    This week’s episode is all about redemption, domination, and silverware. We kick things off with St. Louis City’s 2-1 win over San Jose—a much-needed result that screams new manager bounce. It felt like first-season vibes all over again, and seeing Löwen and Klauss both on the scoresheet? Chef’s kiss.

    Then we head to Europe, where Chelsea smashed Real Betis 4-1 to become UEFA Conference League Champions! The Blues are now the first club in history to win all three major European trophies. It started shaky, but once they settled in, it was domination. A perfect end to a rollercoaster season.

    And finally, we talk about the Champions League Final, where PSG absolutely dismantled Inter 5-0. It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. No one was beating them on that day. And as for Mbappé… let’s just say, mans down bad.

    Tune in for all the goals, glory, and classic banter as we wrap up a wild week in the world of football!

    This week’s episode is packed with drama, disappointment, and a little bit of silverware (finally). We kick things off with STL City’s 0-1 loss to Colorado—yes, we’re now the third-worst team in MLS, and no, we haven’t won a league game since March 15th. It’s getting bleak out here.

    Then it’s on to the Europa League Final, where Spurs beat United 1-0. Ange Postecoglou gets his flowers (and some wild photos), Spurs lift their first-ever trophy, and they’re heading to the Champions League. Meanwhile, United’s corner of the podcast has officially been renamed: “No European Football Corner.”

    In the Premier League, Chelsea beat Forest 1-0 in a sloppy but dominant performance. The energy was there, the vibes were immaculate, and Champions League football is back. And yes, if Chelsea win the Conference League, we’re saying it: better season than Arsenal. Elsewhere, United beat Villa 2-0—though some say Villa were robbed—and Everton stunned Newcastle 1-0.

    We wrap with a look ahead to the Champions League Final on Saturday: PSG vs Inter—we’ve got predictions, hot takes, and maybe a few jabs. Plus, the Conference League Final is set: Chelsea vs Real Betis. Can the Blues end the season with a trophy?

    Tune in for all the chaos, celebration, and classic footy banter!

    As we finished this episode, the news dropped that St. Louis City SC has released Head Coach Olof Mellberg and current City 2 Head Coach David Critchley will assume first team manager responsibilities..... its almost like we called it. Henry got on late last night to provide a quick chat about this new to end the podcast! Enjoy!

    This week on the pod, we break down STL City's brutal 0-3 loss to Minnesota—offensively lost, defensively shaky, and yes… it might be Olaf out. What’s going wrong, and is there a way back?

    Then it’s all eyes on Championship Sunday, where chaos is guaranteed. Every match kicks off at the same time, and just one point separates 3rd from 6th. Chelsea face Nottingham Forest with a Champions League spot on the line—can they finish the job?

    We also recap Chelsea’s shakey 1-0 win over Manchester United. Was it a statement or just more misery for United?

    And finally, we preview the Europa League Final: Spurs vs United. It’s the “Save Your Season” showdown—because let’s be honest, neither team deserves a parade. We couldn’t even make a combined XI without laughing. Who’s more desperate? Who bottles it? We’ve got takes.

    Tune in for all the drama, sarcasm, and unfiltered footy talk you love!
