EPB Podcast

  Topics: - Chelsea vs Fulham - Mudryk Finally Scores! - Champions League week 2 - My upcoming trip to St. James Park for Newcastle vs PSG

Starting off today's pod with a recap of my weekend trip to Vegas to see the USMT dominate the Concacaf Nations League.  Despite on-field success, we still have a long way to go in growing a true fandom around the game and our team in the US.  I examine the state of Chelsea after our worst season in 20 years, who I'd let go as we need to severely trim down our roster and who I'm hopeful of for the future.  I talk Balon D'or power rankings, as the season has finally wrapped, who really should take the trophy?  And finish this episode with a recap of the personal bets I made at the beginning of the season?  Took some L's, not going to lie.  TAP IN

  Can you believe I have published 100 of these things?!!  Huge milestone day for me a I celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast!  If you know me, you know how impressive that level of consistency is.  Today, @ash_aust1n and take it back to our roots - hanging out, playing some FIFA and pontificating footy storylines around the worlds top 5 leagues.  Today's topics include Chelsea's chaotic season, whether or not Man United underperformed this year based on their player's salaries, Ivan Toney's betting scandal, the new Champions League format and what players should leave or stay at their clubs this summer.  TAP IN!

Back in the Studio with our favorite Real Madrid fan @theleandre and @ash_aust1n the cautiously optimistic Arsenal supporter.  We start this week's podcast with an extensive discussion around Chelsea FC, analyzing their current roster and table position compared to the absurd amount of money they're spending.  Taking a look at some of the best games from the past week including El Clasico, the Manchester and North London derbies.  A lot of banter and hot takes in this one including my favorite question this week: Will Bukayo Saka's career follow the same trajectory as Raheem Sterling's? And is it a bad thing if true?  

  We have a team of podcasters in today to talk about all the soccer they've watched this past week and the team (or teams) they support.  Can't you only support one team?  We'll talk about that, the effect soccer and sports in general have on pop culture and more. @eatprayball    @iamthomaspierce    @vincentiasfilho     @chanogram_   @ jay_jay_210   @Ash_Aust1n 

Hella soccer topics tonight but we are going to start briefly with how normalized it is to see blatant signs of racism throughout the entire organization of the NFL including the fan base.     It makes me question my own excitement in the fact that the games are finally back.     The English Premier League is also back and we discuss our initial reactions from the first round of matches this opening weekend.   Other highlights include: Neymar switching from Nike to Puma Cristiano Ronaldo’s Prolific international goal record Karim Benzema’s legacy as a top striker and what could have been with France The Young American Players Making their mark on the world.   Another day kicking it with the Noho Bros, Tap in!
