Weekend Review: Man City wins the Premier League, Liverpool keeps the momentum going, and Man United does the same... but in the opposite direction May 13, 2019

Show notes

Ryan and Taylor spend most of the weekend in the Premier League as they discuss City's second straight title, as well as all the many, many reasons why Liverpool fans should be feeling optimistic. Less so for Manchester United fans: who needs to go, who should come in, and what's really going on at the club? We (mostly Taylor) have thoughts.

There's also a new manager for Schalke, a to-the-wire title race in the Bundesliga, Championship playoffs, and terrible Juventus jerseys!

Richmond Kickers Weekly: Analyzing the Lansing draw w/ Daryl and the US Open Cup win w/ Bobby Warshaw May 08, 2019

Show notes

Daryl and Taylor break down Richmond's dramatic draw with Lansing Ignite. There was a stoppage time screamer of an equalizer... but why did the Kickers find themselves in that position in the first place? D&T take a look at what's working for Richmond and what still needs to improve.

After that, Taylor talks to Bobby Warshaw, who was the color commentator for the Kickers' 6-2 win over Virginia United in the US Open Cup. Bobby talks players that impressed, tactical conundrums, and (paraphrasing) why short corners are good and long corners are dumb.

Highlights!
