Cleared Off The Line

Forrest and Terry took out the stat book for this one as they determined which EPL players were either over or underrated. The boys compared Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford, AWB and Reece James, Sadio Mane and Raheem Sterling just to name a few. Thanks for listening!

All three of the boys are back for this one as they analyzed La Liga's dip in form when it comes to European competition. Barca, Atletico and Sociedad all lost in their respective matches this past week and Real Madrid is not exempt from poor performances in the UCL. Taking a deeper look the boys traced these woes back to transfers that did not work out for Barca and Real as well as the difference in playing style that Spanish teams have. Listen off the top for that conversation.

Skip ahead to 14:00 minutes for the boys giving their takes on which teams are the biggest EPL disappointments so far. They also talked about who has risen above expectations. Two of the biggest disappointments were unanimously agreed upon... Spurs and Arsenal. Does Jose really think he can change Spurs? Or better yet can they be changed by anyone?

All that and more on this episode. Thanks for listening!

We're kicking off season 4 with a blast from the past that took Forrest and Terry down memory lane. Cue nostalgia! 

Around the 2014 World Cup there were major innovations in boots, soccer balls and kits. Not to mention Neymar was plastered... not by drinks... but on everyone's television. The boys also looked at what content Nike and Adidas put out with commercials (Risk Everything, First Never Follows and Winner Stays) as well as short videos (MLS Insider and Adidas Gameday Plus). 

All in all the boys felt that from 2010 to 2014 the soccer content was at its best and captivated the United States audience with global and domestic stars. C'mon who doesn't like a good Ronaldo commercial?

Thanks for listening!

We started where we left off last week with three more clubs to cover in the midseason review in the EPL. Timecodes below.

From the top Carolina Toffees member Robert Morrison was happy with Everton's changes for the better, but injuries are proving troublesome for the Toffees who lack depth.

Olly Wilson joined us again and had plenty to say about Chelsea's woes. He thinks that Lampard has too many choices in the team every week. (8:00)

Lastly Terry had some time to vent about Arsenal, but he had some help. Avery Wilks, a journalist from the Post and Courier in Columbia, joined us to talk about the Gunners' lack of transparency with Ozil and Saliba. Don't worry they talked about Arteta too. (15:00)

See you in season 4!

After a very entertaining EPL season so far, the boys rounded up some fans to talk about their clubs. Look below for the time codes of your favorite club.

Listen from the start as we talked to Clay Sellers about Liverpool. He thinks the Reds can repeat. 

Tom Watson came on to talk about Manchester United and said that Liverpool is not considered a title challenger at all in his mind. (7:40)

Then Spurs fan Jackson Sims still does not like Mourinho ball, but has been more content with the results this season. (14:30)

Lastly, Johnathan Rachwal visited to talk about Manchester City. He said that he would trade numerous EPL titles for the ever evasive UCL crown for City, but Trey was not so sure about that take. (22:00)

Listen next week for part two featuring Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal fans.

All three of the boys were able to get together for this one as they discussed a wide range of topics in footy news.

Vanderbilt University Women's Soccer GK Sarah Fuller's ceiling shattering achievement as the first woman to play in a Power 5 American Football game was the first priority of the boys this week. Listen from 00:30 for that.

Next up at 08:15 was a talk about the unusual La Liga table with two clubs that are usually in the shadows getting all the limelight. Most of the conversation was about the poor form of Barca and Real who sit lower than they'd like.

Lastly, we assessed Gareth Bale's mundane return to Spurs and the thoughts that maybe he is content with sitting on the bench. That's at 18:30.

Thanks for listening!

Trey is back everyone! Him and Forrest got out to training early today to record.

To start off, boys recapped the Gamecock Womens Soccer team's performance against Mizzou from Tuesday and looked ahead to the SEC Tournament semifinals that happen tonight (Nov. 19). The Gamecocks play the number one ranked Arkansas Razorbacks. Forrest and Trey also previewed the other teams in the semis. Skip ahead to 14:30 to hear that.

With the women's NCAA Tourney slated to begin in the late spring Forrest and Trey also raised some concerns about the state of competition in the women's college game to end off the episode. You can listen to their thoughts starting at the 19 minute mark.

Thanks for listening!

Terry and Forrest were happy to talk about plenty of different news today on the pod. The midweek release date is unusual, but every club has to play Wednesday night matches at some point.

Off the top the boys talked about Zlatan's resurgence with AC Milan. Should he get a Sweden call up?

Then at the 6:40 mark, with Alex Morgan's debut for Spurs, Forrest and Terry discussed how American players are popularizing the league.

Lastly at the 18:00 mark, the new USMNT squad has been released and there is a youth movement for sure this time around. Find out who the boys are excited about seeing play and why they're concerned with CP10's latest injury.

Forrest has always been a fan of grassroots football and he brought along someone that could help him talk about it. Sid Curtis is a grassroots footballer from South Croydon, England and plays for Sporting 50 Reserves. Sid has played local football his whole life and was able to give us a better idea of the how's and why's of the grassroots game. Forrest and Sid talked about how team sponsorships are big at the local level, how footy is a social activity as well as a game and lastly the positives and negatives of grassroots.

Forrest and Terry were playing duos without Trey this week as the third man had some business to attend to. (Shhhh don't tell anyone.) But, the episode was a success as the boys talked about Arsene Wenger's new role at FIFA and his proposed rule changes.

Wenger's ideas include changing the offside rule and having kick ins instead of throw ins amongst other ideas. Listen to get the full story and what takes Forrest and Terry and to offer.
