"Put that guy on the field: we need goals!" Jason Davis on the upcoming USMNT roster, and a little Decision Day chat as well Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

Jason Davis returns to the show and, as always, we get sidetracked early and often. We start with Halloween traditions (naturally) but then quickly get into a whole host of topics relating to the USMNT, including depth at the striker, theories on why we suddenly have so many wingers, the most trusted players in the pool, how to motivate the team to play against opponents who might be playing in the biggest game of their careers, and much much more! Plus, why marrying an engineer is a good idea and the challenges of understanding Bruce Arena.

Weekend Review! Tottenham say no-no to Nuno, Barcelona's struggles continue & Zlatan's Milan conquers Rome Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

On this Monday’s Weekend Review, Ryan, Taylor and Graham take a look back on the biggest games from Europe!

Manchester United's visit to Tottenham was billed as a face-off between two managers facing the sack—and that billing certainly came to pass when Nuno was relieved of his duties.

Elsewhere, Man City suffered at the hands of Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace, Roma fell to 10-man Milan, and Barcelona haven't quite ironed out the kinks in the post-Koeman era.
