In Episode 160, Devin, Greggo, Mean Marc (eventually TK) recap the summer preseason tours for some of our favorite Euro clubs, including those we have been fortunate to check out in person on the FTC Summer Tour. We discuss Arsenal's solid campaign in the US and if the big moves has the Gunners aiming high when the season starts, Chelsea's shaky turn, and why Barcelona seems to have a lock on the transfer market despite having very shaky finances. And as the top Euro clubs tour the US, we discuss why fans seem to turn out for the big name clubs but not for teams based here in the US. In the second half we go into the Women's Euros and England's breakthrough to the Finals and if they can win it all or if France or Germany can beat the Home Nation (pre-recorded before that semi), acknowledge South Africa's first Women's Afcon championship, and in 2UP/2Down we go into new jobs, Soccer in the Streets, Vince McMahon retiring from WWE, and MORE!!

After a quiet summer, we return knee deep in tournaments, the first of which saw the US Under 20 Men qualify for not only the next U20 World Cup but the US's first men's Olympic tournament since 2008, setting up the men to a good start to the 2026 World Cup cycle. We keep things in North America where in the Concacaf W, the US Women have once again qualified for the World Cup, but also saw a promising Mexico Women's team fail to qualify, continuing a nasty streak of failures and of as our recording, resulted in the Mexican Federation firing their sporting director. In the 2nd half we comment on the start of MLS Rivalry Week, including the storied rivalry of Atlanta and Austin, the continued transfers, and Leeds United stacking up on Americans, commentary on the struggle of welcoming Black soccer supporters AND MORE in 2UP/2Down!!

Back for another Summer '22 episode, The Cultureverse reassembles after few weeks that saw the US turn upside down. We kick off continuing our conversation over the new MLS-Apple TV deal and which fans is this good for going forward. With the summer season quieter than usual, we take a look at which transfer moves have made an instant impact even before the Euro season starts. We've already seen Sadio Mane go to Bayern, Gabriel Jesus bringing new faith to Arsenal, and Gareth Bale will be taking his golfing and soccer talents to LAFC! In the 2nd half we take a look at the upcoming Women's Euro, starting Monday and our picks to win, we go into a shaky run for the USWNT that's seen more bad vibes than normal, and in 2UP/2Down we give a special commentary on the recent Supreme Court decisions, including the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and others also damaging to the public and especially people of color. We wrap up Prideteenth on June 30th!
