1. Missed the mark - Gab and Jules show used to be one of my favorites. But recently they have started missing the mark on some serious issues (women’s rights, racism, sexism). The story on Hakimi sent me to write the review. No talk of how the alleged victim could be and glossing over the fact that “he is likely to play” I guess this is the type of perspective you get from a supporter of the club owned by Qatar. Really disappointing. Please don’t excuse the omission by saying we are a sports podcast, because you brought up the charges so own it.
2023-03-08
2. Separate the podcasts! - Now that Gab and Juls have a separate podcast, please take them off this feed. I have to mark those episodes as played to get them out of the way. Futbol Americas should also be separated out and taken off this stream. As for the regular gang, I like Shaka, Ale, Dan, Kay, Craig, and (most of the time) cranky uncle Steve. They have great chemistry. But this podcast is bogged down by those other shows.

3. Reyna/Berhalter fracasso… - The focus of ESPN FC seems to be to entertain listeners with extreme opinions and locker room humor; guffaws and howls of “laughter “ abound in the “old boy” atmosphere. The pundits are knowledgeable and experienced, so when they decide to calm down and actually critique games and predict outcomes, their discussions are worth hearing. For that episode, Burnley decided to make up details to prove his point, saying that Reyna was creating problems at meals, when no such information had been their provided. Then, he chose hyperbole as his avenue of attacking US players and pundits, stating that Herc and Seb would make a story about Pulisic’s toenails their lead story for days, implying that the USMNT is not important and those two young men are not proper pundits and not important commentators. Tiresome man when he’s on a toot.

4. Please Reign Ale In - I like Ale Morena in the sense that he seems like a nice guy, but he’s way too over the top. Every time he speaks it’s like he’s trying to put on a performance with sing song speech, builds and swells in his voice, hyperbole like he’s talking to a little kid. Once in a while ok but everytime he speaks, it’s just too much and I’m sooo not alone here. it’s just grading after a while. Can’t he just reign it in a bit? Like I said he seems like a nice guy but I really can’t even listen everytime he’s on
2022-10-28
5. Leave the politics out - One show is occasionally tolerable with some old football players talking and laughing too much. One of the commentators clearly doesn’t like anybody and would prefer Venezuela. He uses his Spanish pronunciation like a weapon. Then, you have another show where the English -Irish -Scottish problems haven’t been settled yet. According to one commentator, Tory MP’s are not allowed to celebrate England’s success because they aren’t woke enough. Leave it!
2022-08-04
6. Premier League Nepotism at its finest - Don’t listen to these podcasts unless you’re a premier league fan because they do nothing but disrespect and belittle other leagues throughout. They have specific episodes they’ll talk about Italy, Germany, Spain, etc. and these episodes are even worse. Disrespectful, arrogant, and uneducated is the best way to describe this steaming pot or premier league ego they call a podcast.
2022-06-25
7. Too many shows - I listen to espn fc and I go to the caught offside page to listen to theirs. Not listening to the gab and juls pod, Futbol americas, and now not listening to laughter permitted. Also never wanted to listen to serie awesome but that’s gone now. Why put all these to be downloaded on my phone? I’m just deleting all of them.
2022-05-04
8. Racism (comes in all colours) - However it seems the hosts of all these shows believe the only racism in the world comes from white individuals in Europe or North America. Let’s be real, racism is everywhere and to proclaim it to be just from one race is true racism. Thanks ESPN for showing your racist base. Thanks but no thanks to listen to you anymore. Your former Malaysian, Hindu based fan
2022-03-17
9. Ugh - Ogden referring to Salah as “Liverpool's Taliban” was a bit OTT. Jobs for the boys. ESPN FC is among the worst podcasts of any ilk I have ever listened to. Total car crash, which is why I still listen. Jobs for the boys. First off, Thomas is pleasant and a good host, but thinks he’s a comedian. The pundits, mainly ex-pros are appalling. Stevie is the drunk uncle in the corner. Just ignore, don’t wake him up. Onuaha started off well, but now he’s fully embedded his ridiculous Citeh bias is unlistenable. Don is daft. Sorry, LeBoeuf’s English isn’t good enough. Unintelligible. But Burley is the worst, similarly unintelligible, being Scottish and toothless doesn’t help. I love he uses words he doesn’t quite know the meaning off. God loves a trier. Quite hilarious. Someone needs to shut him up ; he thinks his rants are cutting to the core of a topic. A, they are always off topic and inane and , he sounds like a mentally ill person on a subway platform. Kay Murray is great. As are Gab and Sid, and Shaka is good too. Less idiot ex-pros, more intelligent analysis. And fyi no one cares about La Liga. Facts. Truth.
2022-03-14
10. Good Pod, needs better managing - First off, why do they try and put all of espn fc’s podcasts in one instead of post them separately? Do one or the other. Second, the pundits are good but can sometimes get off topic. I love Craig (and his grumpiness) but sometimes he flat out refuses to contribute, what is the point of having him when he does that? Someone needs to tell them to stay focused. It’d be great if they had some more recent ex pros as well. Why not have Del Piero on more frequently? What about some recently-retired players like Lampard, Kaka, or Brazilian Ronaldo? Just a thought. Also, what happened to serie awesome? I loved that pod. Not sure why you stopped focusing on the Italian league, especially when it just got very competitive this year. Overall, the show is a good idea, execution could be much better. They really need to stop posting Football Americas and Gab & Jules under ESPN FC. They are different shows.
2022-03-08
11. Hate/Love - It is hard to review ESPN FC because it is so many pods. I always listen to Gab & Jules, and often to Caught Offside. I give them -stars.
I loved Kaye M. on Bein, but have not listened because have not watched any Serie A this season.
The other ones, I like Dan Thomas, who is whitty, and Adrian is pleasant when he subs. The Scots infuriate me because I am a Spurs fan: their only discussions about Spurs concern when Kane should leave, or why Poch is a loser. I like Shaka, perhaps because he did not play for Liverpool or Chelsea, but mostly because he has an amusing personality, like the Lakers commentator Mychal Thompsen, easy to like.
I do not understand the anti-Spurs bias on the main show and by the American duo, to whom I will never listen again.
The main show and the US are star. I would never given a negative review to Kaye M. because she is smart and delightful.
2022-01-04
12. Limited Scope and Knowledge - Guaranteed to spend more time talking about the big plus Bayern, RM, FCB, PSG and Juventus - often for days on end - then covering the sport. Maybe Burnley or Brentford are not the biggest clubs in the world but if you want to subvert the seemingly unstoppable roll of the money train, you have to stop talking so much about those clubs. Here’s a thought: cover the entire league brain.
2021-12-30
13. ...... - I have listened to this podcast for years and for the most part I have enjoyed it. But the last year or more it's unbearable to listen to all the arguing and complaining. I have no idea why Craig Burley is on this show. He does nothing but complain and whine about every question that is asked of him. The other guests on the show have to constantly try and cover for his bad attitude by trying to make a joke out of it. It's very awkward to listen too and I feel bad for kay and Dan trying to run the show. Get rid of him.

