901 Soccer Pod

We discuss a hotly contested USSF Presidential race, and the sad and depressing state of the MLS players called into national team duty. It's quite the overreaction, of course, but what are podcasts for? We also play the yes/no game with the 2022 World Cup roster.

January was a HUGE month for Memphis soccer, with the USL announcement, Tim Howard's involvement, and Memphis City's switch to the USL PDL. A former U of M player is going pro, and kids have chances to tryout all around the area. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the 901 Soccer Podcast!

We offered USL Commissioner Jake Edwards three bottles of Memphis BBQ sauce if he would come on the show. He took us up on the offer, and we had a great time with the interview. Our good friend Seamus Loftus from The Brass Door stopped by to talk about the relationship between club and pub, as well as the importance of establishing traditions. We also have some raw audio from our convos on a long but incredibly exciting day.

Our new best friends Peter Freund, Craig Unger, and Tim Howard (yes, that one) stop by to talk #USL2Memphis. We chat about logistics, community involvement, the role of the team in the city, and much more.

In this episode, we honor those who are doing great things in Memphis soccer. No matter if it is on the field, in the classroom, or one the sidelines, this year's nominees gave Memphis a good name. We proudly present our team of the year, squad of the year, and people of the year.

We talk about the year in local and national soccer, answering listener questions and playing a bit of true-false. Questions include "When will USL Memphis officially be announced?" and "What is the first thing the USMNT can do to have a better year in 2018?"

Lawrence Dockery of World Soccer Talk joins the pod to talk USL Memphis and the USMNT new kids on the block. We answer Twitter and email questions about USL Memphis, what this means for the city, and where the new team will play. We also talk about the encouraging performance against Portugal and the next US coach.

We needed TWO HOURS to discuss our depression at the US missing out on the World Cup. We will do a local teams pod soon, but we needed this therapy. We also discuss what to do moving forward as a soccer nation.

Nathan Shelby talks about the University of Memphis Men's and Women's teams, plus the new Southwest CC team and the USL to Memphis rumors.

We discuss the USL Memphis rumors, what Alexi said about the USMNT, the EPL top four, and what life would be like in a Pro/Rel alternate universe.
