How different would things be if the USMNT qualified for the 2018 World Cup, drafting men's and women's players into quidditch teams, and more listener questions w/ Adam Snavely Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

It's a weird episode! You've been warned. The Baron Lord Snavington joins Taylor to answer four listener questions, the first two of which take about 45 minutes:

1) "Can you each draft one men's and one women's Quiddich team (1 keeper, 3 chasers, 2 beaters, and a seeker) using only USMNT and USWNT eligible players. Weston McKinnie MUST be the first pick." We can. We did. It was hectic.

2) If the US had gone to the 2018 World Cup, how different would things look today? Who would be coaching the 2021 squad, who would be president of the federation, and how would we have fared in Russia?

3) Has Vlatko Andonovski implemented a tactical identity for the USWNT?

4) What is a ping-pong/yo-yo club, and what are some notable examples from different countries?

Weekend Review! Man Utd best City, Atletico Madrid play pretty, and Dortmund — what a pity! Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Ryan, Taylor and Graham take a look at the biggest matches in world soccer from the weekend!

0.00 - Manchester City vs. Manchester Utd: Ole’s hands were firmly on the wheel when Utd ended City’s winning streak—but how did he pull it off?

23.30 - Liverpool vs. Fulham: Liverpool sixth consecutive home defeat came at the hands of a very impressive Fulham side, who took advantage of the Reds’ energy levels and makeshift backline.

37.28 - Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid: A highly entertaining game involving Atleti? What are the odds! Diego Simeone’s side shined, but paid the price for letting Los Blancos back into the game.

50.10 - Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund: Der Klassiker’s format was strictly adhered to on Saturday, when BVB made a dominant start, only to fail to kill off the game.

Show notes

Ryan, Taylor and Graham break down the biggest moments from the biggest games of the weekend! Hurrah!

0.00 - Chelsea vs. Manchester United: The latest edition of this Big Six clash ended in a goalless draw with little spectacle. Who saw that coming? Everyone did? Oh, right.

19.44 - RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach: East Germany gave us the best game of the weekend, in which Leipzig came back from two goals down to add further misery to Marco Rose's Gladbach.

33.19 - Roma vs. Milan: Zlatan may have had an off-day, but Milan were set up for success in their visit to the Stadio Olimpico.

43.58 - Sevilla vs. Barca: Things may be looking grim off the field, but there were no issues on it for Barca! Ronald Koeman took a tactical gamble, and it paid off.