Comments
1. A peek inside Chris Richard’s - What an marvelous look at the life story of Chris Richard’s. Sitting on the back porch and telling tales of an amazingly delightful twists of faith. And so much more to come for the young man.
Thank you ROG an enthusiastic ambassador and superb conversationalist. No gutter language. A delight of Art
2023-03-22
2. Plays well with others - Rog alone is wonderful and maybe the hardest-working and most committed podcaster I’ve come across! And, for me personally, only when the guys are together and playing off each other is it “must-listen”. As expert analysis as I’ve come across. Very smart conversation. Wide range of topic and coverage. Hugely and dryly witty. Could sit and listen to these gents all day.
2023-01-09
3. Sad episode - I hate all of this, but appreciate the insight. I don’t think Gregg can come back, but I also believe the Reyna’s have no place in our soccer future. If the Reyna’s cared outside of their nepotistic interests, they would have raised concerns years before. Domestic violence is abhorrent and has no place in our world, and self-serving parents who overlook missteps until they’re convenient look just as bad. Reyna should never play for the US again, his dad should be let go from MLS, and Gregg needs to walk away.
2023-01-05
4. Love these Guys and Highly recommend them to you too - Ron and Dave are the best. Come for the football analysis. Stay for the trans-Atlantic cultural exchange and surprising humanity they deliver along with their sports talk. Helps to be a world football fan or at least soccer curious but these guys transcend sport and listening to their podcasts feels a lot more like having a laugh with your English mates. Enjoy!
2022-11-14
5. C'mon! Jump into the deep end - I'm a man of a certain age who grew up idolizing the greats of s & s baseball: Mays, Aaron, Flood, Kuenn. Devoured the stats on the back of playing cards. Knew the utility infielders of teams in the Junior Circuit my NL team rarely played. And I played soccer. But I didn't have access to professional soccer games. There were no playing cards, no This Week in Soccer, no Match of the Week, no television coverage at all, and so I was not steeped in the tales, the folklore, the mythology of The Beautiful Game. Then along come these two bald, British ex-pats, the Men in Blazers. Not only do their podcasts provide insight into current games, they regaie listeners with tales and anecdotes of players and momentous games of ages past. They make you laugh, they expose the ugly side of the game (FIFA, UEFA, apartments for cats), and they share their exuberant love of the sport all the while eschewing hyperbole (sorta). So if you are new to soccer, if you're soccer curious, pick a Premier League team, listen to the torrent of podcasts, read the newsletters, and get hooked. Soon you'll be riding your bike, pre-dawn on a Saturday morning, soccer trading cards snapping against the spokes, to a local pub for your weekly fix of SOCK-kah! Just fast forward through the ads.
2022-10-18
6. Disappointed in the xenophobia behavior towards Todd Boehly - I usually rate men in blazers very highly, but after their last show I was stupefied. Their rhetoric on Todd Boehly was largely fueled and/or spoon fed to them by the likes of Gary Neville and Sky Sports. I’m extremely disappointed in Rog’s ability to entertain new ideas.
2022-09-16
7. Not just soccer. - You don’t have to be a soccer fan to enjoy this podcast. This podcast actually might make you a soccer fan. These two are super entertaining and you’ll find you might be looking them up elsewhere and becoming a “GFOP”. Funny, informative and interesting oh and did I say funny?
2022-09-08
8. Almost my favorite podcast - Their suboptimal musings on football are easy on the ears :-) Rog and Davo provide much needed historical context on the European game along with an interesting and hilarious point of view. An added bonus is I’m beginning to understand the many different English accents much better after a few years of exposure to these guys, their guests and the announcers for various leagues across the pond. Love it, keep going! Courage
2022-09-03
9. Sub-optimal crap you must have - For all Yankees who are fans of the premier league, if you watch the games and follow the action but DO NOT listen to Rog and Davo, you must be the kind of person who doesn’t wipe after a proper (you know what). You haven’t finished the job and you are going to turn off the rest of us. (You also probably support Spurs). Do us all a favor. Finish the job and make yourself tolerable around the rest of us. Courage.
2022-08-27
10. Faux moral high ground - Rog rightfully takes a strong moral position when fans of other clubs do awful things. Whether it’s yelling racist stuff at players or violence. However, when Everton fans were yelling racist slurs at Ivan Toney it was crickets. The lack of moral objectivity has made me view MIB through a different lens and I don’t enjoy listening anymore. You can’t be outspoken about the behaviour of every fanbase except your own.
2022-08-24
11. stars but… - … I think that your producer re-pasted the interview of Matt Turner in the place of the EPL first weekend pod. As an Arsenal supporter… we PROBABLY NEED two Matt Turners in goal at the same time this year —so it’s welcomed. Nevertheless I think the rest of the apple pod WGFOP would be lacking. Courage
2022-08-09
12. Grace and humanity in the sporting world! - Rog and Dave, You bring a humanity and intelligence to the discussion of sports. Your love for each other and your respect for the humanity of the players you cover elevates the joy of football beyond the typical macho critique of sports that is so common today. My wife and son can dive into your podcasts and enjoy an intelligent and passionate celebration of the game we love as a family. Every : am alarm to catch a Manchester United kickoff links us with Chelsea, Liverpool and even Everton fans who eagerly await the drama of each game. Thanks for articulating that experience for us all. Courage. Joe Hufferd

Join Max, Barry and special guests as they pick over the latest action from the Premier League and beyond

Comments
1. Bandwagon Barry - …allegedly refused to appear on the pod on March and allegedly spent the better part of a week fiercely lobbying to grab a spot on a revised MOTD. The Drunken Sot has never hidden his complete loathing of Gary Lineker. The Drunken Sot worked his every contact in the Conservative Party and at Downing and the BBC in a vicious effort to skewer Lineker and nab a six-figure propaganda spot for himself on MOTD.
2023-03-17
2. Disingenuous - I like this podcast for its football content, I hate this podcast for it’s disingenuous continued criticism of Newcastle Fans. We didn’t pick our owners, we didn’t authorize the purchase. We won’t be forced to walk away the club we love. The Max Rushden continued criticism now smacks of jealousy.
2023-02-01
3. More Shireen Ahmed - I loved hearing Shireen Ahmed in the podcast as I am a fan of hers from Burn it All Down. Please, please do add her to the regular rotation of guests so she has a chance to talk about both “just football” and the social issues. Also (and I’m an American) please do spend just as much time talking about human rights abuses here as you did Qatar. Possible topics: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Canada, child migrants locked-up in the United States, and femicide in Mexico. I promise there is plenty to talk about here and I would love for these issues to be highlighted as part of the World Cup coverage.
2022-12-17
4. Terrible and biased - I wish I can truly understand why you guys always hate Portugal. I don’t know if it’s racism or what it is but the start of the podcast and see it would’ve been glorious. If the governor guy would’ve scored the goal and tied against Portugal what’s so glorious about that to you? Do you just want to see us lose every single time? What do you hate about Portugal, what is it about you British that hate Portugal so much terrible podcast will never listen or suggest to anyone ever again. I hope you all are fired by the next week.
2022-11-25
5. Inspiration to boycott - I’ve listened to this podcast for well over a decade and it continues to entertain, inform, and inspire me. In particular, it’s willingness to engage critically with the social issues related to football has inspired me to question my complicity in egregious/problematic goings-on. For that reason, I have decided to boycott the the World Cup as a viewer, which I realize will have no grand effect on the matter but I’ve decided that is where I wish to deploy my “stubborn ounces.” Thank you Football Weekly for giving we the knowledge and insight to make an informed decision. Keep up the great work!
2022-11-16
6. Max is not an unbiased host - He is a Spurs fan and takes delight in Arsenal losing. He also enjoys sly little digs when Arsenal lose.
Most recently after Arsenal controversially lost to Manchester United.
If you enjoy people making fun of Arsenal, great.
I don't think a presenter should behave that way.
If you want a general football podcast that deserves to be under a broadsheet name like the Guardian with some objective discussion, you are in the wrong place.
Other wise the rest of them are often fun, its just the bad taste left in the mouth by the host
2022-09-08
7. A new podcast - I understand that the panelists think that talking so often about matters off the pitch is important. There are plenty of other more qualified people to podcast about world events. After listening to this podcast for years I have finally unsubscribed because I come to football weekly for a respite from the perils of society. Being constantly reminded of the “evils” of uncontrollable world events has taken the shine away from this podcast. Sincerely suggest that they start a once a week podcast called “another things related to football (weekly)”
2022-03-08
8. Love Max/Barry, But Time for Me to Move On - I’ve loved the pod for many years and was one of the few that welcomed Max when Jimbo moved on, but the bias and favoritism that’s penetrated broader football coverage has gotten to the pod as well. I get that there are legitimate concerns about the administration and ownership of football, but to openly ridicule and only cover individual clubs and their supporters in negative light is just exhaustive. These guys make a living reporting on football - enjoy it for what it is or find something else to do. Time to move past the negativity and hate.
2021-11-30
9. Maybe the Best Podcast in the World…? - Maybe. Maybe not. Either way; I look forward to this podcast everyday. I’ve been a football fanatic for years (I’m ; can’t remember when I started actually liking football, feels like I was just ‘born with it’, like those models who advertise for Mabeline), and thoroughly enjoy this series of podcasts. I used to listen to TalkSPORT a lot (and still do; as arrogant as he is, there’s nothing like a good digging from Simon Jordan on an effort that he’s not only right about, but also an expert on), but this is my favorite football digital media platform. Keep it up lads! Would love to have a pint with Barry one day, but I live in Miami, so that probably won’t happen. Max, hope you’re enjoying Sydney. It’s a helluva city.
2021-11-17
10. Too much Ronaldo slander! - Love Barry, but it sounds like Ronaldo must’ve refused to give Johnathan Wilson his autograph when he was a kid or something. As a Man U fan, please get someone who is actually positive about Rondaldo coming back (like majority of Man U fans) because wilson is a serious downer!
2021-09-09
11. Good but going downhill - Used to be one of my favorite podcasts but it’s honesty one of the worst options now out of all the regular football podcasts. The constant woke/leftist talking points just get tiring after how much time they spend on it. Guests like Lars and Wilson are great but Barry Glenndenning is just the most boring miserable person imaginable to have on a podcast, he’s so uninformed.
2021-09-04
12. Poignant Euros coverage - I looked forward to the daily updates during the Euros. The mix of characters and the method of presenting the details of a match are perfect. Max does such a nice job of moderating the pod and Barry's curmudgeonly character is a perfect balance. I often laugh out loud when listening to the pod. The coverage of the Euro final was outstanding, capped by the outtake music mix of Barry telling everyone to Have a Great Day in a way only Barry can do.
2021-07-12
13. Fun story - Hello guys, I’m Garry from NYC, listening to your pod since I started podcasts and I absolutely love it! So I was doing uber at a time maybe about a year ago, I had this one rider who happened to listen to the pod with me on the ride. At some point, about ten minutes later he said “Why this guy’s voice so weird and annoying?”, referring to Barry’s voice “How can you listen to this and what are they even talking about?”. I replied was, “Well that’s not right you commenting like that, but anyways that’s your morals. I would listen to this British guy who’s voice might be unique but not weird, and how they see and think about football which you for some reason call soccer, rather than everyday conversations with abundance of word “like”, “literally” phrase “you know what I mean”. He got a bit mad, but then we got stuck in traffic and he wanted to walk couple of blocks, and as he was getting out of car I said to him “Cheers mate” with all my English accent, he got me a one star after that! But it was fun chat. Anyways, thank you guys for your great effort and all the best for the pod, cheers!!
2021-07-03
14. Tiring - When they do talk football, it’s not half bad. But they subject you to a tiring anti-racism diatribe each episode. Okay … we know there are racists in the world and you are opposed to racism. We understand. We get it. We are too. Now please stop the pedantic scolding, the moralizing, and the lectures. It’s pointless — maybe even counterproductive — and extraordinarily dull listening.
2021-07-01
15. Football pod for people who don’t like football - Stopped listening to this pod for a while. Despite Max being a decent host so many of the guests show only a passing interest or enjoyment for the game. Drawn back in by the need for more Euro content I came back and if anything it’s got worst. Barry is barely coherent - possibly drunk; and the show rambles along skimming the surface without insight or interest. Makes football less enjoyable
2021-06-29
16. It’s okay. - Upon the Totally Football Show breaking off, this pod lost its top talent. It’s fine and fills the need for content well enough, but definitely second tier: what the Premier League would be left like if the European Super League had gone through. The “Barry is a curmudgeon!” shtick gets very old very fast. But all around, okay.
2021-05-06
17. Clown show - This is every thing that’s wrong with modern sports commentary. Just lazy uniformed takes over and over. Every single one of these clowns would be absolutely lost if you put them on the touch line. Wouldn’t know the difference between an X and an O if they had printed out instructions
2021-03-09
18. Love from Minnesota - Started listening in early and haven’t missed an episode yet! I wasn’t sure what to expect when football stopped for a period of time this year but you all still delivered great content. Loved hearing about the presenter’s backgrounds. I routinely find myself busting up laughing while listening - the best yet was shoveling a foot of snow while listening to the Xmas eve show. Barry was giving a heartfelt send off when he went silent. I thought he was crying which almost made me cry. Turned out he actually had his hand over the mic. So hilarious and perfect! My fav podcast hands down!
2021-01-02
19. Barry is a clown of pundit - listening to the analysis about Manchester United is painful. After of the most exciting matches in recent history, first time theyve scored goals since Fergies retirment, there is not ONE peice of analysis from the MU perspective, literally all Barry can come up with from his Scourser pee-brain head is to say “Ole doesnt deserve the praise hes getting on MOTD”, and goes on to list all the bad results United have had previously this season, as if those results any relevance to the match he's being paid currently talking about. and he goes on to say: “because Ole’s going up against a Leeds team with less resources, and that MU should be swatting aside teams like that” hmmm... how about when Leeds played Liverpool earlier in the year and is was - on a last minute goal? surely the champions have more resources than a newly promoted side?? If the Guardian are reading this please fire these jokes of pundits and hire someone who can give actual unbiased analysis of the football being played.

