The KickAround is simply about talking soccer and all that implies. Andy & Peter bring the Dallas area perspective of the game, but in a way familiar to The Ticket. The show gives sanctuary to the portion of the True Ticket P1 who also loves soccer. No matter if you’re new to the game or a long-time hardcore, don’t worry, we’re just kickin’- it around.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KickAround #413 - "Offically Speculating"
Q: In the Spain-Germany game, that came down to a moment where the current Ballon d'Or holder, Bomanti, what's the way I want to say this? She makes a tremendous move and ends up hitting the winning goal. Was that goal intended to go in in that space, or was she trying to cross the ball to an onrushing teammate at the far post and mis hit it and got lucky?
I would like to think that as a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, that she meant to do that.
KickAround #411 - "The Big Day We've Waited Our Lifetime For..."
Q: How excited are we for the Club World Cup final?
We're excited but prefer it to be European vs non-European; Chelsea and PSG is not as riveting.
KickAround - "Special Emergency Episode"
Q: What would you ask Postecoglou if you had the chance?
I would like to know the decision-making process behind the transfers last summer.
KickAround #406 - "Season of the Underdog"
Q: Should the general US men's national team fan be mad at these players for bailing on the Gold Cup?
Fans have every right to be worried about how the preparations for the World Cup next year are going. This is far from ideal.
KickAround #401 - "Four Trays of Eggs!"
Q: What are your thoughts on Pulisic waving off the coach during the US game?
It's unusual for a player to go against a coach's instructions, indicating possible deeper issues.
