Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast

The boys were still buzzing from the 1-0 win over Iran for this delicious episode of the World Cup Pop Up Pod, hosted by Rooster and the Villain.  Let's go beat those Dutch bastards!

The boys talk about recent fixtures, upcoming fixtures, the NISA playoff picture, and sound off on some rants (including USMNT).  Definitely earned the explicit tag on this one...

Bobcats kicking the shit out of the Flower Lads - Wivell - 7', Darwin - 54' 77', Boone 57' 58' Flower City's incredibly shitty Goal Differential Joseph Boone's performance Albion loss - 2 -1  Davey Fuckin' Mason's first goal Offsides bullshit NISA Table  Syracuse Pulse's surge. Only 4 points behind us for 3rd spot after Chatta win. Chatta Game How do we win this game? Upcoming Games Away at Pulse...

Regular Rooster and the Villain is back but we brought the Bobcast onto the show with Jake and his love of Seagulls. Plus we talk all about the rest of the Prem. Then a lot of USMNT. Get hype. 

The boys are joined by the Voice of the Bobcats, Adam Gotkin. We discuss the win over Nova FC in the NISA Independent Cup. The big win at home against California United. Then the loss away at Finley.

The Old Bae Brigade is back to discuss our chance of winning some hardware this weekend against a very talented Nova FC squad. Then we talk about all of the crazy shit going on in NISA right now.

Oh those Michigan Stars sure are assholes to play against. The Old Bae Brigade podcast crew grew by one Sam Nelson for this episode. Loved the new energy. Great episode about our beloved Maryland Bobcats.

The Old Bae Brigade talks about The MLS, El Paso Locomotive, and of course a heavy dose of our beloved Maryland Bobcats. Specifically; 3 points, aggressive, better possession. All around a better performance. #MichiganStarz #GeorgieJuncai #Majano #Amo #DaveyMason #Caulker #YellowCards #NISATable

We're happy to have Jay Saba, President and Co-Owner of the Maryland Bobcats on the show. We talk about Jay's history with soccer, the history of the club, the future of the club, and more. We also sneak a tiny bit of Prem talk in there as well

The Old Bae Brigade is back in the house with Knights Who Say NISA's Dan Creel. We discuss Dan's involvement with Knights and lower league soccer, break down the Syracuse game, and look ahead to the back-to-back against the big old bodies of Michigan. Thanks for tuning in!

It's here! We're dropping weekly episodes of the Maryland Bobcast for a while featuring members of the Maryland Bobcats FC Supporters Group, the Old Bae Brigade. This week's episode introduces the podcast to you all, gives some history of the Supporter's Group, and then breaks down the current state of the Maryland Bobcats. Hope you enjoy it!

Title race. Top 4. Everton safety. Relegation teams. A little Maryland Bobcats. And trees.

Jimmy and Mike catch up after a few beers on a Saturday night to discuss the latest in English soccer. 

Jimmy and Mike meet up via Skype until Jimmy abandons the pod because of a dead iPad. We also were giving a private show to one listener when we posted our Skype link on twitter. This person stayed on the whole time but didn't say a damn word. Either way, hope you like it!

Josh Hakala has been covering the US Open Cup since 2003.  At that time, he started USOpenCup.com (now thecup.us because USSF did a USSF thing) and provided coverage to a competition that has been in existence since 1914. A competition that has never truly peaked. A competition which Josh believes will continue to grow in popularity as US soccer becomes more prevalent in the world football landsca...

Dan Vaughn and the rest of the Protagonist Soccer crew are one of driving forces behind growing support in the lower leagues of the United States. They offer a voice for the under-covered and a platform for supporters of local soccer to gather information that is scarcely available elsewhere.  Dan started the site in 2018 and focuses Protagonist's attention towards covering 3rd Division and lower...

Jimmy and Mike bring back an old school episode for the diehard Rooster and the Villain fans out there. We do our usual boozin' and chatting. We take a deep dive on Aston Villa and Tottenham, and then skirt around the Prem a bit. Hope you enjoy it Heldy baby.

The more I talk about soccer, the more I want to talk about soccer. Every soccer journey in America is different and they're all interesting to me. But I had a particularly fun time talking with Craig about his personal soccer journey. Craig moved to the US from England in the early 1990s, when he was about 10 years old. His dad was a diehard Aston Villa supporter (and they lived very close to Vil...

We were so excited to have Alex Kao on the show. Alex has had an amazing soccer journey.  He was born in Togo on Africa's West Coast and lived there until he was 9. Then he moved to France and joined the Red Star 93 academy around age 12. After that, he was recruited by Paris FC and joined their academy until it was time to make a tough decision about his career. Life led him to be recruited by a...

I had the pleasure of chatting with Adam Gotkin, who is currently a Senior at Quince Orchard High School, and is the voice of the Maryland Bobcats. Adam has known that he has wanted to be in Sports Broadcasting/Journalism since he was a young child. At such a young age, he already has experience starting his own High School Sports broadcasting network (Quince Orchard Sports Network), calling games...

The trifecta is back, baby! The boys getting into everything we've missed since we last chatted soccer. I also predict West Ham regressing to the mean and then they go out and beat Chelsea.

I caught up with Alex, the fearless leader of The Old Bae Brigade, which is the Supporters Group for the Maryland Bobcats of the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA). Alex and I talk through the problems with Soccer in the United States, USMNT, lower league soccer, Detroit City's acrimonious split with NISA, the lack of support at the Soccerplex for the Bobcats, building a soccer audienc...

The holy trinity returns in this glorious episode of Rooster and the Villain. We talk mostly Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa but pepper in a little bit of everything from the Prem. Enjoy!

The Rooster and the Villain are back at it. Discussing Euro 2020 because it's been epic. We also delve into MLS, NISA Independent Cup, Gold Cup, Copa, Tottenham and Villa, and more. Fun little convo.