Comments
1. Pathetic little gambling podcast - you think you’re listening to a football show and then they start talking about betting lines in these smooth transitions so you barely notice they’re actually talking to you about gambling. it’s pathetic. find writers and podcasters you can trust and follow them. don’t listen to this garbage that is just here to facilitate a gambling partnership.
2023-02-10
2. For the athletic, this pod is really really poor…. - The level of analysis is so lazy and so poor it’s really not what you would expect from the Athletic. The best quality of the athletic is that you have experts talking about teams they know…. These guys are absolutely clueless. They rely on headlines and cliches to get them through the pod cause they simply don’t enough about the game or the premier league. It’s truly shocking how bad these guys are. If I want to know about a specific team, I’ll look up the guys who cover them for the athletic. Not listen to these guys guessing and coming to absurd assumptions based on headlines they’ve read from the sun and daily mail lol do better It’s as if the word nuanced doesn’t exist in England. Every statement and argument is black or white. A team wins a match and they’re the best team in the world, they lose the next non and you guys are talking about a “crisis at the club”. It’s not just the athletic either, it’s the problem with all UK outlets.
2023-01-25
3. Premier League or Top ? - These guys act like Man City, Man United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are the only teams in the league. There are countless other stories and clubs you could mix in for some conversation. Unfortunately it’s just like every other podcast or show. Same takes on the same topics regurgitated over and over. Hard pass
2022-07-04
4. Gambling ad disguised as podcast - This podcast is riddled with betting odds, bookie specials, gambling tips woven through the content which is obviously taylored to accomodate these endless gambling promotions. Then every episode an expert who happens to be fully employed by the gambling industry quickly tosses out some worthless facts before delivering the real content - upcoming odds and special for the weekend games. A billion dollar industry trying every trick in the book to pray on the weak and vulnerable. Unsubscribe. They took the dirty money, they have no autonomy over content. It's a gambling marketing podcast and always will be.
2021-08-18
5. Not a football podcast - Dan Bardell asked for a review, so here it is. This is not a football podcast, it is a gambling podcast. They way the “commentators” shill for the horrible gambling industry is unconscionable. And what they offer as analysis is shockingly bad (evidenced by their preview of the - season) until you remember they are shilling for bookies who make more money when people take bad advice and make stupid bets. unsubscribed
2021-08-15
6. Mr. Ornstein - Can you please tell us why is Mesut Ozil being left out in the cold once again? Is this a tactic to just get rid of him or has there been words exchanged? Does this show Ozil lack of sporting ambition that he still won’t go to another team just to get his high wages? Some clarification would be highly appreciated?
2020-07-14
7. Taking fans for granted - This was literally the worst episode of this pod. Your panel admitted that prices stay low due to tv yet complain about fans not having power... it’s the most whingy joke. The match day fans don’t pay the freight yet feel less included... it’s just reality. Say something intelligent on the subject

Comments
1. Gambling Ads Killed This Pod - Unsubscribed because opening MGM ad is short but the call -xxx in this state or that state us way longer than the actual commercial. Statistically you will lose more than you ever win. Not a moralist but gambling ruins lives so I use my right to free speech by saying I won’t support or listen to a pod which takes gambling house money. Over and out.
2023-03-16
2. Top Tier! - Love this pod! They have some of the best US National Team coverage out there. When focusing on club sides they are one of the only groups that find a perfect balance between European competitions as well as MLS, each getting an equal amount of passionate discussion and serious consideration. Also these guys are just fun to listen to!
2023-03-14
3. Pretty good - I like hearing the American perspective of European football. The MLS talk is mildly interesting if for no other reason than it’s amusing to hear people so passionate about a subpar league. I absolutely hate the term “piece” for players. It drives me insane and I have to get over it, but I won’t.
2023-03-01
4. Long -erm TSS fan. Thumbs up thumbs down is great show. - Good entertainment. Love the Big Thing! Thank you for discussing my favorite team Chelsea who I have been following for years since my English who grew up following them and turned me on to English football. the next big thing about Everton went to the dogs! LOL. Love these guys!
2023-01-28
5. Entertaining - Love the chemistry between the two hosts. I’ve been listening since the group stages and their pop-culture references add a new level of fun to the listening experience that already feels so genuine, like I’m listening to two guys that have been friends since grade school. Their tone and language is not intimidating at all for a slightly-more-than-casual football fan like myself, but I simultaneously feel like I’m learning a lot. — edit Still funny, but could use more research.

6. Best soccer podcast - Very entertaining podcast that single-handedly helped me get me into and understand soccer. The format of shows each week is great and covers just about everything in the world of soccer. The show offers both in depth analysis and more light hearted discussions that help simplify the sport. I have seen a lot of reviews complaining about politics but those people are losers, the hosts almost never talk politics.

7. A good podcast about the English Premier League - I’m not sure if it’s the existence of Allocation Disorder on the same feed, but the complete collapse of domestic soccer coverage (outside of occasional USMNT-focused shows) on this podcast has really killed my interest. It is basically a Premier League show with a passing interest in the USMNT. I’m still giving it a good star rating because the hosts do what they do well. But this podcast is just not for me anymore.

8. Love it. Such good soccer talk! - I started following women’s soccer because of my daughter’s success at the club level in the US as a goalkeeper. She’s just entered the college recruiting window, and it’s been really fun to watch the USWNT and NWSL together. During the recent Euros, I wanted to hear commentary on the matches and tried out a bunch of podcasts. This one is my favorite. The chemistry of the four hosts is incredible and each one is uniquely funny and knowledgeable. Now, with their most recent pod, I can feel them slowly pulling me into men’s EPL. What is happening!? Where are we going!?! As soccer / football begin to completely take over my sports fandom, it’s nice to know I have these fellas along for the ride.

