This week’s episode is full of chaos, confusion, and classic Spurs energy. We kick things off with the shocker: Ange Postecoglou sacked by Tottenham—yes, right after winning their first trophy in forever. If that’s not the most Spurs thing ever, we don’t know what is.

Back in MLS, St. Louis City fell 1-2 to Portland. The team looked solid for about 65 minutes, but once again, no one stepped up when it mattered. Someone’s gotta take the reins before this season slips away.

Then we dive into the mess that was USMNT’s 1-2 loss to Turkey. The lineup? Embarrassing. The performance? Worse. We’re 366 days from the World Cup, and we still don’t know our best XI. Players sitting out, no chemistry, and no urgency—what’s going on?

We wrap with the Nations League Final, where Portugal edged Spain on penalties after a 2-2 draw. The big takeaway? The stars showed up. It’s refreshing to see top players actually care about representing their countries—and it made for a thrilling final.

Tune in for all the hot takes, rants, and laughs as we break down another wild week in the world of football!

This week’s episode is all about redemption, domination, and silverware. We kick things off with St. Louis City’s 2-1 win over San Jose—a much-needed result that screams new manager bounce. It felt like first-season vibes all over again, and seeing Löwen and Klauss both on the scoresheet? Chef’s kiss.

Then we head to Europe, where Chelsea smashed Real Betis 4-1 to become UEFA Conference League Champions! The Blues are now the first club in history to win all three major European trophies. It started shaky, but once they settled in, it was domination. A perfect end to a rollercoaster season.

And finally, we talk about the Champions League Final, where PSG absolutely dismantled Inter 5-0. It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. No one was beating them on that day. And as for Mbappé… let’s just say, mans down bad.

Tune in for all the goals, glory, and classic banter as we wrap up a wild week in the world of football!

This week’s episode is packed with drama, disappointment, and a little bit of silverware (finally). We kick things off with STL City’s 0-1 loss to Colorado—yes, we’re now the third-worst team in MLS, and no, we haven’t won a league game since March 15th. It’s getting bleak out here.

Then it’s on to the Europa League Final, where Spurs beat United 1-0. Ange Postecoglou gets his flowers (and some wild photos), Spurs lift their first-ever trophy, and they’re heading to the Champions League. Meanwhile, United’s corner of the podcast has officially been renamed: “No European Football Corner.”

In the Premier League, Chelsea beat Forest 1-0 in a sloppy but dominant performance. The energy was there, the vibes were immaculate, and Champions League football is back. And yes, if Chelsea win the Conference League, we’re saying it: better season than Arsenal. Elsewhere, United beat Villa 2-0—though some say Villa were robbed—and Everton stunned Newcastle 1-0.

We wrap with a look ahead to the Champions League Final on Saturday: PSG vs Inter—we’ve got predictions, hot takes, and maybe a few jabs. Plus, the Conference League Final is set: Chelsea vs Real Betis. Can the Blues end the season with a trophy?

Tune in for all the chaos, celebration, and classic footy banter!

As we finished this episode, the news dropped that St. Louis City SC has released Head Coach Olof Mellberg and current City 2 Head Coach David Critchley will assume first team manager responsibilities..... its almost like we called it. Henry got on late last night to provide a quick chat about this new to end the podcast! Enjoy!

This week on the pod, we break down STL City's brutal 0-3 loss to Minnesota—offensively lost, defensively shaky, and yes… it might be Olaf out. What’s going wrong, and is there a way back?

Then it’s all eyes on Championship Sunday, where chaos is guaranteed. Every match kicks off at the same time, and just one point separates 3rd from 6th. Chelsea face Nottingham Forest with a Champions League spot on the line—can they finish the job?

We also recap Chelsea’s shakey 1-0 win over Manchester United. Was it a statement or just more misery for United?

And finally, we preview the Europa League Final: Spurs vs United. It’s the “Save Your Season” showdown—because let’s be honest, neither team deserves a parade. We couldn’t even make a combined XI without laughing. Who’s more desperate? Who bottles it? We’ve got takes.

Tune in for all the drama, sarcasm, and unfiltered footy talk you love!

This weekend brought the chaos, and we’re here for all of it. STL City fell 1-2 to San Diego in a frustrating home loss—was it fatigue from a looming midweek cup game, or just a flat performance? We break it down. Over in Europe, the Champions League delivered fireworks: Inter and Barcelona put on a 7-goal thriller with Inter edging it 4-3, PSG outclassed Arsenal 2-1 in a statement win, and Spurs handled business with a clean 2-0 over Bodo/Glimt. Meanwhile, Manchester United finally looked alive with a dominant 4-1 win over Bilbao—one will be in champions league next season, who will it be?

And in the Premier League, Chelsea’s top-four hopes took another hit as Newcastle calmly dispatched them 2-0. Is it panic time at Stamford Bridge? We’ve got takes, hot and hotter. Tune in for all the goals, drama, and a healthy dose of banter as we recap the weekend and look ahead to what’s next!
