  • Great overall off the cuff analysis

    Overall the podcast gives a good analysis of world soccer from the Yanks perspective without spending too much time on MLS/NWSL/USMNT news. I personally prefer a once or twice a week format. One suggestion however please change the opening music intro. It is horrible. Sounds like you combined a World Cup game and a funeral.