9. Show description - Maybe it’s about time to review the show description?
Either that or give actual US-centric shows their own fee and stop acting like it’s all the same thing anymore. I’m not saying “Totally European Soccer Show” but it’s pretty much there except the acknowledgment that certain players are American. Still the best soccer podcast originating from the greater Richmond area. Sincerely,
Buffalo Mike

10. Best Soccer Pod Around - If you love soccer or even just merely interested, the Total Soccer Show is the podcast to subscribe to! Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe take genuine school boy enthusiasm and love for the game and partner it with bold predictions, technical reviews, and fun banter! The simple grassroots nature of the show is refreshing and requires little soccer knowledge to enjoy. Whether your a lifelong fan of the game or one of the thousands of new fans of the Beautiful Game, you will learn and love this podcast! Check them out and thank me later!

11. Sad they support state sponsored success - I usually like to listen but on the last episode they thought it was “funny” The top players go for the money to terrorist state sponsored sports washing clubs. Plus accusing Real Madrid of financial mismanagement which is completely false, they cut costs and stayed within their means through the pandemic. It’s lazy journalism to lump them the Barcelona disaster just because they are so in the same league. Maybe they were off there game with out The crew there.

12. stick to sports! - or at least expect scathing reviews if you don’t and your political views aren’t shared. the hegemonic woke, imperial capitalistic narrative espoused isn’t progressive, it leads to obvious sectarianism and news ways to legitimate intervention/regime change. your politics are a joke and you’re all pawns for the ruling class. aside from that, i disagree with a lot of your usmnt takes and player evaluations and think everyone but joe comes off as narcissistic and obnoxious and a totally parasitic MLS propagandist. lowery is a MAGGOT.
2022-05-18
13. Excellent Trio - Taylor, Joe and Graham do an excellent job of complementing each other while having their own different opinions. I love how they peek into all the corners of the US men’s team. The recent scouting of Balogun, Wright and EPB was delightful. They did their homework in an insightful appraisal and described each player’s strong points and things to work on in a way you could picture it.The Total Soccer Shows makes my day when I see a new USMNT broadcast.
2022-04-19
14. Best soccer podcast in the US - I started listening to Total Soccer Show during the World Cup when looking for good content covering the tournament, and was immediately impressed by the format, energy, thoughtfulness, and quality of the podcast. Of the many soccer podcasts I sampled, this is the one I’ll stick with for the long term relationship. They cover full range of soccer that would be of interest to US fans of the sport - USMNT, USWNT, Premier League, other major European club leagues, MLS, etc. Every week has several episodes in slightly different formats to keep in interesting and fresh. If you are a fan of soccer (even just a casual fan looking to dip your toes a bit more into the sport) I can not recommend Total Soccer Show highly enough.
2022-02-12
15. Soccer yes! Politics No! - They are fantastic covering soccer. They are very partisan when talking politics. If you lean left, you'll not notice it. If you're conservative, they will annoy at times with their surface-level treatment of politics. Two years ago I would have rated them a . Last year a . The longer they go the more they seem to be leaning into the political realm. The loss of Darryl has allowed Taylor to swerve hard left.
2021-11-20
16. Soccer talk from a left-wing perspective - Sam and Paul talk about some very interesting political topics but unfortunately if you’re looking for any type of balance (both sides of the story) this is not what you getting. This is % left wing echo chamber stuff here. Would be very interesting to see some other people brought on that don’t agree wholeheartedly so these complex issues can be fleshed out.
2021-11-04
17. Meh! - After many years of listening I unsubscribed today. Too much Euro talk. If I want UK voices telling me about Euro futball I can listen to Football Weekly. There are enough good US focused podcasts that TSS has become surplus to requirements. They talked about CL and gave the game with Americans a passing sentence and that was all. Disappointing. If I want USMNT chat I can listen to individual episodes. Richard

18. The best. - I’ve been listening to this show for years, I grew up listening to it with my dad and almost felt like I knew the guys even though I never met them. I’m so happy with the way you guys have been able to to evolve over time and always keep it fresh. The dynamic between Taylor, graham, joe, and Ryan is superb (even though for the longest time I hated Ryan ) keep it up guys!! I look forward to every episode!!!
2021-09-07
19. USWNT - You guys need to be more critical and stop being so nice with this US women’s team. Need more talk about what players are too old and need to go and who are the young players that need to move up and be given an opportunity. We lost this Olympics because we’re hanging onto these old players too long. Don’t be so nice in your conversation and analysis.
2021-08-10
20. Allocation Disorder-Great Show! BUT, One BIG criticism - I really enjoy hearing Sam and Paul’s insight on MLS etc. and reading what they write. I do have, what is to me, a CORRECTABLE issue. Sam, PLEASE stop saying ‘Right’ after every thought or insight you give. It puts the listener and Paul, in a forced position to agree or disagree with you on the subject of the conversation. I understand that it may be a subconscious thing, which means the producers are not doing their job. As I mentioned before, you two have the best insight, I have found, on MLS. But I am almost to the point I will not listen for the reason stated above. Now, if I am the only person that has this opinion, I will shut-up and just read what is written. Thank you ,

21. USWNT vs Sweden Olympic analysis - Wonderful discussion trying to explain the shocking USWNT loss to Sweden in the Olympics. There is very little in-depth analysis of the USWNT matches compared to the USMNT focused podcasts and youtube channel analysis. Thank you for going into detail and explanation. Please continue to breakdown all the future USWNT matches in the future. Your podcast is a great way to learn more and gain more appreciation of "the beautiful game". You are greatly appreciated.
2021-07-22
22. Uswnt loss to Sweden - I love the guys when they discuss the Euros or the Copa America or the European leagues, but wow do I feel blessed when they talk about the women’s game. Along with Jordan Angeli, the analysis and insights are awesome, so helpful to understand this disaster of a US game. Thank you all!
2021-07-21
23. Keep it to Soccer - I loved listening to this podcast with my son in the car but after three or four straight podcasts with references to politics, we are done. So sad as it was something I really enjoyed listening to with my son. It’s a shame that you can’t keep your disdain for the former president off the podcast about Soccer. I don’t like him either but he isn’t living rent-free in my head like he is in Taylor’s and Ryan’s. Get over him guys!
2021-07-13
24. Great - Been listening for years now and I still enjoy it but I do feel they scaled back the women’s coverage a lot. I don’t expect full dedicated episodes as the USWNT is pretty consistent but even a mention would be nice considering some men’s games get previews, hot takes, and deep dives for one single game. Also the NWSL is a lot of fun. Still love the show!

1. Love this podcast but want to voice concern - I’ve been watching the US men’s team since the early s. I played at a serious level until high school (that’s another story). So I am familiar with the main host as a player, Alexi Lalas. Please don’t get me wrong here, I enjoy every minute of the podcast. I specifically enjoy the input of guest/cohost David Mosse. I wouldn’t want to miss any of the insight he provides from his personal experience as a fan or his statistical analysis. But I found it to be a problem for me that in the final podcast about the World Cup in he didn’t acknowledge the platform he has been given by one of the best American Soccer players, Alexi Lalas. Realistically, where would he be without the generosity of Lalas ? Mr. Mosse is not a soccer player at the level of Lalas or any other national team American player. I just find it disrespectful that he doesn’t say “ thank you” (for this opportunity) given the fact that he’s not an actual player on that level but is given such a large platform to share his opinion on matches of such a historic magnitude. I want to say, “Ok, you were born in Brazil. That doesn’t make you a professional soccer player. No matter where you come from. Please don’t take it for granted that you get to have your voice as a fan taken seriously on this platform.” I mean no disrespect to Mr. Mosse! Thanks for all you... say. And your research. But I kindly ask the host of this podcast to invite more teammates on to get their perspectives. I’d give more respect to your guests who’ve faced World Cup opposition, whatever perspective that may be. Anything less is ... omission. Thank you. God bless Argentina and god bless America (and France, and Croatia and Morocco and so on and so forth).

