Four dudes from New York talk about a soccer team in Germany. Join the guys as they discuss all things Bayern Munich and some things about soccer in general.
sorry for the hiatus. with two big losses in the league since we've been gone we try to find reasons not to worry about Bayern's current state.
the kloop group is back! this episode is filled with shameless plugs to buy Bayern Munchies t shirts, which are now available on Tee Public and through our website bayernmunchies.com
this is a long one. but it’s cool because length doesn’t actually matter. we spend the better part of the pod brainstorming potential Bayern managers not named Jose Mourinho. special guest fact checker Jim who doesn’t actually know soccer but is awesome at pronouncing names
sour beers, MMA, a listener question from twitter and damn we forgot to talk about Chris Richards' first team call up. next time...
Sule suffers a disastrous injury with zero contact while Tom survives Oktoberfest in Munich unscathed. weird times
something happened to the audio. it sounds like we're skyping, but we're not. it probably has something to do with Tommy being back. you probably forgot what he actually sounds like anyways. welcome back, Gooner. now tell us again how much you hate Tottenham
Sule slaps, Paderborn was never going to win that game, and Tottenham should just hire Jose Mourinho already.
happy Oktobergoalfest! no not to you Man City (rip Watford). a 3-0 win vs Red Star Belgrade and a 4-0 win over 1. FC Koln will suffice but also we revisit Lewy's 5 in 9 mins from back in the good old days. there's a bunch of champions league recap to kick off the ep and then we get into it with the billy goats. do you have Xbox? want to play us at fifa? Find us at gamertag: BayernMunchiesT we're currently working on one for PlayStation as well so lookout for that. We'll also be posting more specific times to play us on twitter: @munchiesbayern
Lukas Hradecky had the save of the season this week v Dortmund. And then Dortmund won 4-0. And then Manuel Neuer actually had the save of the season. And you thought it was time for Ter Stegen to take his spot on the national team. How inappropriate
is champions league without a group of death? is Brazzo a genius? will Tom be the next president of Bayern Munich? One thing is certain this episode: there will be water breaks
forgive us for taking the scenic route here but eventually we talk about the game. Lewy scores a hat trick, Coutinho and Perisic debut and Rubin still doesn't speak close enough to the microphone leaving much to be desired
It took us longer to release this episode than it took Bayern Munich to not sign Leroy Sane
