Summer of Soccer - by Big Soccer Preview

The Summer of Soccer has come to an all too familiar end: heartbreak for England. Adam and Jordan look back on the Summer that was, the splendor and magnificence of the Euros, and batsh*t insanity of the Copa America. But it's all football, and we love it.

It's the last week of the Summer of Soccer, and we're starting to get a little sad about it. Fortunately, there's plenty of great football still to enjoy. Adam and Jordan look forward to the semifinals in both the Euros and the Copa America. They preview Spain vs France and the showdown between England (yes, England!) and the Dutch in Dortmund. Canadamerica is still going strong but will have to face their old nemesis, Argentina, to keep this historic run going. And Colombia-Uruguay present a potential pinnacle of South American football for your viewing pleasure in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The podcast may have been away for a bit, but the Summer of Soccer stops for no one. Even though it is technically over for the Americans....but we digress. A deep dive into where the U.S. Men's National Team goes from here after it bowed out of the Copa America. We also look at the Euros as the quarterfinal round beckons for all. Is Bellingham's magic enough to spur England on against the Swiss? Who is having a worse tournament: England or France? Can the Netherlands find the momentum they need to get past the plucky Turks? And finally, why isn't Spain v Germany the actual Euros final? A huge holiday weekend of matches is coming up, so let's get you started off right!

In a late night, "after dark" version of Summer of Soccer, Adam and Jordan go deep into the U.S. Men's National Team ahead of their Copa America opener against Bolivia. Fair warning, it's a long one. They talk about what fans should expect, what is fair to ask of this U.S. team, and what it means heading into the 2026 World Cup. Then it's time to talk England and Gareth Southgate, Scotland and John McGinn's odd connection to Hungary, France and offside calls, and all things Euro 2024 ahead of the final decisive group stage games.

If you couldn't tell by the searing heat sweeping the nation, the Summer of Soccer is in full swing. Adam and Jordan recap a HOT first five days of Euros action from Germany, including an exciting looking Spain, solid Italy, comeback kids Netherlands, and (decent?) England. Then we switch gears to the Copa America and see how far we can stretch our knowledge of South American football.

Summertime is here and we start off our Summer of Soccer with a nice Euros Preview to get the body pumping. Adam and Jordan go group by group and ask who will come out on top when all is said and done in Germany. Does England merit the title of favorite? Is France poised to succeed behind Kylian Mbappe? Could the Netherlands be the team to beat, and how will the hosts fair? Come take a dip in the football pool. The water's fine.

Before we officially enter Summer of Soccer, Adam and Jordan look back on the season and talk about a few important things that will be going on in the background of the Euros and Copa America. VAR drama, financial regulations, and possibly even the future of club football as we know it hang in the balance. Oh, and Chelsea sacked another manager.

The Premier League is coming to a close, and Adam and Jordan are here to break down what all can happen on an exciting final day (well, exciting for some of us). Who will West Ham stick it to in their showdown with Man City? Can Everton manage one last hurrah before they (potentially) fade into financial nothingness against Arsenal? Will Man United's new manager find himself battling away in the Europa Conference League? We also say goodbye to Jurgen Klopp and his big shiny teeth.

We also fly over Europe to see what's happening as the club seasons come to an end. But it's not all sadness: English Football League playoff finals are here!

Just before the season comes to a close, Big Soccer Preview is back to dissect all the big matches to come. From title fights to relegation scraps, Adam and Jordan catch up and look ahead to this weekend's Barclays Premier League action. There may not be much left to play for on the continent, but Adam has found one place where the title race is still very much on: Belgium! And finally, we look ahead to what's in store for the podcast in a big summer to come for football fandom in America. #SummerOfSoccer starts here!

It's FA Cup Quarterfinal weekend and our last chance to preview the European soccer weekend before the international break. Luton's relegation dog fight against Nottingham Forest is holding the fort for the Prem this weekend, along with Fulham's big London battle against Tottenham. Man City-Newcastle and Man United-Liverpool highlight the world's oldest football cup competition, and things get spicy in northern Italy as defending champions Napoli pay a visit to Serie A leaders Inter.
