We promise we will return to our regularly scheduled broadcasts of discussing lower-league soccer, but what is having fun without a little bit of shenanigans? 


Cameron and Karl are thrilled to bring you our HOT takes on the landscape of soccer media scattered throughout the multiverse - each part intertwining with one another to make a beautiful web of excitement. You really don't want to miss what we think about how media has shaped the landscape of the beautiful game in the United States. 


We discuss:


  • The FIFA video game fever; but it all began with Backyard Soccer
  • New Star Soccer?? 
  • Kicking and Screaming defined our childhood
  • Siu Lam juk kau (Shaolin Soccer)
  • The beauty of Anime
  • Bringing more fans to the game


There is so much driven into this one episode, we are sure that you all will have a good time listening.
