- Very Enjoyable
Good analysis and the hosts all have great chemistry. I like the deep cuts and takes they have that are way ahead other pods on US soccer mgmt and player pool. I appreciate analysis that isnt rooted in hot takes and trying to be “first” that wankers like Lalas and Gomez relish. Bone dry humor and the bants are stellar, too. Also, the Bob Bradley episode in Aug ‘26 was truly excellent. It was two hours and I could have listened to it much much longer.

Apple Podcasts5VandyKampsUnited States22 days ago - The only futbol podcast we need
I subscribed to a bunch of soccer podcasts in the lead up to World Cup 2026 and now that it’s over, this is the only one I won’t unsubscribe to. I particularly like the match breakdowns after each game, and will count on this podcast to keep me in touch until soccer begins again in 2030.

Found yall after first group stage match when i couldn’t get any meaningful analysis from mainstream media. Been a USMNT fan for several decades, but admittedly just a hair above the casual fan. Kept tuning in to make sure i wasnt crazy when i was getting pounded by hot takes from super casual fans in my inner circle. Great analysis and interesting shows. Not a discord kinda fan, but if yall give me a way to donate to just the extra podcasts i am in even though usmnt is out. Questioning why Puli... more
