EPB Podcast

  Topics: - Al Nassr Considered for UEFA UCL Entry - Cristiano still the most relevant athlete in sports - MLS Playoff Format - Building the Chelsea FC "Ones that Got Away" XI

It's the last international break of the year and Jorge (@Vincentiasfilho), Dale (@daleelliotjr) and I discuss the countries and players that have the best chance of winning the next European and World Cup competitions. Between Jorge and Dale's obsession with Ricardo Quaresma or the search for the next great German number 9, there are a lot of fun questions to unpack this week. But the biggest question of them all is if any Brazilian stars can maintain their greatness after the age of 28? We couldn't prove Dale wrong in this episode but maybe you can. Check it out and hit us on the Eat Pray Ball social handles to let us know what you think!

The title of this episode is admittedly misleading.  We touch on soccer news around the world for 95% of this cast.  That said we do have a few thoughts on Kanye at the top of the show and, unfortunately, that person who elevated my love of music with his Late Registration album in 2005 can no longer garner my attention.  In fact, I'm resolved to never listen to this man's music again. (and that's before I heard Drake's comments on the latest episode of HBO's The Shop). Other Highlights include: • Anthony Martial's €10 million Come up • US Men's Soccer's Progress...? • International Break-Down... See what I did there? Ep. 35 Here
