We take turns answering your listener questions, including... 1) If Man City were deducted every point they have gotten this season and had to start today with 0 points, could they stay up? 2) How would you fix the Club World Cup if you were in charge? 3) Would an Over-32 world best XI beat a U-19 best XI? Where would the two teams place in the Top five leagues?  4) What impact will the incoming rules on agent fees have? Will this help clubs who are currently having financial difficulties or is it simply going to inflate transfer fees? 5) What is the Court of Arbitration for Sport? How did it start? Is it an actual court or do all sports teams just agree to abide by their rulings in order to avoid complete and utter anarchy? 6) I want to support an EPL club, but I don't know which team to back.

Prior to last weekend's match against Manchester City, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp discussed his club's ability to compete financially with some of the richest clubs on the planet. He responded that, "there are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially" and agreed with the idea that there is no ceiling to what those clubs are able to spend. Was he correct in his assessment? What do we make of the claims of xenophobia that came from Man City in response? Are oil-rich clubs warping modern football? We get into those and many other questions! -- SPONSORS! Today's show is brought to you by... Helix Sleep!

On this week's episode of The Big Thing, Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to get to the bottom of a major talking point in Italian football: what's wrong with Juventus? After disappointing seasons under Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo, Max Allegri returned to take charge in the summer of 2021, and led the team to a resounding… 4th place finish. This season, Juventus is 8th in the table after 7 games, and they've managed zero points from their opening games of the Champions League. Manager Max Allegri remains in charge, but all is not right with The Old Lady. So, what’s gone wrong, what can be fixed, and what needs to change? Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by...

On today's episode, we (but specifically Joe) take a long look at the US women's national team ahead of the start of the 2022 Concacaf W Championship, which could see the United States qualify for both the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympics. How have head coach Vlatko Andonovski's tactics evolved from the 2020 Olympics, which major names will miss this tournament, and which youngsters are poised to break out this summer? We also break down the 23-player roster, position by position, and try to determine the most likely starting eleven (and how that eleven will handle the numerous defensive blocks we can expect in the group stage).

On today's episode, your four co-hosts tackle a whole bunch of listener questions, including... 1) What soccer hybrid sport would the USMNT have the best chance of winning at the respective world cup? Footgolf, kickball, etc 2) Ryan listened to "Three Lions" before every England game last summer, and that begs the question: during USMNT World Cup Qualifying, what would your pre-game song be? 3) What are the benefits to having relegation as part of the soccer ecosystem? 4) Is Thomas Muller the most underrated player of his generation? 5) Why are there so few Serie A teams in Southern Italy? Are there any other regions in Europe with very little top flight soccer? 6) Which member of the Concacaf Caribbean Football Union would make the USMNT if they were annexed by, I assume, US Soccer? 7) What shirt sponsors have aesthetically ruined the kit they sponsor? 8) Graham's recommendations for how to enjoy a match (and overall holiday) in Scotland.

With another set of World Cup Qualifiers in the books for the U.S., Taylor, Graham, and Joe combine to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various players in the USMNT pool.  In the first segment, we analyze Josh Sargent and Gyasi Zardes. What’s holding Sargent back from scoring more goals? And does Zardes fit in the USMNT’s 4-3-3 shape? In the second segment, we discuss Christian Pulisic and Antonee Robinson. How do we tell when Pulisic is back in form? And what needs to improve in Robinson’s game? Finally, in segment three, we dive into Yunus Musah and Tyler Adams. How does Musah take his game to the next level? And can Tyler Adams be more purposeful with his passing? All that - and more - on the show.  Sponsors! Today's episode is brought to you by...

Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to look back at some of the best and worst business done in the January transfer window! We start off with Barcelona somehow bringing in loads of talent on a limited budget, and then take a look at Newcastle (who sort of did the opposite). Plus, clear-outs at Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs, smart signings for Liverpool, Villa and City, and roughly 274 Americans were on the move: which ones will have the biggest impact? All that plus Rangers, Juventus and Bournemouth (obviously). Sponsors! Today’s show is brought to you by… DIRECTV!

Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to discuss all the biggest results from this past weekend. Up first, we go deep on the Premier League, with particular attention going to Chelsea's 2-0 win over Tottenham, which featured tactical adjustments for both teams, an incredible goal from Ziyech, and a thankless performance from Harry Kane. After that, it's a Continental Round-Up, featuring a what-could-have-been draw between Milan and Juventus, a hard-fought win for Atletico, and a non-aggression pact between Real Madrid and Barcelona. And finally, we discuss the first two knockout round AFCON games. Congrats to Tunisia and Burkina-Faso, and thanks to the latter for an opportunity to diagram some penalties! Sponsors!

Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to discuss the latest events in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations. Group A - Cameroon tops the group in convincing (but also sort of unconvincing?) fashion Group B - Senegal still only has one goal thus far, so naturally we think there's a chance they end up winning the whole thing. Or, at least, Ryan does! Plus, big (literally) numbers for Malawi and perfect kits for Zimbabwe. Group C - Ghana in need of a rebuild, Gabon not in need of their most famous player, and Achraf Hakimi is very very good. Group D - Nigeria looking strooooong while Egypt are mostly just looking for Salah. Group E - The most delicately positioned group: all four can advance, all four can potentially crash out. But only Sierra Leone has garnered Graham's undying loyalty. Group F - Ryan ensures that someone from this group will end up as your 2022 AFCON Champions! Sponsors!

On this Monday’s Weekend Review, Ryan, Taylor and Graham take a look back on the biggest games from Europe! Manchester United's visit to Tottenham was billed as a face-off between two managers facing the sack—and that billing certainly came to pass when Nuno was relieved of his duties. Elsewhere, Man City suffered at the hands of Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace, Roma fell to 10-man Milan, and Barcelona haven't quite ironed out the kinks in the post-Koeman era. Sponsors!

You can find the full list of questions down below: 1) Who is a player that we feel is ready for a new challenge at the club level? And on the flip side, who is a player that we think could benefit from going down a level? 2) What are your power rankings for top three U.S. field players to play in goal if all goalkeepers suddenly ceased to exist? 3) What is the U.S.’s plan B/C at the 6? And what are the other most daunting drops from the best XI to the backups? 4) Other than each other's podcasts, what are some of our favorite pieces of USMNT content out there? 5) If we could hire one soccer pundit/writer/analyst/pontificator for Gregg Berhalter's staff, who would it be and why? 6) What are Mexico's goals when they have the ball and which of their players do they try to accomplish them with? 7) When GGG was first appointed, he said he wanted to create pressure through possession. To what degree has the team achieved this goal? And has the USMNT improved tactically since the Gold Cup Final win over Mexico? 8) Excluding playing Mexico at the Azteca, which upcoming USMNT World Cup Qualifier gives us the most heartburn?  Sponsors!

In England, all or nearly all of their home matches are at Wembley.
