VfB Stuttgart Americana

Matt pops on to join Travis to talk VfB at Slovan and VfB at Mainz! As such, the guys chat up some wins, some losses, and some text strands, as they use their weekly in-game text strand to chat about the lineup, the players, and the result! Wrapping up the episode, Matt is way more optimistic than Travis regarding the upcoming week but that doesn't mean we don't learn about Matt's love...

It's the first episode of 2025 and Matt, Ted, and Travis talk about the first win of 2025, a gritty - if not pretty - win over Swabian neighbors FC Augsburg! Talking points include Demi's struggles, Deniz's comeback, Derek's food commentary, coming's and going's like Bruun and Franz, and finally, the upcoming Englische Woche as VfB hosts both RBL and SCF. We promised it would be a short episode as...

The winter break is upon us, which means it's time for our Holiday Hinrunde Review ... and who better to chat about the year that was - the year that is to come - than ESPN's very own Derek Rae! Derek joins the program to review last seasons' Champions League finish as well as the amazing summer of "VfB Deutschland" and then provides some context on how the fellas in the brustring are doing this s...

It's the semi-last episode of 2024 and the guys try to reign in their disappointment with the end of Hinrunde loss by breaking down the final match of 2024. In doing so, Matt, Ted, and Travis try to break the match down into "A's" - Arrogance, Anto & Anrie, Ata, Attack, and Attitude - and come away feeling disappointed. But in the end, we'll always have 2024 and the memories that came with it!...

It's episode 141 and the boys are giddy with excitement as the jungundwild have won three in a row over three different competitions to keep the good VfB times rolling! The guys chat Hugo Boss shirts, a UCL win over Young boys, and an expectedly tough match versus Swabian neighbors Heidenheim as well as answer questions regarding future additions, whether they think VfB will be going forward in bo...

It's episode 140 and it's a double-serving of VfB victories! Ted and Travis chat the Pokal win over Jahn and the come-from-behind victory over Union, a "get right" win and a much needed "mentality win" to hopefully start the jungundwild's holiday season on the right path! Along the way the fellas chat cakes, Pokal and Champions League money, benching Jeff, playing Yannik, Alex's mishaps, and, of c...

In episode 139 (part 2) the guys remember to hit the record button and chat (briefly) about Red Star and then dive into what's what with VfB and the offense, the defense, and the coaching as the club ends November on a rough run. But never fear, with December here, hope springs eternal, and the guys are hoping that with Jahn and Union on the docket that the jungundwild can get their act together a...

In episode 138, Hannes joins us to break down the last two home matches, matches, unfortunately, that didn't end the way the fellas had hoped. Part One is some shout outs to the Frauen who held on to extend their lead on the table while also explaining our Twitter embargo that we'll no doubt back down from in the coming weeks. Oh well. Part Two looks at two home matches in two weeks, where Fortres...

Doug and David join the pod to break down the recent Buli, Pokal, and Champions League matches!

Part two of our episode (because we stink at technology) covers some News & Q's - like exit clauses - as well as the upcoming matches against old foes Bayer and new foes Atalanta!

Part 1 of episode 136 dives into some shout outs celebrating the Frauen, the team shop, and boy howdy, three big wins in three big competitions over the course of what seemed like only three short days! The guys break down the big Champions League win over Juventus, the important Bundesliga win over a spirited Kiel, and the nervy win in the Pokal!

It's a short week so it's a short podcast as Matt and Travis try to talk about the good - VfB Deutschland - and the bad - VfB at Bayern.

Episode 134 has the guys talking the recent matches against Sparta and TSG ... both of which unfortunately - or fortunately - ended in draws!

In this episode, Matt and Travis race against the clock to talk about the match that happened - WOBVfB - and the matches that are about to happen - VfBACS and VfBTSG ... and the Champions League! Enjoy our shortest episode ever!

Whoa ... what a week! Ted and Travis chat the loss at Real and the win versus BVB. And, yes, a win versus some former VfB players as well. Ahem.

The international break is over and we know what you need! US! Or a big VfB win on the road! Or both. But mostly the win! Matt, Ted, and Travis are back to give some Shout Outs to the Frauen, VfBII, and the sweet, sweet, new Champions League kits! Part Two breaks down the win on the road with special attention given to the tale of two halves, the play of Deniz and Demi, the improving play of Anrie...

A feel good match followed by a head scratcher means we've got to call in extra support for episode 130, and that's just what we do as Hannes, Doug, and David help provide some hot takes on the week that was, ranging from who is going to play defense to who is going to play offense all the way to where is Silas going? Part One throws some Shout Outs to the Frauen, the team shop, and the ne...

In this episode Matt and Travis try to convince everyone EVERYTHING IS OKAY! Part One includes Shout Outs to the Frauen, the Team Shop, VfB2, and Highland Scotch. Part Two breaks down the match, a disappointing start to the season in which the guys wonder what was the biggest factor - the missing players, the lineup, the offense, or just simple mistakes. Part Three deals with some News & Q&#39...

It's a bonus episode and we chat the news of the day, namely, our former captain, one Waldemar Anton. Matt, Ted, and Travis attempt break the news down analytically and emotionally before trying to ponder what is the "Sebastian" factor in all of this and what, if anything, do players wearing the brustring owe those that support them? Along the way we open and close with a pretty cool...

It's our first ever summer episode and we apologize about so much ... our pre-season predictions, our new format, our ... well ... everything...

There's not time stamp because we don't know how to do one!

In one of our longest episodes to date, Matt, Ted, and Travis ramble on about one of single greatest seasons in memory!
