Summer of Soccer - by Big Soccer Preview

We're back! And this week we get new leagues! Serie A and Bundesliga join the Big Soccer Preview Show family table. Adam and Jordan start by previewing Match Week 2 of the Premier League, with derbies galore and some controversy surrounding Manchester United. We look forward to Borussia Dortmund kicking off their title-chasing season in front of the Yellow Wall, and Christian Pulisic and Yunus Mus...

Welcome to version 2.0 of our little podcast project, the Big Soccer Preview Show. On the eve of the Premier League starting its 2023/24 season, Adam and Jordan (formerly of We Ate All the Pies fame) return to the studio and look ahead to the most important games you need to know about this weekend. We've got Women's World Cup, Eredivisie, La Liga and Chelsea-Liverpool drama. But first, we...

Only one man can help us wrap up this 2022-23 Barclays Premier League season correctly: everyone's favorite Fulham fan, Caleb! He's back this week to help Adam and Jordan break down the biggest overachievers and those teams that probably could have done better. They also dissect Manchester City's FA Cup win on their way to an almost certain treble. Hear the final thoughts of the year o...

Man, Adam and Jordan leave for one week and everything happens: Manchester City win their third-straight title, Arsenal's lack of finishing ability keeps Nottingham Forest in the Prem for another season, Chelsea are destined to finish lower in the table than Fulham (and Brentford!), Liverpool are forced into the Europa League, Manchester United are back amongst Europe's elite, and, yes, as...

If this is what happens to Premier League football on the Bank Holiday Monday after a king's coronation, bring on William! Seriously, this Premier League round of matches ended with a 21-goal day across three matches, and Adam and Jordan cover it all. Plus they relive the epic Newcastle-Arsenal clash, celebrate a famous West Ham win that also helps the Toon in their quest for 4th, and laugh an...

Grab your popcorn, lock away your daughters, and prepare your meat pie tributes: Big Sam Allardyce is back in the Premier League! The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived, and we have Leeds United to thank. Adam and Jordan discuss whether the big man can save Leeds from relegation or whether they are already preparing for life in the Championship. And since Big Sam thinks of h...

All is not well in the northern London boroughs. Adam and Jordan recap the weekend as Tottenham are reaching new heights of Totten.....hamness after a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle, followed by owner Daniel Levy's club statement admitting that he bears ultimate responsibility. And that's why he sacked his second manager of the season and we're onto number three. Meanwhile, Arsenal are watchi...

If you found yourself with that familiar sinking feeling this week, don't worry because you're not alone. After Arsenal's Anfield collapse against Liverpool, that feeling is hitting everyone hard: Man City are gonna bloody win this again, aren't they? Should that be the case, Adam and Jordan will be here with you, which upon typing out is not as much of a consolation as I had first...

Scott Parker, Bruno Lage, Jesse Marsch, Conte's gone, Thomas Tuchel, Hasenhuttl, Lampard and Gerrard; Graham Potter times 2, Nathan Jones, Rodgers too, Simon Cooper's on the block, HOW DOES MOYES STILL HAVE A JOB!?!? WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE! This week, Adam and Jordan sink their teeth into West Ham 1, Newcastle 5. They also cover a few other results, including City running rampant aga...

Just when you thought they couldn't possibly do it, Tottenham go full Spursy. Jordan and Adam are here to break down the Spurs meltdown ahead of a huge weekend in the Premier League. The climax to another season is upon us, and there's everything to play for. It's the closest relegation fight in recent memory with no fewer than 9 clubs involved in the scrap. The ultimate race for Champ...

Whelp, Mount Conte finally blew its top and may have taken Spurs' entire season with it. Adam and Jordan discuss Antonio Conte's epic, and surely managerial saga ending, rant following Tottenham's 3-3 draw against bottom of the table Southampton this weekend. How has he not been sacked by now? That's surely on the way, and yet on the flip side, Crystal Palace go full scorched earth...

We're back! Sorry to miss a week, but Adam and Jordan are here to recap it all in their natural, chaotic and impossible-to-be-scripted manner. This week starts with a look at the suddenly less glamorous fortunes of Manchester United as they absorb THAT result from Anfield and another red card for star man Casemiro. Then it's time to look at the tightening race for Europe and the Arsenal-Puma-Kit t...

This week, it's a League Cup recap special with Adam, Jordan, and mystery guest! Or probably more like "mystery" guest. Anyways, our "mystery" guest breaks down Manchester United's amazing run under Erik Ten Hag, capped off with the club's first trophy win. Jordan ponders if Newcastle have reached as high as they can in this current phase of the Saudi money influx. Adam revels in West Ham's sudden...

