  • Dan Lauletta needs to pack it up

    Bro is so out of his element talking about modern sports - if they had any editorial oversight, he would never have made it past week 1 as an on mic talent. incapable of analyzing games, hes a vibes only commenter akin to your parents on Facebook but masquerading as an astute soccer mind.

  • Dan Lauletta is a clown

    This guy has lots of opinions and they are - each and every one of them - based solely on the eye test. Dude tries covering a modern league like it’s still 2010 and all of his opinions come from YouTube. Crazy how he’s lasted this long in this space given his lack of knowledge about what’s actually happening in 2025 but hey, he can tell you all the goalkeepers in league from 2013 off the top so there’s that.
