FM Soccer Talk
FM Soccer Talk
FMST
Soccer fans, Tito, Paolo, and Franco, discuss current soccer topics. From personal soccer experiences growing up to current standings in leagues around the world (i.e. Domestic Leagues: MLS, EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Liga MX, etc.; International Leagues: Champions League, Inferior Cup, Copa Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League, etc.)... No soccer topic is safe from the banter.
So much soccer, so little time
Time!!! Some days time seems to fly by while others it seems to stand still. Some days it's on your side and most days its seems to be working against you. With an overloaded schedule of games and teams playing every 3 days, there is just not enough time to play all these games. And the worst part, is they are usually on during work hours — so how are you watching these games? Do you just watch one team, one league, once a day or do you try to watch as many games, from as many leagues, every day of every week?  #MLS #EPL #SERIEA #BUNDESLIGA #LALIGA #FMST #FMSOCCERTALK #PODCAST #NIKE #ADIDAS #MACRON #PUMA #SOCCER #CALCIO #FOOTBALL #FUTBOL #FUTEBOL #USMNT #USWNT

37 – Talk About The Passion
Tito, Paolo, and Franco recap the weekend soccer tennis games, and the ever-growing interest in the sport. More and more players keep showing up and continue to turn up to play despite the dropping temperatures. The only explanation is the passion. However, is our passion for the professional game starting to dwindle? Are empty stadiums, endless VAR reviews, and the frequency of games killing the sport? Are players just as passionate to play in an empty stadium or do they still love the game as it's played today. What about you, are you still just as passionate?

34 – 18-2
Tito lets everyone know exactly how he feels in this heated discussion about Project "Big Picture". Americans thought they could come in and change the way the PL is run with their bailout package but really what they are doing is keeping the smaller teams from competing — giving power to the top 6. The optimist that he is, Paolo tries to find the good in everything, and not even he can find anything. Franco has his own thoughts and feels it's not the owners who are to blame but maybe it's the greedy players. 18-2 is an exciting fun episode that is guaranteed to get you fired up.