2. Is Alexi paid by the decibel? - This guy trades in bombast and hot takes with very little actual substance. It’s like he learned one lesson from media training on day one and has refused to learn anything else in the last decade or so. His claim of victimhood in the face of legit criticism is profound, and if he came up a generation, or two, ago it wouldn’t matter. But it’s and he remains committed to not knowing what he doesn’t know. His unapologetic and one dimensional presence in the modern soccer landscape appears more and more like Wile E Coyote hanging in the air off the side of a cliff. I only wish he’d look down sooner than later, and plummet downwards. Or at least cut to the chase and join FOX News.
2022-12-15
3. Lex is the Man! - I keep coming back to this primarily because of Alexi! His energy and passion for the game and before all his support for the team USA was so energizing and therapeutic in a way. During work days when I can’t watch the game this podcast is what I fall back to and it works great to satisfy my World Cup news cravings. His sidekick Mossi is also very knowledgable and keeps the conversation between the two highly interesting. Alexi did hurt my Croatian American ego with his Brasíl Croatia predictions but hey let’s see the game first. Checkered Cinderella might dance again. I wish you all a couple of good days of rest and thank you again for creating this star podcast.
2022-12-07
4. Enough LA-Centrism Already - I’ve been a long time listener to this podcast and enjoy the analysis and discussions of the “Beautiful Game” in all its forms around the world. I appreciate Alexi’s perspective, but too often his pompous and self-righteousness rubs me the wrong way. David Mosse’s insight and analysis of the game and business of soccer are outstanding and help me better understand what is happening because of his massive data bank of knowledge, especially when it comes to Brazil and South America. I would also appreciate Alexi admitting that he is a homer for anything LA as his MLS analysis is always through a LA centric lens. Still worth a listen.
2022-08-01
5. Ups n downs - Fighting through the first - minutes is the worst part of this show. Not into the “what’s on TV “ at all, it’s a star loss. Dave and Alexi bring a good soccer POD otherwise. Alexi can run his mouth anyway he likes,,, bothers some people but I like the opposing ( of mine) opinions. I find David a well versed statistical opposite of Alexi. David will follow his heart on some topics which I find as a good thing. He’s often more of a “romantic “ than Alexi even though Alexi claims to the romantic. The call questions from listeners can be hit or miss. Some questions are compelling while others are as boring as toilet paper.
2022-07-27
6. Alexi is the best - Alexi is the only reason I listen to this podcast. Mosse is a great compliment and adds awesome content to the show, but Alexi is the star. He is unafraid to give a real opinion and even better, can take criticism. People just dislike him because he doesn’t care about others opinions, and he doesn’t get offended like the rest of our society. This is the one podcast I look forward to every Tuesday. Keep up the great work, guys.
2022-07-26
7. FAR better than . stars - I embarked on my football/soccer obsession in . The ALSOTU podcast was one of the first I downloaded in an attempt to accelerate my fandom, and it remains one of my favorite to tune into each week. I’ll lay out three reasons for why I feel so strongly in favor of this pod. . David Mosse is an absolute monster. If I can be even / of Mosse, I’ll reach my goal of being able to cover the sport in a professional capacity. . Great information from around the globe. There’s great insight from the player’s perspective, and I’m bound to learn something new each episode. And not just something related to the US or Europe. . Mosse and Lalas have a nice chemistry and rapport. I get very frustrated with pods/shows that get carried away with the debate and bickering. Lalas does a great job of playing Devil’s advocate and appropriately challenging Mosse when necessary. I would highly recommend the ALSOTU podcast for any soccer fan, whether he or she is seasoned or a brand new follower.
2022-04-19
8. Decent but Arrogant - Love that Alexi uses his voice to promote the beautiful game in the US. He is sharp and experienced in the soccer realm. But I would be remiss to omit the ambiance of arrogance and superiority that travels through his mic. I could do without the latter. Mosse gives a South American perspective and occasionally balances Alexis weaker points. Still gave stars for passion towards the USMNT.
2021-12-14
9. Alexi is a condescending, bloviating airbag… - This should be called the Mosse and Alexi podcast. Mosse is illuminating and always on point; Alexi is a pompous, condescending jerk, but one whose opinion can’t be ignored for US soccer commentary. I’m not sure why Mosse puts up with him. On another note: if you play another stupid Shopify ad and again insert . minutes of ads in front of the next episode, I’m done with you. Have some respect! And I can’t stand Stu Holden. Still, with all this, I find this podcast has less crosstalk and stays more focused than the MLS podcast.
2021-10-13
10. Topical but necessary - I know Alexi gets a bad rep too often but I think it’s necessary to improvement. Alexi often creates debates and a different point of view many people get irritated with but without it there would be less of a drive to prove Alexi wrong. Great podcast but the only thing I ask is that the titles of the episodes contain less click bait. When you name drop CP I expect to get some good details on him. Not literally a name mention. But Love the podcast regardless. Highly recommended!
2021-08-18
11. Disappointment - Dear Alexi, For years now I have been defending you to my friends, telling them that you do know what you’re talking about. But sadly after listening to your podcast today, I have come to learn that you are a corrupt, Fox SOB, who knows nothing about what he is talking about. You say you’re a romantic, but if you’re a true romantic of the game you would be % against this. Stop giving US soccer a bad name. You eat chicken from a can and I hope they let David Mossy take over this podcast. God bless you David Mossy.
2021-04-20
12. Failed analyst - This dude Alexi has worse takes than Skip Bayless. His takes on players and global soccer are so trash mostly because of his bias towards American players. He also brings in politics into this podcast and I don’t mind it but when he starts saying ignorant and insensitive stuff, that’s when I draw the line. That’s why no one wants to hire you as an analyst. People don’t like your takes other than the very casual “soccer” fans in America. Lame
2021-02-25
13. Too Long - A fairly good podcast, but it’s far too long. One hour podcast is too long, having episodes run in excess of minutes is just too much. And somebody has got to convince Alexi to quit saying “out there.” Once or maybe twice an episode wouldn’t be irritating but using his favorite phrase more than a dozen times... Very tiresome!
2021-01-06
14. Always interesting and intelligent - My thumbmanship is too poor to appropriately express what a good job these guys do. Two good people with diverse interests and deep soccer passion supporting US soccer interests from a global POV. It demonstrates the growth of Alexi from the brash, rogue ambassador of US soccer to the confident, well-rounded yet humble leader/supporter. But..... not without the insights, knowledge and laid back library of knowledge from Mosse. An excellent duo that I look forward to weekly as I listen in from abroad.
2020-07-24
15. The USA team is never going to be good again!!! - Look Alexi, the USA Men team is never going to get better. The future for you is to stop talking about the USA team and talk about the MLS. Maybe some other league, but don’t say the USA team is ever going to a World Cup again. Look to the women’s team. Hope you take my advice. Best of luck to you
2020-03-04
16. Amazing - The LAST thing I want to do is stroke Alexi’a massive ego but this podcast is amazing. Both guys are fabulous. They give great info on all facets of soccer both in MLS and international play and Mosse is an expert on La Liga and more foreign teams. Combining both of their expertises and it’s an amazing informative never dull podcast.

1. Fan’s Dream - Andrew, James, Louis and the other occasional guests have an amazing show. Andrew does a great job at all times and the product is continually improving. episodes, one for each year, was a great gift of Arsenal history to each and everyone of us and pulled the entire Arsenal pundit community together in it’s totality. ‘Poorly Drawn’ is a great addition. This is my first Arsenal pod that I go to. It is the standard. To a great future Andrew.
2022-09-11
2. Your guide through Arsenal highs and lows - I have supported Arsenal for years (short for many folks.) Andrew is a fantastic host who has helped me keep the faith as the team gradually declined while always making us believe we can regain past glory. It is funny, insightful, and reminds us why we love Arsenal and the beautiful game. Also I appreciate his personal beliefs in tolerance and fighting racism / homophobia while asking deep questions about the influence on money on the sport and human rights.
2022-08-03
3. Best Arsenal podcast - The gold standard of Arsenal podcasts. Andrew and James are both knowledgeable, funny, and just play off each other so well. The show is always relevant and interesting—and importantly, each of them normally have relatable and thought out opinions on the various topics. They don’t pretend they know things that they don’t know, don’t get too bogged down in uninteresting topics…they just know exactly what they’re doing.
2022-07-28
4. Amazing Arsenal Pod - I’ve been listening to Andrew and James for years, I absolutely love this podcast. It has the best Arsenal content, Andrew makes it relevant and is humorous. I’m a Patreon member and it is absolutely worth it to support these guys. I don’t know how else to really say that this Arsenal Pod is Amazing.
2022-07-05
5. Literally the reason I am an Arsenal fan - Six or seven years back I started getting into the Premier League and wanted to follow a team. I started listening to the Arsecast and instantly got hooked before I even knew what was going on because I enjoyed Andrew and James so much. It’s been my first listen every day it comes out for years now.
2022-05-24
6. The Absolute Best Arsenal Pod - There are a lot of great Arsenal Pods out there and I subscribe to most of them. Arsenal Vision, The Arsenal Opinion Pod, Latte Firm, Handbrake Off, etc. The Arseblog pods are the ones I look forward to most, week after week. Andrew and James are excellent. Their analysis and commentary is always well considered, their guest rotation is great and they are hilarious. Thank you for keeping the Arseblog going strong Andrew!
2022-04-29
7. If you can choose one Arsenal podcast, go with this one! - Along with reading Hornby's Fever Pitch, listening to Andrew and James talk Arsenal life in a hilarious, trenchant, mordant, philosophical way has greatly improved my Arsenal fan-life. The salve I need after tough losses, and the positive gloating I need after surprising wins.
2021-12-31
8. Through and Through - Well, gents, sorry it took six years to finally put out a review! Whether you want to revel in the glory, suffer alongside in the pain, or just hate on Sprs, Andrew and James are the humans with which to do it. Always insightful, always honest, and always consistent. There could not be a better pod to navigate the ups and downs of this club alongside. Cheers!
2021-09-06
9. Most comprehensive Arsenal podcast - Regular listener to both the men’s and women’s podcasts. So comprehensive, so fun. Makes me feel really immersed and in the know. I live in the US so I have difficulty accessing the FAWSL. So I’m so grateful to Tim, Alex, and Pippa for not just keeping me looped in, but also really informed and entertained. COYG!
2021-07-22
10. Arsenal Women Episodes are Fantastic - As a big fan of the Arsenal men’s team, who’s also been trying to keep up with and show lots of support for the women’s team, the Arsenal Women’s podcast has been absolutely fantastic. The knowledge, banter, and excitement exuded by Tim, Pippa, and Alex is amazing. I can’t wait to continue hearing all of the amazing news and information they share.
2021-07-22
11. Arsenal Women’s Podcast is a hit - Tim, Pippa and Alex do a great job of exploring all things Arsenal on the women’s side, often with much more acces to the team, coaches and the whole behind the scenes. Great analysis and gives a good handle on the all around women’s game, which thankfully grows more day by day.
2021-07-15
12. Love me some Arseblog - Goodly morning Gents! Gotta tell you how much I appreciate/rely on your brilliant podcast! I listen faithfully and consistently to each episode. Love the insights, speculations, squad talk, and oh yeah the humor is welcome too!!! I love listening to and celebrating each win with Andrew and James. Also have grown to depend on it when we lose to help get thru the downtimes! Keep up the great work and look forward to the next episode...up the Arseblog!

