Outside the Boot

Whew, it's been a while since our last upload. With more leagues now back in action, we wanted to discuss some of the games that have occurred since we last posted. The Bundesliga is now all but wrapped up with Bayern claiming their eighth successive title; we spoke on how their season was turned around by a managerial change and some of the players that have shined under Flick. La Liga has restarted as well, with a couple of games being played. The title race seems to be a two horse race between the eternal rivals yet again, but there's still some excitement to be had. Over in Italy, the Coppa Italia was chosen to be the competition that restarts first. We discussed the semi finals and Juve's dismal performance in the final. Finally, we touched on the revised formats for both the Champion's League and Europa League.

It's been a pretty slow newsweek outside of the Newcastle takeover news, but we still had a couple of items to discuss. On the table for this episode was discussions on already agreed upon summer transfers, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) axing the youth development league, the possibility of collegiate soccer in the South, the suspension of promotion and relegation in the Liga MX for the next five seasons, and more on the aforementioned NUFC takeover.
