CLUBELEVEN

We're back!   After a few months of bus renovations and side quests, Justin, Gabe, Pablo, and Tyler return to kick off CLUBELEVEN's World Cup extravaganza: a cross-country bus trip, and boots on-the-ground photography coverage of just about every match.   This time we're joined by special guest Kyros, as we sit down on the eve of the tournament to chat our hopes and wishes for America's biggest so...

The biggest push for the soccer bus yet.   As The Boys of Summer blasts in Justin's headphones, he drives the still leaking bus from Orlando up to the Northeast for the busiest summer of our lives.   With the Open Cup rounds now happening further apart, we had a chance to dig into an even wider spectrum of American soccer. Some how, some way, the bus made it to the middle of Manhattan - pulling up...

The first road trip of the year.   This week's episode of the new CLUBELEVEN podcast spans spans quite literally the entire country.   Hear what it was like at Boston Legacy's first ever match in club existence, why Pablo was sticking his toes into a hand dryer up in Burlington during Vermont Green's upset of Portland Hearts of Pine in the Open Cup, and how we barely made it to Los Angeles to join...

A stolen laptop, a book of arrests, and a DIY investigation. Oh my!   Round 4 of the U.S. Open Cup was anything but straightforward. We returned back to Orlando with nothing but uncertainty ahead. Just as momentum was building, it felt as if the lifespan of the bus was shortening with each passing day.   Some how, some way though, the bus wouldn't be our biggest worry this round. In what can only...

We'll do it live! Welcome to the first edition of the new CLUBELEVEN podcast where Gabe, Justin, Pablo, and Tyler, chat about all the misadventures and side quests that come from documenting the American soccer landscape. In this week's update, Pablo and Gabe talk about guest lecturing a Soccer Politics class at the University of Virginia, Pablo shares jello shots with Manchester City fans in DC,...

Just as quickly as it began, this bus adventure may be crashing to an end.   For Round 3 of the U.S. Open Cup, we set our sights on another two-city stop: back-to-back matches in Louisville and Indianapolis. The only problem? The bus wasn't holding any oil. Like, at all.   Stranded in a funeral home parking lot in East Nashville, we're faced with a tough reality after a traveling mechanic delivers...

Florida here we come!   We're riding high after a successful first run with the soccer bus. After a stint up in North Carolina, we return home to the Sunshine State to prep for Round 2 of the Open Cup in Naples for FC Naples' third ever home match in club existence. If you'd believe it, hotels in Naples have plenty of bed bugs too.   Afterwards, we plan a weekend hang with a local film lab and beg...

The Soccer Bus finally hits the road. After an abbreviated planning and renovation period, the bus sets sail on it's maiden voyage. Charting a path from Orlando, FL up through the end of the Appalachian Mountains to North Carolina. This first trip was nothing short of ambitious. Especially considering we hadn't driven the bus more than 30 miles until now... 3 games in 3 days. That was the goal. Do...

The journey begins! Join us for a walk down memory lane as we recount the story of how we renovated a bus from Facebook Marketplace, traveled the world to produce a magazine, and ultimately decided to chase the Open Cup, all in the span of 3 months. Releasing weekly, The Soccer Odyssey Podcast is an 8-ish episode series documenting the highs and lows of driving our 1998 bus turned soccer museum 12...

12,000+ miles. A 1998 school bus. And a whole lot of soccer.   Join us (Gabe, Justin, Pablo, and Tyler) as we look back at the year that was for CLUBELEVEN. What began as a desire to put out a print magazine somehow ended in a campaign aptly title The Soccer Odyssey. A 140-page collectible magazine starring USMNT player Tim Weah followed by a bus tour for the ages.    From figuring out how to insu...
