Episode 59 - Out with the Old

Image
Sitting down with the boys @iamthomaspierce and @vincentiasfilho to talk about the most recent international break and some of the new look teams we saw filled with young talent.  It begs the question; what is our obsession with the next new player?  Has sports and international Soccer always been like this or has the interest on very young talent heightened because of the access we have to players around the world?  Welcome to Eat Pray Ball on another beautiful Monday. Tap in!

Ep. 35 - Boycott Ye

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
