OOOOwwwEEEE! The Ballboys got some thoughts on the USWNT performance in the She Believes Cup; some thoughts on the future of attacking roles in the team and an admission that The old heads can still ball. Carly and Pinoe ain't forking over their spots to Catarina Macario and Crystal Dunn just yet. But lets be honest, if you aren't super fucking jazzed for the potential of the Reggae Boys in the upcoming World Cup qualification cycle, you can slam your dick in a desk drawer. Oh, and Bob is sorry to inform you that Herve Reynard is the Coach of the Saudi Arabia men's national team. He really should've Googled that before telling you all how much of a Dreamboat that guy is. Enjoy!

Hey folks, on this weeks episode Jake feels the need to be a contrarian when it comes to the idea that the 2026 World Cup and the end of the current MLS CBA being lined up actually means more money for MLS players; then, get this, Bob cancels sports. Like all of them. So if you stick with the Ballboys for some rather meandering labor takes, shit really pops off. Enjoy.

The boys are on a roll with discussions of the next global American soccer star and also Christian Pulisic's GQ spread, Phil Neville as betting favorite to be the first MLS coach to be sacked, and put respek on Wayne Rooney's name. Enjoy!

Sancho talk Derails pretty quickly, but the Ballboys circle back around; MLS is Back tourney and Will the MLS come back and in what form does a "completed" season take; Champions League... yup thats still a thing.

Jake uploaded this weeks episode just before you get to watch more soccer this weekend. Thanks Jeebus for the eerie silence of German soccer stadiums. The boys fit as much actual soccer talk into this one as they could manage. Enjoy!

The Ballboys have fun in this one! Bob and Jake provide their All Follicle 11 after realizing they missed out on a similarly fun hair based segment in their 2019 awards show. If you're a listener over the age of 18, please type "Shep Messing Nude," into Google.

A mid-year roundup of Europe, not all of it, just the parts the Ballboys can kinda pay attention to; 2020 awards (we immediately thought of funnier categories after we recorded this). Best hairline recovery of the last decade would have been a doozy.

Howdy Partners, The ballboys are comin' at ya with a holiday episode, they start with Jake's cookie review, Bob is quite the baker. Ancelotti and Arteta are in at Everton and Arsenal; the boys ask questions, and provide no answers. Italy and people of color are at it again in Serie A and the boys think that the most likely reason is that someone is applying for an internship at The Onion. On a lighter note, Ashley Young playing on the wing and what could have been if fullback recruitment had been better at United. Also, he is a great guy and he'll be missed come the end of his contract in June. Happy Holiday everybody!

The boys are just about at the one year mark, their production quality and prep work is still in the fine tuning stages, but they've got some opinions about US Soccer, a Champions league roundup from either side of the Atlantic and some Marcus Rashford stats that are giving Bob a pants-tent. Enjoy