13. I nearly fell of my ladder - Yes you can get Kitkats in America.
But we are Not encouraged to eat the whole bloody thing just to impress the girls.
Wrapping and all.
So funny you guys .
Thanks for keeping me sane.
Love you both
Michael The Miami Painter So pleased for your higher ratings.
You deserve it mate.

14. Great show - James and Andrew provide a good analysis of Arsenal and all the the dealings around the club. I’ve been listening to them for over a year and it’s not an essential part of my week. Their banter is also very good and the guests also provide good insights. Highly recommend for all gooners

1. Best football podcast out there - I started off as a casual listener and two years later I’m all in. It’s the best pod out there in terms of football and day-to-day entertainment. The panel has become like family to me. They clearly all really like each other and they let you in on their personal lives in addition to providing really smart, pertinent football analysis. Ramble On everyone. You won’t be sorry!
2022-02-18
2. Wonderful Podcast! - This is definitely my favorite non-Spurs specific football podcast! The presenters are simultaneously informative, hilarious and at times appropriately juvenile. They have helped me through many dark months as a Spurs supporter with quite a few laughs through their superb banter! It’s so good that I even listen to all the episodes during the international break.
2021-11-10
3. Best football podcast - This is such a quality podcast. shows per week and lots of energy to wake me up in the morning. The Patreon is well worth a subscription! Everyone is hilarious and brings something unique to each episode. I enjoy all the combinations of hosts and occasionally you get a very Flinstones/Jetsons crossover vibe with some of the host combos.
2021-10-28
4. Used to love, but wearing thin on the slant - Used to love the boys (and girls), but it is frustrating to see them spend every episode openly bashing the team you support for no apparent reason. Took a few weeks off, came back for Lara’s first episode, and it took minutes for them to start doing the same. It’s disappointing to see the same bias present in mainstream media impacting my once favorite podcast.
2021-09-27
5. Revised Down - Due to anti free speech comments especially against fans booing players kneeling in support of a communist racist ideology BLM. Unlike the NFL NBA it seems like EPL and F at least avoids protesting the national anthems of the various countries. Therefore I still watch these sports. I respect the right of anyone to protest however they want if peaceful including kneeling in support of an ideology that has killed tens of millions. Offensive as that speech is I think it must be protected. It is also important to protect speech condemning that speech. Fascism disguised as Communism and racist ideology like CRT must be confronted.
2021-08-24
6. Used to be better - From a strictly media standpoint and content that flows, it was much better when Spellzy had the host chair most of the week. Kate is good, obviously, but there’s a reason that Ramble HQ are in the place they are now, as a collective. This new thing of Marcus -x a week just isn’t enough. I think maybe Kate or Jules in total - times a week would be fine, but it’s too much.
2021-06-17
7. they deploy racist stereotypes - probably cuz they are British and they hate clubs associated with middle eastern individuals. im sure they’ll claim it’s cuz of money but they don’t hate chelsea or man u. also really bad football analysis. accents are mediocre, i’ve heard better british accents.
2021-03-16
8. Kate, Andy and Pete are on? Yeah, I’ll skip this one. - This was fine the way it was. Yes, it’s more diverse now, but the chemistry between the four original hosts is gone. Andy Brassel knows about obscure players from France and Portugal but he’s so boring. He takes it so seriously. Kate is meh, Vish is meh. Pete is trying to be more wacky than is necessary. Jules is good. Their guests are uninspiring and there is simply too much content now. Even hardcore fans must be screening the content.
2021-03-15
9. Transition to daily removes magic - The show was absolutely excellent with the bi weekly release schedule, especially when paired with the phenomenal “On the continent” sister show. However the transition to a daily format has removed a lot of what made the show great. Becoming more of a news style update format than the recap with mates style. The new hosts are excellent journalists and reporters in their own right however it seems as though they have been unable to recreate the banter and chemistry the four original hosts had. And to further compound that issue, the four original host format is no longer seen. This overall weakens the podcast to a more generic level than the truly sensational one it was prior to the sweeping changes. Perhaps after Covid we can see a return to a more normalised hosting schedule. If not I wish the hosts the best of luck and hope that the new format benefits them greatly. It’s just not for me.

1. Too Long/Some Analysis - If you’re looking for a long podcast where the hosts enjoy being together, banter, and provide some soccer analysis then this is probably a good pod for you. The coverage of clubs is uneven however. If you’re looking for a shorter show that covers teams with more detailed analysis I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

2. Abortion comments - Your continual comments about being pro-women and therefore pro-abortion is completely off the mark. Many, many women are anti-abortion and pro life. And now your comments come on the show that to do away with Roe v Wade is “barbaric”. In fact, the very act of performing an abortion is a most barbaric, cruel act. A child in the womb is fighting for survival and dependent on the mother for life. To remove and dispose this child should not happen in our society.

3. Used to enjoy this podcast - But it’s pretty much at the point now where they obsess over the big city teams, dream up unlikely transfers as clickbait (listen-bait?), and then a little legit upcoming game analysis at the end (shocker - they’re usually big city teams!). Half the time they are obsessed more with “ZOMG SEATTLE AND ATLANTA HAD SO MANY FANS AT THEIR MATCHES” rather than the actual soccer. Just unsubscribed to get their spam out of my feed.

4. Hope you’re a Seattle fan…… - This podcast is great if you wanna hear about how great the western th place Seattle Sounders are so amazing….. we get it, they won CCL, don’t think you need to spend episodes dedicated to talking about it and ignoring all the regular season games (which Seattle lost).

5. Arrogant, pompous and corporate - The constant talking down to fans, being dismissive of any real criticism or analysis and the shilling for mediocrity is disgusting. Also the constant pushing of woke narratives is annoying and disgusting. This podcast could get % better by getting rid of Matt Doyle alone.

6. Narrative driven mls discussion - This is a good show. Reliable, straight from the source information on most things mls. The guys have good banter and chemistry. That said certain teams get way more focus and discussion than others. This isn’t europe guys, we have a league with good parity, I want to hear about all of the clubs even if we can’t go too into depth. Also I’m here for the mls content, not the usmnt. Thanks for your hard work! I envision a bright future for mls and this show

