The Free Kick Soccer Podcast

For almost 2 years we've talked Premier League and Champions League soccer and have had an absolute blast! Unfortunately, now is the time to venture onto a new topic due to work, I haven't been able to watch nearly enough Premier League and Champions League soccer this season to be able to discuss the different topics and games, which leads me to the tough choice to stop this podcast. I will however be rebranding the podcast to discuss the Philadelphia Union and hopefully non-league teams once a week! Thank you to everyone who has listened to the podcast, thank you for all the different guest we've had on, your support means so much to me and the podcast. But I look forward to podcasting about the Union and non-league teams at the start of December/January! With that said, COME ON YOU BOYS IN BLUE!

Over the next couple weeks I'll be deleting MOST of the podcast episodes. So, if you guys want to check out some of our older stuff, do it before they are gone! 

Thanks for all the support everyone!
