Qatar World Cup Group E Combined Best XI

In this xenophobic episode of DeadBall TV, the lads fiercely debate our choices for the combined Group E Best XI including Spain, Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica. But first, we offer our opinion on the "xenophobia" accusations hailed against Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for saying... something? We aren't exactly sure. Regardless, we give our unqualified opinion.

The USMNT & Mexico Are Really Down Bad

In this episode of DeadBall TV, we discuss the recent friendlies involving the Mexican national team and the USMNT against Colombia and Saudi Arabia. Neither game had a final result that flattered CONCACAF, a region which overall had an embarrassing showing during this international window.

Which team is in a worst position right now: Mexico or the US? Should the expectations for both of these teams still be to get out of the group stage? And should either Mexico or the USMNT consider a last-second managerial change?

We break down all that and more in this episode. Be sure to give the podcast a 5-star rating and comment your thoughts down below!

Argentina & Ecuador September Friendlies Preview & An Embarrassing Day For European Football

In this episode of DeadBall TV, we had a wonderful episode planned full of sunshine & roses while talking about the Argentina and Ecuador national teams. Instead, we had to do a 20-minute intro discussing the racist even that happened outside the Atletico Madrid stadium before the Madrid Derby. An absolutely embarrassing day for Atleti, Spain, and European football as a whole. 

After that cathartic episode, we get back to your regularly scheduled program and take a deep dive into the squad call-ups for Argentina and Ecuador. Were there any massive player omissions? Has Scaloneta lost the plot? Ecuador to win the World Cup? Really I'm just trying to see if anyone actually reads these descriptions.

Remember to give the podcast a 5-star(or 1-star) review on whatever platform you use!

Thanks, U Da Best <3

2022 Champions League Draw: Serie A Teams Need Redemption & English Better Stomp

In this episode of DeadBall TV, the lads react to the 2022 Champions League draw which gave us some exciting groups to look forward to in this year's edition of the tournament.

What is the group of death? The consensus seems to be Group C with Bayern, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and a sacrificial lamb, but we disagree.

As per usual, we give some pretty hot and very questionable predictions on how exactly this champions league group stage is about to play out. Plus, we crown a way too early winner of this years Champions League.

Let us know your thoughts on the groups in the comments!
