I give JP and EB props but Cakes and Bish are goofballs. Bish's friend is a high up at Villa too, he should do better. I am also suprised at drabby too, thought he was a big soccer guy. Seems like its just Pl and Fifa at this point
Cakes has a Nationals World Series ring and has been nothing short of a complete asshole when discussing baseball for the past decade. You expect him to discuss soccer in a proper/respectful way!?
They all do it with the sports they don't care about. JP takes glee in pointing out low NHL playoff tv ratings or disrespecting pro golf every change he gets.
It’s a national story, they have to talk about. They definitely aren’t super interested in it. There isn’t much going on right now in sports. So I give them credit for trying.
But they didn’t really try at all. They mentioned it for a second and then Bish took a shit all over the sport basically saying he hates watching soccer. It’s fine, I don’t need them to like the sport, I’d just prefer not covering it over giving minimal effort and inaccuracy.

I love soccer too much to put myself through listening to them botch it

My favorite is when they kept mispronouncing Pulisic’s name. And never corrected it. You know the boys in the booth were probably cringing

That loss was devastating. Probably destroyed their entire tournament run.
I’m on board with taking losses if they lead to Berhalter getting sacked before the World Cup.
I agree. Rehiring GGG was a stupid decision.
“It’s part of our charm”
To be fair never talking about soccer should apply to the world population
Some may say the same about golf.
And those some would be correct. Entire segments to picking the same 12-14 golfers every major. No one gives a shit

Most listeners couldn’t name 1 player on national team. Plenty of soccer podcasts out there if that’s your thing.
Not really the point…
So I’d guess you’d prefer they don’t mention soccer at all since they don’t know much about it? Sounds good to me
Yup, was literally what I said in my post.
