With Daryl absent, Josh, Albert, and Taylor did their best to soldier on and discussed Borussia Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich. We discuss all the goals and whether or not Bastian Schweinsteiger was still drunk or just hung over (allegedly). Then it's on to the Carling Cup Final, where Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and centre-half Laurent Koscielny gifted Obafemi Martins and Birmingham City their first cup title in 48 years. We broke down what the win means for the competition in general and Birmingham in specific, and discussed where Arsenal go from here. MLS announced changes to their already convoluted playoff structure. The trio discuss the changes and whether or not they're good for the league. And then, as always, it's the Wikipedia Game... with perhaps a bigger gaffe than the Szczesyn/Koscielny Incident. Download and enjoy! |

We compare American soccer terminology with English football terminology. Cleats vs. boots, overtime vs. extratime, outside back vs. fullback, and so on. What's the story behind the different phrases, and--more importantly--which one makes the most sense? We also discuss Grant Wahl's bid for the FIFA presidency and close out with the Wikipedia Game. |

We were at Gus' at 7:30am Sunday morning to see Celtic beat Rangers 3-0 in the Old Firm Derby. We managed to have a quick chat with Dave N.C. Smith of the Central Virginia & Richmond Celtic Supporters and then headed to the studio to record. Also discussed: West Brom vs Wolves and the NBA Dunk Contest. |

We interview Richmond Kickers director of soccer/head coach Leigh Cowlishaw, paying particular attention to the new USL PRO league and what that means for Richmond fans. We talk Charlie Davies making his deal with DC United official, the release of the MLS 2011 calendar and the retirement of Ronaldo. Last but never least, the show closes with the Wikipedia Game, hosted by Albert and his cold. |

We discuss the Manchester derby, with emphasis on Wayne Rooney's goal. We also talk about two important American debuts: Michael Bradley for Aston Villa and Jozy Altidore for Bursaspor. We alsop discuss Mark Cuban's response to the Team America idea and close, as always, with the Wikipedia Game. |

Very much a show of two halves. For the first 30 minutes we have Jesse Smith in the studio to discuss the Central Virginia Soccer Association, Virginia's largest adult soccer league. For the second 30 minutes we get hypothetical and consider the possibility of an American billionaire creating a Team America to compete in Europe. As always we close with the edge of the seat drama that is the Wikipedia Game. |
Thu, 3 February 2011
We briefly discuss the inevitable cancellation of the Egypt vs USA friendly, then move on to talk Michael Bradley's loan move to Aston Villa, Jozy Altidore's loan to the Turkish champions, Freddy Adu's move to not the Turkish champions and the surprising news about Charlie Davies training with DC United. Then it's Torres, Suarez and Carrol, and Wikipedia Game to close. |
