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
