FM Soccer Talk

Tito has some fun and tough questions for FC Shelton manager, Franco Franzese about the upcoming Shoreline Adult Soccer League (SASL). We break down his team's formation, potential MVP, Leading Goalscorers, and Assists. This is the first time in a decade FC Shelton will not compete in the first division so it's an all-new territory. New teams. New fields. New rivalries and more.

In this episode, Paolo and Franco discuss what it's like and the importance of continuing to play and stay active as you get older. Although today's footballers seem to be better athletes are they better footballers and can they maintain the stress they put their bodies under? Is football the fountain of youth? How many sports are there where a 40-year-old can keep up with a 20-year-old?

Franco lives by the motto, when you rest you rust and no one knows that better than him. 5 knee surgeries in 2 decades and he's still going strong. Paolo has taken up running and has never felt better. We all know strength negates age but what about mobility? What are you doing to keep yourself young and active?

Is it Fashion or is it Football? Today, the line seems to be very thin. With new kits dropping every other week and good designers and decision-makers at an all-time low, it seems fitting (no pun intended) to talk about the trash that passes as a soccer kit these days. Tito, Paolo, and Franco discuss what's, new, trending, and what should not be — like Lebron trying so badly to be Jordan.

UCL is finally back so naturally, we had to talk about it. PSG vs Bayern, Milan vs Tottenham, Club Brugge vs SL Benfica, and Dortmund vs Chelsea. These are matches made in heaven — mouth-watering really! But the best game isn't even a UCL match. Also on Wednesday is Manchester City vs Arsenal which is just mind-blowing that a game like that would be played on the same day as UCL. Monday — is (not) a perfectly good day to play soccer.  

Tito, Paolo, and Franco discuss the latest and greatest (but also the worst) January transfers of all time. We waiting until the deadline day to bring you all the news from the top leagues around the world. Will Chelsea Football Club fall on its face or will the record signings prove to be worth every penny? We speculate on what it must be like for a manager that has no control over the signings that are being brought in and who is getting the cut. 

We want to know, what classifies as a flop. Are these inflated price tags putting extra pressure on the players, managers, and clubs to perform? Listen and share your thoughts — we want to hear from you. 

Tito, Paolo, and Franco are back! Their first podcast in over a year, but not much has changed. The game is still saturated. The winter World Cup happened and it was awesome — the perfect event for bets, bars, and beers. The GOAT debate is over but now soccer has lost its luster. Leagues games seem meaningless and domestic cups are less exciting.

Messi is leaving Barcelona — were words we never thought we'd hear. Messi was one of the last, one-club players left and it seemed like it was always going to be that way until the soccer world was flipped on its head. But why are we so surprised? In a world where money talks, it turns out, Barcelona has run out of funds and was forced to make the hardest — and quite possibly, the worst decision ever. Tito and Paolo break down the market, hypothesize about possible outcomes, and dream about their preferred destination all while breaking down TNF and the FMST 9v9 League in Bridgeport.

Paolo and Franco recap both EURO 2020 semi-final matches; Italy vs Spain and England vs Denmark. PLUS, break down the final between Italy and England at Wembley Stadium. We discuss which players and matchups we are most excited to watch. The EURO 2020 tournament has been excited, to say the least, and not many people could have predicted this final.
