Whaaatup and welcome back for Episode 90! This week we're bringing you aall of the headlines we've missed in the last few weeks and doing it on a shot clock.

We bring you a tight 5 on Rodri's (controversial?) Ballon D'or, Ruben Amorim's appointment at Manchester United, and the title aspirations of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool. We round it out with some thoughts on the new Champions League format, and some updates on the MLS Playoff picture.

Enjoy!

Whaaaatup and welcome back for episode 89 of Footy Banter. This week, we're talking women's soccer and rolling out the red carpet for our esteemed guest, Annie Pendleton. As a lifelong player and fan of the game, she helps break down the state of the women's game today. From challenges to triumphs, and roadblocks to breakthroughs, Annie brings us a bit of perspective of how she sees the game today, and how it might differ from the men's side of things.

We focus in on the USWNT, and how these upcoming friendlies against Iceland, Iceland, and Argentina might show us a glimpse into the future of the federation. Enjoy!

Whaaatup and welcome back for Episode 88! This week, we welcome Sader Matar to the program to walk us through all things Mexican soccer. We chat about Mexico taking down the USMNT 2-0, the state of the Mexican federation, and how Liga M-X fits into the picture compared to European exports. Enjoy!

Whaaaatp and welcome back for ANOTHER international break episode. We can hardly contain our excitement.

This week, to pass the time, we created our own country and gave it a national team. I'm not sure exactly where we landed on the logistics, but I'm pretty sure we annexed the pacific garbage patch and made it our own. Then, we drafted players from different countries around the footballing world to build up national team roster.

Enjoy!

Whaaaaatup and welcome back to Footy Banter! This week, we're talking two pretty different topics: Major League Soccer, and the growing issue of fixture congestion worldwide.

We bring you some updates from the Major League Soccer playoff race, a few words on each of the contenders, and how Messi's Miami are looking after locking up the supporters shield mere hours after this podcast was recorded.

Then, we pivot pretty hard tbh and start talking about how bad the fixture congestion problem actually is around the world. And, if these problems aren't going anywhere, how will teams have to adapt to cope with it? Is a strike inevitable? Or will teams just rack up 40-man squads like Chelsea?

Who knows? I hop you enjoy!

Whaaaatup and welcome back for episode 85! Our Serie A correspondent, Niko Filippi, joins the show to walk us through how its all unfolding in Italy these days. In a mildly too late season preview, we break down how things were supposed to shake out going into the season, and how these things actually are shaking out 5 matches in.

Enjoy!

Whaaaaatup and welcome back for season 3 episode 5! Fresh off the back of the first ever Footy Banter Tournament, we take you through the latest in a much larger tournament: The Champions League, and its new format.

We chat through exactly how this new structure is supposed to work, and try to figure out if we like it or not. We talk through the pros, cons, and weird kinks for this "league phase" and how it might be better or worse than the old model.

Enjoy!
