Listener Questions! What’s wrong with Lyon? Plus, soccer players who would excel at other sports, the Olympics, and more Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

The foursome is here to answer your listener questions (and to talk about Xabi Alonso’s distribution)! You can find the full list of questions that we discussed down below:

1) What realistic overage players would we pick for the U.S. men’s squad at next summer’s Olympics?

2) Do shin guards actually prevent injuries?

3) What has happened with Lyon?

4) Who would win: an MLS team with a squad full of $1 million players or an MLS team with a squad full of $250,000 players with three $5 million players sprinkled in?

5) Is MLS’s current large playoff field the only way to make the season exciting?

6) Which soccer players would excel in our favorite non-soccer sports?
