With a crazy announcement on Sunday regarding 12 top European teams signing on to a plan to create their own midweek competition that would rival the UEFA Champions League I sit down with @bennettwolin, @jorgioblamo & @ash_aust1n to get reactions and clarification on what this European Super League would mean in the world of Soccer.

On this episode I sit down with two young players with professional aspirations who are currently members of the LAFC Academy team. @lafc10justinprada, @lucabombino and I chat about their upbringing, their journey and how they stay focused as Covid protocols have kept them away from competition for over a year. Before that chat though, in the first 35 minutes I catch up with the usual suspects, @don_ohanian, @jay_jay_210, @jorgioblamo and a new comer to the podcast, @el_mateo as we analyze the current handball rule, and Zlatan's latest comments about athletes in politics.

Champions League is Back!  Apologies for this episode title's misdirect but there was a brief moment tonight where we came to the mutual conclusion that Serena Williams is the GOAT of all sports goats and thought it necessary to stamp in the the title of the show.  Highlights of tonights episode are as follows: Top games of the week: Tottenham vs Everton Klopp conceding the Prem with 13 games left? Everton have city midweek then Liverpool this weekend, can they stay top 8? Players to highlight: Aubamayang (first hattrick this weekend) Bryan Reynolds (FC Dallas defender transferred for record fee) Neymar (injured at the wrong time again🤦🏽‍♂️ Top UCL games to watch out for: PSGxBARÇA (TOMORROW) Athletico x Chelsea (next week) Atalanta  x Real Madrid (next week) Rb Leipzig x Liverpool (all Liverpool has to play for) Sevilla x Dortmund (probably a good underrated game) Porto x Juve Lazio x Bayern City x Monchengladbach