We at We Ate All the Pies are saddened by the passing of legendary football commentator John Motson. For Brits, he was the voice of BBC Match of the Day; for Americans, he was THE commentator for several editions of the FIFA video game series. But everyone will recognize his classic voice. We will all miss his exclamations and his comforting method of taking an audience through a match. But mostly...

Hey. Sorry it's been a while since the last episode. For time's sake, it was basically a combination of an ice apocalypse, being in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, and COVID. But everyone is back this week, and how things have changed! Since we last left you, Man City have now taken top spot in the Premier League. Adam, Caleb, and Jordan pour over the Arsenal-City fallout, and a discussion of Ci...

We're back! After a week off, Caleb, Jordan and Adam return to discuss whether Arsenal should be considered favorites for the Premier League title, now that they have seen off Tottenham and, courtesy of a late Nketiah goal, Man United. Frank Lampard lost El Sackio to West Ham (much to Adam's amusement) and has now....been sacked. Is this curtains for Everton in the Premier League? And how do these...

Is Graham Potter in trouble? Adam, Caleb, and Jordan discuss Chelsea's woes and whether the English manager needs more time in Todd Boehly's club or if the fans were right to be chanting Thomas Tuchel. They also wrap up an exciting FA Cup 3rd Round, celebrate Newcastle's march to win the League Cup (aka that Northern trophy), and look ahead to a weekend of derbies up and down the country: City-Uni...

This past week in the Premier League has brought out the worst (best?) in the league's moaning managers. Brentford's fantastic results brought Jurgen Klopp's new excuses out, Mikel Arteta's remonstrating brought the ire of media folk and Eddie Howe, and even Antonio Conte couldn't help but complain about the complainers after Spurs slumped to a defeat against Aston Villa. Adam, Caleb and Jordan di...

Football is BACK and it is better than ever for almost everyone. That list certainly does not include West Ham. Adam, Jordan, and Caleb watched Boxing Day unfold together and bring their thoughts to another great show. We discuss who had the best post-World Cup start and Cody Gakpo's new Merseyside adventure plus more potential January transfer madness. Adam rants about West Ham's terrible year (e...

The sporting spectacle that is the World Cup has come to a close, and you know what that means! In from the frigid cold, Adam, Jordan, and Caleb offer their thoughts on an epic World Cup Final, Lionel Messi's cemented legacy as the GOAT, and, most importantly, Salt Bae. And then it's time to break out the paper hats, boil those sprouts, heat up the mince pies, and pour yourself a nice pint, for th...

It all comes down to this: Argentina vs. France, Messi vs. Mbappe, Malbec vs. Bordeaux. Despite all the great underdog stories in this World Cup, it comes down to two countries with the most experience. Jordan has taken a much-needed night off, so it's Adam and Caleb to break down this epic tournament. They ask what this ultimate final stage means for Messi's career, discuss the fallout from the U...

Happy days are here again! It's Christmas time, the World Cup is in full swing, and the United States is into the Round of 16 thanks to Christian Pulisic's....painful sacrifice. Adam, Caleb, and Jordan are here to break it all down and celebrate this amazing time for U.S. Soccer. We also dive into the Americans' knockout round opponents the Netherlands, marvel at Australia's amazing tournament run...

Only four matches in and already there's so much to talk about in the 2022 World Cup. Adam, Caleb, and Jordan welcome Devan back to the podcast for some tactical analysis of the USA babies' 1-1 draw against Wales. They also dissect England's impressive 6-2 win over Iran, and the Netherlands' 2-0 win that was a bad reflection of Senegal who really, really, really miss Sadio Mane right now. And it's...

Welcome to CupCast 2022, home of We Ate All The Pies' World Cup coverage. The big midseason break has commenced, meaning Adam, Jordan, and Caleb have all contracted World Cup fever. So they go group-by-group and cover everything ahead of kickoff this Sunday, Nov. 20. What will a young USA squad do with England and Wales to contend with? Can champions France change the pattern (or Le Pattern, if yo...

Just like millions of Londoners who venture down to the south coast, Graham Potter learned the hard way what Seagulls do best: they steal your chips. We Ate All the Pies is back after a week off to recharge and prepare ourselves for the behemoth that is the winter World Cup over the horizon. But first, Adam, Caleb, and Jordan delve into Leeds stunning comeback at Anfield, Man United's top four cha...
