Episode 29: UEFA's Super League Is Formed by Rheon Trim & Elyas Tecle

We're back from our Thanksgiving holiday with our friends and family to bring you another episode of football discussion on Emery's sacking, where the top teams in England are at, and even a preview of the Euro's next year. (We'll get to more La Liga next week. We missed THAT much).

Well, Poch is out. But within 24 hours, not only was Pochettino fired, Mourinho was also hired. Is this a weird episode of Football Manager? Well, take a listen to our thoughts and our friend Desmond discuss where this leaves Spurs for the rest of the season and in the future.

On this week's podcast, Rheon and Elyas go over Champions League Matchday 4 from a few weeks ago with another special guest. Note: The International break isn't THAT boring, but we miss club football.

One of the biggest European match ups this weekend. There's no sugar coating it. It's gonna be big. Check out our preview now featuring a special guest!

Is it just us or are the top teams in Europe just not performing consistently this season? No? Just us? Well either way, this week we go over this past weekend's results including basically every top team in Europe dropping points in some capacity.

On this week's episode of The Overlap, we discuss the past two match days in Spain (this past weekend and midweek), the lack of an El Classico, and why, once again, Messi is the GOAT. Over on the Premier League side of things (43:11), we review Arsenal's defensive/captaincy woes, Spurs lack of..well...a team, and Leicester's thrashing of Southampton. And much, much more!

Man, it seems like every week the big teams are dropping points. This time around, Liverpool and Real Madrid drop major points in their respective leagues against Manchester United and Mallorca, respectively. Elyas and Rheon discuss which teams suffered the most this weekend and who were the winners from this past weekend.

We felt strongly enough to make a quick extra podcast about this. This time around we're talking some USMNT (or rather the lack there of) and the issues surrounding La Liga scheduling, specifically, the scheduling of El Clásico next weekend.
