The Overlap

We have absolutely no idea who's going to get into the Champions League next season. Oh, also, we bring on another special guest to discuss the North London Derby.

As you can probably tell, this was not an easy episode to record. Barcelona are about to lose their La Liga crown...what a terrible year!

In Spain, there are three fundamental truths. 1) beautiful football is technically gifted football, 2) La Liga is the best league in the world and Messi is it's greatest ever player, and 3) the usage of VAR in the Mallorca vs Celta Vigo game was SHAMBOLIC. We go over all of the latest news from Spain and why Real Madrid are destined to be the best team in Spain for the next few years.

There's so much football to cover this past week that we almost couldn't decide where to start. But, then we realized we should probably talk about the Premier League this time around since...you know...there's an official champion there.

Now, the Premier League is back. It's almost like there's TOO much football to watch with La Liga, the Premier League, and Serie A coming back virtually every day between now and July. We go over the major topics to make your life a little easier.

We made it. FIFTY (50) episodes in less than a year. And La Liga is coming back this week? Finally, a sliver of good news.

The last few days and weeks have been rough for us, personally. But, one of the ways we've been able to get through them is with the power of tthe beautiful game. We have a lot to say this week both related and unrelated to European football.

The Bundesliga continues this weekend with the top teams in Germany all facing a tight battle for the Top 4 spots. Also, Rheon might have a crush on Kai Havertz.

The Bundesliga is back. Bayern is back. Dortmund is back. Leipzig is back. FOOTBALL IS BACK. That is all.

We don't know when all of our lives will go back to normal, but we DO know that at least one (!!!) European league will be returning to action next weekend. This week, we're giving an update on the rest of the European leagues with an interesting update from, yes, Belarus.

The title says it all. April 2013. Real Madrid traveled to Germany for the second time this Champions League campaign to take on Dortmund again. Dortmund, looking to have a foot in the Champions League final, put up a massive performance against Mourinho's side. We're joined by our friend Desmond to recap the game that put Robert Lewandowski in the fore front of everyone's mind.

This one is near and dear to us for obvious reasons. But, we remember this game VERY differently. Take a listen to what we had to say about the controversy surrounding this game at Stamford Bridge with another guest appearance from our friend Noah.

Set Scene: Brazil. Belgium. The 2018 World Cup Quarterfinal. Neymar vs Hazard. De Bruyne vs Coutinho. Thiago Silva vs Vincent Kompany. We talk about everything that went down during that game, including how this game shaped our view of the Belgian national team.

Episode 42: Premature Team of the Year (Spain) by Rheon Trim & Elyas Tecle

It's a crazy world we're living in. We're trying our best to keep things going, so here's our very premature TOY if the season IS actually over in England.

Let's take a look at the Top 7 race in Spain now especially since first place definitely IS up for grabs. We don't know who's going to be in the Champions League or Europa League next year from Spain, but listen in and you might be able to make an educated bet.

Let's take a look at the Top 7 race in England (especially since first place definitely isn't up for grabs). We don't know who's going to be in the Champions League or Europa League next year, but listen in and you might be able to make an educated bet.

Episode 38: Clasico Woes & VAR Theatrics by Rheon Trim & Elyas Tecle

Like we promised: Part 2.

We missed some time. So, why not make two podcasts? We split the Champions League Round of 16 ones into two podcasts. There's a LOT of content to get through.

Sorry for the delays, but we're back with a review of the last week or two in Spanish and English football. Oh also, found out how much Rudiger is worth to Rheon (hint: lint is mentioned).

This week, we go over some of the weird, yet entertaining, news in La Liga including Setien, Atleti's striker problems, and the Top 4 race. Over in England, Rheon stresses over Chelsea's need for points and previews another Pep vs Mourinho classic.

Today, we took a break from our soccer discussions to focus a brief period of our time on an individual that meant a lot to both of us growing up. From infamous "KOBE!" moments to wholesome moments with his family in the spotlight, Kobe epitomized the essence of what it was to be both a fierce competitor and a genuine human being; something we all strive to be. Rest In Peace, Black Mamba.

On the first episode of 2020, we discuss some of the news coming out of England and Spain. Oh, and if you couldn't tell, Elyas is excited that Barcelona have a new coach.

It's the end of the 2010's and we're looking back on what was, what could've been, and what should've been.
