With the majority of league seasons in Europe over, there is very little soccer/football going on. FIFA not giving much love to the viewers of the Women's World Cup in Europe. Die Mannschaft (the German National Team) is having a rough go in friendlies. This is the silly season for transfers, but Saudi Arabia seems to be having the best go at it. The first edition of the new FIFA Club World Cup will be hosted by the United States. Thanks for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/90pluset/message

We are at the start of the final international break of 2021. Koeman is out and Xavi is in at Barcelona. Ole still has a job, but is seat is very hot. My son's team got their first win of the season. I'm beginning the process to become a certified grassroots football referee. I briefly got over the tables for the top leagues in Europe. Oh, and I complain about how having the FIFA World Cup every 2 years is a really bad idea. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/90pluset/message

In this episode, I spend 10 minutes trying to explain how exciting it was to finally see the United States Men's National Team play in person. I attended the World Cup Qualifying match against Jamaica in Austin, Texas. 18 year old Ricardo Pepi from FC Dallas in the MLS was the star of the match, netting 2 goals. Newcastle United have become the newest club with billion dollar owners and have the chance to become the team to beat in not only England, but in Europe over the next 5 years. Neymar has said that the 2022 World Cup will be his last. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/90pluset/message

At the moment, Barcelona are the favorites to win the Europa League.....which they aren't even playing (yet). VfB Stuttgart have not started off their season well.

Ronaldo makes the return to the club that created CR7, Manchester United. Lukaku is back at Chelsea. Messi makes his debut for Paris Saint-Germain.

The first international break of the season is upon us, and there is plenty of drama between Brazil and Argentina that has nothing to do with play on the pitch. The USA are two games into to their World Cup qualifying campaign and they are sitting at 2 points.

Congratulations to the USWNT for their bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics and to the USMNT for their win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Summer of Football was not a disappointment.

The club season has officially started and I have high hopes for VfB Stuttgart this year. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/90pluset/message

Karim Benzema gets selected to play for France after six years away from the team. The UEFA European Championship, the CONMEBOL Copa America, and the CONCACAF Gold Cup are all coming up. VfB Stuttgart needs a lot of help to get to the UEFA Europa Conference League, but there's still a chance. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/90pluset/message

These greedy owners really tried to not only create a closed Super League in Europe, but they tried to change the game forever. Greed, financial losses due to COVID-19, and a lack of understanding the desires of fans led to this. Let's hope that this is the last time we ever hear about a European Super League. linktr.ee/90PlusET PSN ID: FutbolboyRH --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/90pluset/message

Paris Saint-Germain are still trying to get to the top of Ligue 1. Manchester City stumble against Leeds United, despite leading in most categories.

The year of 2 Copa del Rey Finals. I did a lot of babbling in this episode. Is it OK for me to make a switch from being an Arsenal supporter to becoming a supporter of Manchester City?

The European League seasons are slowly coming to a close, and it looks like VfB Stuttgart is going to avoid relegation.

It seems like it's been so long since we've had international football. UEFA World Cup qualifying is in full swing. Why is VAR not being used during World Cup qualifying? The teams for the Africa Cup of Nations is set (with the exception on the final team). The US Men's National Team had a decent international break.
