The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Weekly, but it isn't up yet. James Richardson tweeted that they recorded a new one and it will be up today.

 

Thanks. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

Which soccer podcasts do folks here listen to? I frequent the Football Ramble, Football Weekly, Men in Blazers, Soccer Morning and The Best Soccer Show. The former Soccernet show was among my rotation, but there's too many shows to listen to at this point and ESPN FC (as it's now known) is a bit too sedate and doesn't break that much new ground.

 

Football Weekly, SI Soccer and Men in Blazers (although it sometimes gets too cute for me). I've never heard the Football Ramble, but will sample it.

 

The Football Ramble is good fun, if a bit blokey at times. Doesn't take itself at all seriously. Also, sounds like we'll have to wait another 24 hours for the first Football Weekly of the season.

My gawd ... Jozy Altidore. Assist and goal minutes apart to get the USMNT level in Bosnia. Other than a silly pass in the first half yards from the Bosnia goal when he should have shot, Altidore is having another outstanding game.

 

Altidore in beast mode. Hat trick and an assist. This has to be one of the best individual performances in USMNT history.

 

Naturally, because I couldn't watch it today. Stupid meetings.

 

Two world-class goals from Altidore. Defense was picked apart, but Jozy was brilliant. That new kid from Iceland, Aron Johannsson I think is his name, looked pretty smooth too. Nearly scored after juking two defenders in the box and had great composure with the ball at his feet.

 

That FK was fking brilliant.

I love the Tartan Army so much.

Wow. The U.S. men won? Have to admit I'd left them for dead down 2-0 at halftime. Looks like I need to go find the highlights.....
