James Sharman joins Paul Jones and John Shannon today for a much needed update on all that's been going on in the soccer world this summer.

We talk to James about his work trip to Portugal, what he was getting up to and his impression on the soccer culture in the country before shifting gears to the Premier League, the movement of top tier players and the insane transfer money being tossed around.

We then spend some time digging into the impact Lionel Messi has had on North American Soccer and get James' thoughts on the ongoing women's World Cup.
