Sad Bois FC

Adnan Basic, John Carollo

Sad Bois FC was formed when three amateur/semi-pro soccer writers covering the Chicago Fire decided to join together and talk about how sad their favorite teams make them. RJ left to buy some milk a couple years back, but you can still join Adnan and Jiggly as they discuss the soccer that they care about. With a healthy mix of Bundesliga, MLS, and even J-League talk, this podcast is a free roam around the world of soccer.

Who is Tyler Shogun?

In an episode more about football and hockey than it is about the Chicago Fire, the Bois discuss various misadventures in their travels. Adnan makes it into the press box at Bremen and Jiggly laced up some ice skates for the first time. And that was all after Sergio Oregel absolutely shut down Messi in the Fire's 0-0 draw a couple weeks back.

The Tutorial Stage

In quite possibly the shortest episode ever, the Bois hop onto a call directly after a Fire game while each are in the middle of their own "tutorial" arcs. Just some quick talk about the open of the Fire's season, the Bears' third consecutive "Best Offseason" award, and some news about the K2 League.
