The Overlap

The games in England this weekend are a big reason why we love this game. Back and forth drama between Liverpool and Chelsea gave us one of the best 0-0 games we can remember (recency bias aside, of course). Plus, we review the impacts that Abramovich's statement have on the club, Manchester United's slip up against Watford, and the rest of the Top 4 race. La Liga thoughts coming later this week!

After last week's Champions League and Europa League matches, we're back reviewing the weekend's games in England and Spain, featuring Man City vs Spurs, Barcelona vs Valencia, and many more! Did Spurs actually play well or was their win a combination of individual performances? Did Bilbao's win against Real Sociedad mean that La Real are in trouble? At this point, all options are on the table...

Well, this past weekend was wildly entertaining in Spain with Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid taking all the headlines in a thrilling 4-2 result. We review that game in detail along with Real Madrid, Sevilla, Real Betis, Real Sociedad and more! We also touch on the AFCON final, the significance of it for Senegal, and some of the FA Cup results in England. Oh, and PS, Manchester United are still not a very good team.

With the international break sidelining club competitions until next weekend, we spend this week's pod reviewing some of the biggest stories from a very busy January transfer window! From Aubameyang to Barcelona and Dele Alli to Everton, we go through it all. And, a special shoutout to Christian Eriksen making his way back to the Premier League!

We decided to record a few days later to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend in England! From a top 4 battle between Chelsea and Spurs, United squeaking out a win, and the relegation battle intensifying, we go over it all! After the break, we spend some time on AFCON updates and a preview of the international break for the USMNT.

This (very cold and snowy) week on the pod, we review everything going on in the Prem! With Spanish football taking a brief pause for Copa Del Rey games and the Spanish Supercup (in Saudi Arabia??), we go over why Manchester City's title to lose could still be an open race, what's wrong with Everton as a club, who's most likely to finish Top4, and, of course, what are the COVID protocols actually supposed to be for players/staff?

So, one of us forgot which domestic cup tournament was even on this weekend in England - as a result, we focus on many of the La Liga narratives from this past weekend including: Barcelona's bizarre approach to transfers this month, Sevilla's chances at a title upset, and our expectations for Villareal and Atletico Madrid (special shoutout to Levante too!). Over in England, we cover some of the League Cup results and a preview of next weekend's North London Derby!

We ring in 2022 recapping the matches from this past weekend and their significance (i.e. will City now go on to win the league? what does Real Madrid's loss do to the rest of the La Liga table?). All that and more this week!
