We do a brief touch on the WC opening and the fun that it is and the challenges for European fans with the timing of the games. Who would have thought that we both prefer to watch world cup games during the day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With special guest Luis from Porto. He talked with us about the Portuguese League, how it works, what the top teams are and some history, as well as cultural background on how Portugal manages to produce so much talent and how Porto manages to sell expensive players and still not have the budget of Madrid.

We talked about the struggle with German goalkeepers and ter Stegen's luck or lack thereof and got into the racist incident against Vini Jr. which needs condemning and the challenge of using his other behavior to justify the racism. Humans are complex and systemic oppression and racism are real and seeing it all and coming at it with compassion is all we got. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

In this episode we touch on our nemesis the video assistant referee, also called VAR. After seeing a whole stadium disappointed when a red card was given and a goal disallowed in a PL game between Liverpool and Man City it seems like we reached a new low. We looked at different angles, no pun intended, and it seems that the original hope that VAR would bring more fairness did not come to fruition...

In this episode we dive into the summer transfers and what strategy the different clubs do have or don't have. Munich is not really having one since Hoeneß left and Liverpool, Barça and Real doing their thing and overall transfers seem not to get the attention in Germany that they deserve.
