The boys are back with a HUGE episode as the biggest stories in football collide
Is Kylian Mbappé the problem at Real Madrid? It's a question that would've sounded ridiculous a year ago—but now, with no major trophies since his arrival and his former club continuing to dominate in Europe, it's a conversation fans can't avoid. We also dive into whether Harry Kane has emerged as the unexpected Ballon d'Or favorite and break down our picks for who will actually win the Champions League as the semifinals approach. Then we're joined by Sophia Wilson for a wide-ranging conversation that goes beyond the pitch. She explains why she intentionally leaves soccer at the door when she gets home, how that mindset keeps her grounded, and how becoming a mother has reshaped her perspective as both a player and a person. We also talk about her competitive edge, her calm demeanor, and her new partnership with Mondelez, the makers of snacks like Chips Ahoy and Ritz. Fans can head to ScoreSnackGoals.com or scan the QR code on limited-edition CHIPS AHOY! products to enter. Finally, Kaylyn Kyle joins us in studio to break down one of the wildest weeks in MLS. From Javier Mascherano's unexpected departure from Inter Miami CF to Nashville SC's historic win over Club América at Estadio Azteca, we ask the big questions: Is Inter Miami the hardest coaching job in MLS? And could BJ Callaghan's stock be rising fast enough to put him back in the USMNT conversation—this time as the full-time head coach? Timestamps: (12:00) – Is Kylian Mbappe the real problem at Real Madrid? (26:00) - Harry Kane the new Ballon D'or front runner? (36:00) – Sophia Wilson joins The Cooligans (47:30) - Is being Inter Miami's head coach the hardest job in MLS? (1:08:30) - Nashville make history: BJ Callaghan the future for USMNT?