7. Great MLS and North American Related Podcast - Always fun to listen. Good insight and laughs. Also applaud them for using their platform to address pressing social issues when necessary (briefly, never goes on for too long and doesn’t get into the politics only the morals and social issues). Honestly wish the podcasts were longer though. Producer is always worried about time
2021-11-03
8. Main host shut up and let the other guys speak - Unfortunate that if we have to follow any kind of soccer regarding the US this is what you have to listen to..the main host would rather eat glass than ever say anything that might be critical of the USMNT which you might understand as this is a MLS post but try to be a little more even-handed. Other than the host’s extreme butt-kissing and fawning over to the US federation and the national team braintrust, the other hosts are actually quite good and informative…if the main host was just a little more critical and not so rosy-colored,I’d easily give it a …
2021-10-15
9. Incomplete coverage of MLS - The format would be better if the guys made it a point to talk about each game, rather than just jumping from one subject du jour to another. Some teams get almost completely left out of the discussion, even teams that are at/near the top of the table, while other teams (I’m looking at you Miami and Atlanta) get tons of love despite being bad teams. These guys are knowledgeable and have good insight - it would be nice if they could have some structure to the pod and actually talk about each game/team for a change.
2021-08-10
10. Legendary. - Fantastic podcast all around, been listening for about three years. Fun, engaging, and really well-rounded. The gang really manages to hit all the important things around MLS, domestically and internationally. They’re also not afraid to touch the topics that, as Wiebe says, are more important than soccer. Keep up the good work.
2021-04-29
11. Kind of ehh - I want a podcast for MLS and US news that’s informative and entertaining. Been listening for over a year and these fellas argue a ton and sometimes drag certain topics out then cut others too short because of time. They waste time on politics and random stuff. I don’t feel like I get enough news and updates except maybe when Wiebe is gone. WORST part of the whole show is the dad jokes and if I ever have to listen to another haiku I’m blowing my brains out. -from an MLS fan
2021-04-03
12. Entertaining - Very entertaining with fun takes and good incites. Been listening since the March to the Match (rip) days in , but finally decided to review. Doyle is the best on the show, no matter how much he rips into my timbers, although he’s come around a bit for sure. If you can get past the woke politics they constantly bring into the sports pod, it’s a good listen.
2021-03-17
13. Go-to podcast - I may not be David Beckham, but this is exactly where I go to find out what’s going on in the MLS. Long time listener (and now friend of the pod?) and have had the pleasure to sit in on a recording of Extratime before the world ended. The hosts are amazing people and so knowledgeable about the league. You won’t find a more entertaining yet informative podcast for all your MLS needs.
2021-03-03
14. No Political Commentary please - When the boys get around to talking about soccer, the podcast is great. I love the deep dives that they do into players team philosophies, and playing styles. Lately the feel the need to do political commentary to open the show. I am not sure that they realize that people are tuning in for their soccer perspective not their political opinions that not everyone agrees with. Personally when they start off the show with their political commentary, telling us how to think and what is “morally” just, have to delete the episode immediately. We come to podcasts like this to hear something different than politics to get away from people telling us what to think and how to act. I think these broadcasters should just focus on MLS soccer. There are more than enough political podcasts out there. Please stay in the soccer lane. I hope I can come back to this podcast and have it be void of political discussions.
2021-01-08
15. Quality MLS Podcast - A quality MLS Podcast that covers all of MLS at least twice a weak. They get some good interviews with players, coaches, and GMs but they did get sidetracked from time to time and go on little bits that may or may not be soccer related. If you are looking for a podcast that talks MLS along with so funny bits and hot takes, this is the show for you.

Comments
1. Elephant in the Room - Great podcast for hearing about USMNT, candidate players and interviews, how they are doing for their clubs. I have only listened to the last several episodes leading up to the World Cup, but I think it’s a big MISS to not mention the issue of corruption in FIFA’s selection of Qatar to host and that country’s reprehensible mistreatment of foreign nationals that have built the WC infrastructure. I hope that in the remaining time the hosts will find time to acknowledge these problems and report on US Soccer’s position on the matter. Huge elephant in the room over this WC and can’t be ignored - integrity is on the line. Will be hard to continue listening if such massive issues are ignored. Better rating to come for honest acknowledgment on this issue.

2. G’ bye - Great soccer podcast — one of the best.And I’m really happy since they’re up for sports podcast of the year the filthy language has stopped.I greatly admire the gentlemen Health and Charlie for their professionalism. And the one who coaches kids cleans it up.That would make this podcast a class act
2022-09-01
3. Such reactionary hot takes and what’s with the audio speeds? - Is there no research department or editorial staff? So many times incorrect stats and information is said and they never issue a correction in the show notes or the next episode. Wrong years, dates, teams…etc. The panel talks out of both sides of their mouths. It’s obvious who they like on the national team, and it’s anyone that will give them an interview. It’s super obvious that Heath doesn’t like Pulisic based on the snide remarks he’s given on the pod, yet admitting he doesn’t know him. The audio is like x the speed? Can’t make out anything Jimmy says. Doesn’t help that all three shout all over each other.

4. Propagandists - These guys are just using their former player statuses to produce terrible propaganda content to manufacture consent for bad MLS lifers. seriously, these guys are all puppets for USSF/MLS interests and their [structurally produced] “opinions” would make the usmnt much worse. spineless mouthpieces, the lot of ‘em.
2022-06-02
5. Love the former player perspective!! - Gents, i’m absolutely loving this new podcast. I followed each of your careers and it’s awesome to hear from former players their insights on what it was like to navigate playing at the highest levels! Seriously, I’ve been waiting for a soccer podcast like this for a long time. Hyper focused on USMNT in this WC Year! Let’s freaking Gooooo!! More current and former player interviews please!! And keep telling your stories!
2022-05-27
6. Best Soccer Podcast - You guys are on fire. This show is so thoughtful, fun and informative. In addition to being former USMNT players, it’s just really impressive how deep and professional this pod is. Not to be missed…this is a must listen for me each time it drops. Please keep up the awesome work Jimmy, Heath and Charlie, y’all are killin’ it. is a massive soccer year and that much more enjoyable with these guys providing insights, commentary and great guests along the way. Cheers! -Darren

7. Great Listen for USMNT Fans - Only a few episodes in and this is already one of my favorite podcasts. They do a great job of breaking down the USMNT and CONCACAF qualifying. The guests they have had on from Mexico have been great to hear as well giving an opinions on what is going on away from the US. As some who does not live in a soccer hotbed, this is a great option. P Twitter: handyrya

8. The unheard of - Today is a perfect day to write this review. As a Mexican American, I rooted for el tri at a young age. It was because of these two, Jimmy, Heath, and the Stanky leg, that I did the unheard of and switched my allegiance to the USMNT in a city of % tri fans. So each Mexico vs USA has felt like I’m at Azteca for me. This is the best soccer podcast IG: alxhernandez

This Is Silly With the Louligans is a podcast by and for fans of St. Louis soccer. Focused now on Saint Louis CITY SC, the show airs every other week covering as much as we can about the upcoming team, former STLFC players, local, regional, and national soccer, and any other soccer in St. Louis. Show up. Have fun. Make noise.

1. Easy, Professional, Informative Listen - Best Soccer Capitol podcast I have ever heard. St. Louis’ soccer history is rich beyond belief and this podcast is the epitome of it incapsulated. Every other city that claims “America’s Soccer Capitol” clearly hasn’t listened to these well informed gentlemen
2023-03-21
2. Love the show - Hosts are great, so nice to have an extra podcast to listen to that’s run by fellow fans. Their introductions of supporters’ groups to help newcomers is one of my favorite things that any local podcast has done. Also, I love knowing that I’m not the only St. Louis City fan on the Illinois side of the river! Keep up the great work, y’all.

1. Favorite soccer pod - Been a fan of the pod for years and this is easily my favorite soccer podcast. JJ and Andrew are very entertaining with a solid mix of knowledge, humor and good natured squabbling. Their passion of the game is captured well on the show and resonates with someone like myself who also shares that same love of the sport. Caught Offside forever!!
2023-03-16
2. What a job JJ and Andrew are doing!!! - These guys are a blast to listen too! Love the chemistry they have. I’ve been listening for years now, and they’ve yet to disappoint. Always good for a laugh and I agree with most of their takes on EPL play. I listen to a lot of soccer pods, and this is one I look forward to the most. As an Arsenal/SKC (and Chiefs, sorry Andrew) fan, I’m happy with EPL coverage, just waiting for y’all to cover the MLS (as a future top league in the world ) a little more. hour pods!? Why not!? What a job you fellas would do.
2023-02-15
3. My Favorite Podcast. - Been a listener for years. JJ, Andrew and the show account are solid follows on twitter as well if you enjoy tracking along during games. Listen to the “Building for a Better Tomorrow” episode. If you are a fan of soccer (or football, whatever, leave me alone) then this is the podcast for you. Plain and simple - they care about the sport and deliver commentary in an entertaining fashion.

4. / - Easily my favorite soccer podcast. JJ and Andrew provide great insight in a highly entertaining way. The banter between the two of them is always fun. They have wonderful and intelligent guests and their commitment to the podcast is unmatched. Pods are always timely and relevant. I love these guys tbh. Proud listener since Dec. .
2023-01-17
5. Caught Offside - Oooooooh what could I say that hasn’t already been reiterated by every distinguished soccer lover around the globe. These guys have it all when it comes to a soccer pod. Come for breaking news and analysis of all the action and stay for goal net physics and pitch reports! But seriously you guys are the best, thank you Andrew and JJ.
2022-12-22
6. Great listen - I have been listening to these guys for years. I like their regular guy approach to talking about soccer. They are relatable and their passion for soccer comes through. I watch a lot of soccer but I don’t have many friends that watch soccer. When I listen to Andy and JJ I feel like I have an outlet to help breakdown the games I watch. It is helpful.
2022-12-22
7. Long term review - Forgot how i discover the pod years ago, could not stop listening ever since. Listening JJ and Andrew delivering interesting and insightful analysis with such a relax manner, combining with their down to earth personalities, sometimes i forgot how talented and hardworking they are to make this happen. Thank you!

