  • Episode 75: Updates from The Euros and Copa America
    Jun 27 2024

    Whaaatup and welcome back for Episode 75! This week, we talk all things Euro 2024 and Copa America as we move further into both tournaments.

    In a brief MLS Blast, we talk how Inter Miami are still finding W's without Leo Messi, and the tightening race in the West between LA Galaxy, LAFC, and Real Salt Lake.

    As the group stages come to a close in the Euros, we talk everything from Gareth Southgate's sputtering England squad, to Mbappe and France's struggles to find their final gear. We discuss Ralf Rangnick's impressive dark horse in Austria, and hometown favorites Germany and their free-flowing attack with Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala. Plus, is Portugal's side (Cristiano Ronaldo included) the real deal? Or is it still trying to find the best version of itself.

    On the other side of the Atlantic, we break down the first round of the Copa America groups stages. How did Christian Pulisic and the USMNT fair against Bolivia? Is Gio Reyna the best fit in this midfield, or is it Yunus Musah? And, what's going on in Brazil? Is this Vinicious Jr's Team? Or will they continue to struggle without Neymar? And, will Leo Messi and Argentina continue to roll with Julian Alvarez up top? Or will Latauro Martinez get his chance to shine this tournament?

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 74: What are the USA's Chances at Copa America?
    Jun 21 2024

    Whaaatup and welcome back for episode 74

    This week, we're previewing the Copa America through an American lens.

    We break down Gregg Berhalter's USMNT roster, and how his starting XI may shake out. With Sergiño Dest out, how does Joe Scally fill the void? Does Gregg look to play Gio Reyna as a number 10? Or will he be shut out again? What happens at the number 6 position between Tyler Adams and Johnny Cordoso? And, who will line up as our number 9: Folarin Balogan or Ricardo Pepi?

    Plus, we break down some of the heavy hitters. Who should be considered the favorite? Is it Vinicious Jr and a Neymar-less Brazil? Or is it Leo Messi and Argentina? And, how does Darwin Nunez and Co. fair for a Marcelo Bielsa-lead Uruguay? And are Colombia actually nice??

    Enjoy!
