Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast

The boys chat briefly about the English Premier League and Champions League for the first 22 minutes but get into a meaty discussion (22:28) with the young, bright, soccer aficionado Sammy Friedrich (D-1 soccer at Wofford) about the #USMNT, the outlook of US Soccer moving forward, and a bunch of random and fun stuff. Cool guy with a bright future.

 

 

The boys are back together again to briefly complain about USMNT (more on that next week), bemoan a few Premier League losses, celebrate a few Champions League wins, debate a topic no one has ever debated in the history of the game (Ronaldo vs. Messi), and talk about how cool soccer bars are in the United States (shoutout SpeakEZ Lounge in Grand Rapids). 

Scheduling conflicts forced the boys into an unconventional episode that split them up a little bit. First, Brad and Mike discuss Tottenham, Champions League, and some Premier League and then, Mike and Jimmy talk about Manchester United, Ajax, and a tiny bit of MLS. 

But the treat of the episode is an interview (@31:50) with long time Wolverhampton Wanderers fan, and co-founder of Wolves USA (@WWFCUSA), Chris Wood (@WWFCOHIO). He joins us to tell us what it's like to be a Wolves fan in America.

The boys needed three attempts to record this episode. Our first take was probably best so you are left with our scraps; of which you WILL enjoy. Or else. We still manage to cover Tottenham, ManU, Newcastle, Almiron, Arsenal, and Champions League in this abbreviated episode.

Please drop us a line on Twitter if you are getting any enjoyment out of this at all.

The boys bring on good friend Bryan Helder to talk about Liverpool. Bryan is new to the game, just like Mike, and gives us a unique perspective about a different team in the Premiere League. The boys wander through Championship League match-ups desperately pine for EPL games to start again.

Things get feisty on the poddy when the boys discuss Pochettino. We also dive into Champions League and play a little word association. Dig in fellas.

Welcome to the third episode of Rooster and the Devil. We talk Weah, top six in the EPL, MLS transgressions, relegation fight, and a lot more. Thanks for following along.

What's up soccer peoples? The audio quality has vastly improved on our podcast and will continue to do so. We discuss the current week in English Premier League, the USMNT January Camp, US players abroad, and other crap. Hope you like it. 

In the very first episode of Rooster and the Devil, we talk about how we fell into our love of English Premier League football even though we're from the soccer starved nation of the United States. Then we get into the problems of the United States Men's National Team, wander towards the post-Mourinho Man United, the injury depleted Spurs, and finish with some nice ranting. Is anybody listening?