8. Top Tier Footy Podcast - Have been listening to these guys for years. They are a part of the - futbol podcast rotation that I listen to regularly. They have emerged as my favorite though purely based on their passion. They’re rapport has the feel of a futbol conversation with friends that goes on longer than you intended but you’re loving it. Nothing mundane about these guys.
2022-12-21
9. Bets Soccer podcast out there!!! - Love this podcast!! Great chemistry, great analysis, great production. If you are an American soccer fan this is what you need to be listening to in order to get your fill of EPL, Champions League, and USMNT. Virtually all major American sports podcast all but ignore Soccer, and at best relegate it to an occasional dumbed down segment that gets rolled in with F. This podcast needs to become a part of your routine if you, like me, love the beautiful game, and want an alternative to the British podcasts that don’t share the same priorities as US fans. If you are looking to get into soccer, or if you are already a dedicated fan this podcast will give you perspective, analysis, and knowledge while also thoroughly entertaining you. I don’t write reviews, I generally can’t be bothered, this podcast is that good.
2022-12-20
10. My favorite Soccer Pod, without a doubt - Two of the best voices in soccer podcasting, and a chemistry unmatched anywhere else in sports reporting. None of the forced stance-taking/arguments of some sports talk shows, great guests and conversations, often informative and always entertaining. Great sports journalism, and even better listening company. Love the CO Soccer Pod crew!! - Sounderland, PNW

James Richardson and Team Totally are here three times a week with all the football news you need to know - and plenty that you don’t. On Monday, we review all the weekend’s action. On Tuesday, it’s the Euro crew with James Horncastle and Raphael Honigstein looking at matters across the continent. And on Thursday, Duncan Alexander brings the silliness and numbers.

1. Euro edition is the best - Love the euro coverage! Alvaro does an amazing job covering Spanish football and the entire crew is also great. I need the stats guru to find out an answer to this question: when is the most likely time for different individual strikers to score? My attention is on Mbappe. It seems that he almost always scores in the th minute. Is that because he doesn’t defend so he has the legs to take on tired defenders? It’s just so common it seems to find him scoring in the dying minutes of a game. I am a Real Madrid fan, so you know that scoring on us first is a mistake. We normally leave it late to score and I attribute it to superior athletes not tiring. But wow, mbappe scores I late winner every time I check PSG stats. Anyway, the above is the kind of question that Jules and The James’s, Alvaro and the many other contributors are talking about and make this top three football pods. Producer Charlie, I’m glad you’re back! We don’t forget you!
2023-03-12
2. Please stop alluding to game results in episodes titles! - Love the show. My only complaint is please, please, PLEASE stop spoiling game results in the episode titles! Lots of people all over the globe are unable to watch games live and often this podcast will come out before they are able to. It’s a small thing sure, but having to avoid looking at your podcast feed in case of a spoiler is remarkably annoying. You can easily come up with a title laying out the big talking points of the show without alluding to the results. This is basic podcast etiquette, please figure this out!
2023-01-23
3. Mostly great… some contributors you skip over. - I began listening to Jimbo way back in and came along with him on the Totally ride. I have always enjoyed his love for Serie A and his humor. Jimbo has always been a voice of reason and classy with his puns and always makes sure the listener is never forgotten.
The other contributors can be very interesting (Duncan with his stats and humor, Cox with his contrarian but interesting takes, Rafa with his nuanced take) or irritating and meriting a fast forward (Laurens with his psg heavy takes and Carl Anka with his fan like unbalanced take on United).
Alvaro covering Spain has been a welcome recent addition.
2022-12-06
4. Enough of Natalie - Good banter, good knowledge but please for the life of me please stop booking Natalie and Lynsey ……. Natalie brings absolutely nothing to the show. She struggles to express herself in English and if she’s not talking about Brazilian domestic players she’s useless. She also struggles so badly to speak English she can’t even express a proper point….. just gibberish. And Lynsey made one of the worst arguments I’ve ever heard in football by claiming teams in the WOrld cup, teams who have already advanced are disrespectful to their opponents if they test their players……… I’m sorry is this the World Cup or an year old local kick about for charity?? Lol what a joke. So many smart football minds available and this is who you’re booking??? Laughable
2022-12-02
5. Consistent - Show is tops in consistency. I look forward to each episode . Content and pundits are insightful and not merely on re: pol agenda ( well, for the most part. Jim pitches his misplaced energy agenda, too). Please buy Natalie and Mauricio operating microphones… or rescue the two as they must be down a well.
2022-11-19
6. Where Jimbo goes rightminded ppl follow - Simply the best UK based football pod, by far. (Only Second Captains, Irish, on football is as good...or possibly better, heresy I know.) The Jimbo/Honigstein bromance is beautiful, real and dare I say, sweet. No wonder Glendenning is so bitter. On a side note. Laurens is a buffoon and shouldn’t be on, and certainly shouldn’t be allowed talk about France or PSG. Not a real journalist. Gallic apologist.
PS
Never, ever again allow Rafa Honigstein to go backpacking across Europe or whatever it was he did on his Guardiola sabbatical. Not the same without him.
2022-06-14
7. Best of its kind - After the “split” with The Guardian Football Weekly pod, I stayed with the Guardian for a few years before eventually listening to both. Seeing Football Weekly get increasingly bleak and cynical - and seemingly hating my club to the point our match “analysis” was purely about non-soccer related matters - I’ve said goodbye to the Guardian and made the full transition. You can always rely on Jimbo to take the piss out of every club! He’s the best in the biz and Cox, Storey, Alexander, Davies-Adams, and the international journalists are standout. Could do with less Carl Anka with his shameless United fandom and uninspired takes.
2021-11-30
8. Needs some TLC then all is good - Genuinely enjoy the show and am always charmed by James and his plethora of rotating journos, particularly Daniel Storey who is always chefs kiss. Two things tho: ) Please, for gods sake, enough with the gambling sponsorship. Paddy Power can absolutely kiss the skinniest whitest posterior on my body. The absolute dregs, find a less godawful way of sponsoring your show. ) Julien Laurens: no
2021-08-30
9. Excessive Ads - I get the need for advertising on free podcasts but the number of ads has really gotten a bit too much. I’ve been listening to this since episode and I’m really disappointed with what this program has become. I’ve also always found the gambling ad posing as a segment to be particularly distasteful. I generally just shut it off as soon as I hear it’s time to check in on the odds with paddy power.
2021-06-24
10. Sadly, no longer a pod, just a market place - I thought it odd when listening to an unending barrage of commercial stings, people would occasionally interrupt to talk about football. Sadly a formerly fluid and entertaining show has simply become a billboard for commerce and in the end dilutes any audio pleasure in the process.
2020-10-03
11. Great combination of insights, nerdiness, and lots of bad jokes. - The summer quiz series (The Inter-Totally Cup) was perfect. And though it was content created out of necessity, and in response to a pandemic pausing sports, it represents the kind of joyful, insightful, and silly experiences this show can produce.
2020-06-30
12. When the fun stops ... stop - Do you enjoy smarmy, pretentious, second-rate pundits who try desperately to sound “cool” but drone on in unfunny, self-serious tones? What about over-laughing at your own dad jokes? How about a washed-up World’s Toughest Man host who can barely conceal his contempt for the game and the supporters? Would it help if this was all “soft power” for a reprehensible gambling firm with a very recent history of racism and labor law violations? Then this is the podcast for you!
2020-06-29
13. Just not that great - Once they split from football weekly of course I followed. However, recently, all you need to do is listen to the Europe pod with all the top guys. Their domestic shows (Monday and Thursday) suffer from nerd pundits dumb stats. Someone like Michael Cox deserves better people to bounce off of.
2020-04-19
14. The Totally LFC Show - I know it’s what selling at the mo but while the same crew with their LFC fan producer seemed to be able to reign it in when at the Guardian, they have slowly degenerated since the split into seemingly having a cast of LFC fans dominating the show Jimbo seems jaded by it all at this point, I think I am too
2020-03-05
15. The Thunder-God of Football Podcasts - James Richardson is a deity in the football podcast world for a reason. A great presenter, equally at home in audio and video formats, with razor sharp wit and capacity to keep his cohorts on the ball and the conversation moving forward. This podcast still hasn't reached the dizzying heights the Guardian one did when James was presenting, and it may never do. The Totally Show drew the short straw when it came to splitting up the cast, with the Guardian keeping most of the top contributors (Honigstein and possibly Cox aside), and their recruitment since then is not as sharp as their adversary’s. Still, this is a really good podcast and the presence of James makes it a “must listen” most weeks.
2019-06-01
16. AC Jimbo til I die - There was a hole in my heart (and two in my head) once James Richardson left football weekly. He’s back and ha brought all my favorite pundits along with him. The right balance of subtle humor while remaining focused on the footy ensures new episodes are always at the top of my queue Check out Golazzo which is fantastic too.
2019-03-01
17. Unsuccessful Ole - Listening and you have some idiot saying Ole has been an unsuccessful manager. I guess winning the league with Molde after they had not won for a billion years is nothing. I guess coming back after the Cardiff episode and taking them to nd is also nothing. Getting Molde out of a tough CL group is nothing. But hey.
2019-01-15
18. Worth leaving Guardian for :) - A few years ago I found Jimbo's podcast at the Guardian. Once he left I picked up on his new show while still listening to the Guardian show. I've since deleted the Guardian folks (Max, Barry, et al) and I'm happy to keep listening to Jimbo and his friends at his not so new home now. PS the quality of wit and puns is unsurpassed here.
