Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast

Did Neves just score an early favorite Puskas nominee against Manchester United in a devastating fashion? He just may have. What a goal. In the end, a tie in the Molineaux is improvement over last year and Manchester United has been fantastic in stretches of the early season. They could have easily won that game and they should have (cough::Pogba PK::cough).

We dance around the Premier League beginnings, show love to Sheffield United and Norwich City (TEEEEEEMU), talk about how much Newcastle might suck, then jump into La Liga and Champions League and have a good time doing it. Then the rants get weird about the Puskas. 

Jimmy's daughter also makes her first appearance on the podcast at 4 weeks old. 

Another lost episode from the boys. We spoke with Paul Peterson about some amazing soccer trips that him and his wife have taken in the pass. But we lost the audio. We need to do some soul searching on interview techniques...

But, the boys spoke for about half an hour on all of things you have come to expect from Rooster and the Devil. Deep dives on the Spurs win over Aston Villa and ManU's win over Chelsea. Then we jump around the league before ending with thinking we had an interview coming up for you guys. Oh well. We'll get them back on.

Silly Season (transfer season) is a fickle bitch. Tottenham supporters have been teased all Summer long and we're sick of it. Let's just sign Lo Celso, Dybala, and Sessegnon. That's not to much to ask?

It's almost over though. The Premier League is back, baby. We get hyped. We talk about teams all up and down the table. 

Then we take an entertaining trip down a Zlatan rabbit hole. We nickname him 'The Mercenary' and talk all about how amazing he is. And part of his amazingness is his craziness. That dude cray.

Saints fans rejoice! We take a deep dive into Southampton FC Matt Neuhausen, who is a contributor on @talkSAINTS. So many fun details about the squad, some history, players to watch for and the whole bit. And it wouldn't be a Rooster and the Devil interview without weirdly discussing the USL. Specifically, Matt's internship and love of the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

We were originally slated for this episode to have a Southampton touch but alas, we lost some precious audio. Oh well. We'll have him back on soon. 

But have no fear! Our old friend Chris saved the day to come on and talk about his beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers. We jump into their Europa League qualifying home and away series (starts on Thursday 7/25!) coming up against the Crusaders of Northern Ireland. Then we talk about the Wolves offseason and look ahead. 

The end of the episode closes with Brad and Mike (Roosters) talking Tottenham and hyping up our future Southampton episode. Fun stuff.
