It's the summer transfer window, so you know the rumors are rampant (1:35), but the main event for the FKWs is of course the Women's World Cup (6:20) where Andrea and Steven do a deep dive on last week's knockout round, including the much anticipated USWNT vs. France quarterfinal that had everyone collectively holding their breath. Out of obligation, Steven and Andrea cover the Gold Cup (22:25), in particular the USMNT's upcoming quarterfinal against Curaçao before they head to the most depressing Cup of the summer, the Copa America (25:55) and much to the wankers' chagrin, Colombia's elimination on penalties. They dabble in some MLS and NWSL updates before complaining about the heat and ultimately signing off until next week! Remember, you've got subs if you need 'em.
The Wankers are BACK. Apologies to our FKWs, all it took was the solstice to bring Steven and Andrea back together and spitting takes. Upon recent return from France, where Andrea enjoyed the Women's World Cup group stage, the Wankers discuss transfer rumor tea (2:20), the three major international tournaments keeping them indoors watching footy all summer: the Women's World Cup (14:14), the Gold Cup (28:58) and the Copa America (34:40) and VAR, the cruel mistress of the cup. And as always, you've got subs if you need 'em.
To say they feel blessed is an understatement, the Wankers are elated to welcome extremely special baller guest, Yael Averbuch, on the show this week. Listen in, as they deep dive into her experiences from youth development and US national team call ups, to dealing with ulcerative colitis flare ups and taking a break from playing with her NWSL team, The Reign FC. Will the USWNT win the World Cup? What exactly is #equalpay4equalplay? Yael answers these burning questions, but don't worry, the FKWs still play superlatives with their pro guest! Get a week free trial code for the Technefutbol app and up those skills! And remember, you've got subs, if you need 'em.
Guys, Steven got a man bun. It's tiny but it's there. Please stop telling the FKWs they didn't have an episode last week, they KNOW. It was a busy week for Steve and Dre but they're back with this minisode to catch you up on all of their fresh hot takes! Take a very shallow dive into the transfer rumors of the day, celebrate Colombians with a James Rodriguez hattrick, and mourn the torn ACL of our baby empanada, Juanfer Quintero, alabanza. Spurs have a new stadium, in which they can be destroyed by Manchester City, the gift that keeps on giving. The wankers talk Champions League Quarterfinals, FA Cup Semis, the Premier League title race and MLS cliffnotes style. 2019 is the year of the woman, and the Women's World Cup, so you know female intended play was lit, considering the Atletico Madrid women broke records in their match against Barcelona. And as always, you've got subs, if you need 'em.
Steven and Andrea are back on schedule fam! Tune in as they discuss Mario Balotelli's goal celebration, Gareth Bale's tantrum, and Turkish players literally cutting each other with razor blades. Hackney Wick are doing the Lord's work in the actual coolest kits, while Huffington Post is calling out nazis within the NYCFC supporters' culture. The FKWs cover Champions League, the heat on the Premier League title race, the MLS return and the #SheBelieves Cup, and tease an exciting upcoming guest! Remember, you've got subs if you need 'em.
MLS is back baby, and as a gift to all you FKWs out there, these wankers are dropping a super special episode with current New York Red Bull midfielder, Alex Muyl. Listen in for a behind the scenes look at what it's like to be a homegrown player, who on the squad is most likely to slide into your dms, and perhaps hear an especially dirty joke towards the end of the interview. Get hype for MLS, and remember, you've got subs if you need 'em.
The FKWs call this the "tired edition". After several long weeks of fixtures and travel, Broadway called and derailed the pod plans, so having to improvise, these wankers got together a day late and made it work. Lots to snitch about this week, but mostly Kepa taking over as manager for Chelsea, the reason Vardy always wears a cast, and a Brendan Rogers move back to the premiership. The episode includes a lazy roundup of all the footy missed, Champions League, Europa League, title race and some Concacaf Champions League. Recorded after a disappointing US performance in the #SheBelieves Cup, Steven and Andrea were not impressed but remember, like that assistant referee, you've got subs if you need 'em, unless you're Kepa Arrizabalaga in which case you refuse to take your subs.
After a two week vacation hiatus, the Full Kit Wankers are back and introducing the newest member of the pod family: Indy the Pod Pup. Right before the hiatus, your two favorite pod hosts had a guest segment on Soccer Afternoon Live and it slayed. If you hear Andrea and Steven talking baby talk, it's because a baby miniature dachshund has joined their discussion fully kitted up as a fullback for Dortmund. So many fixtures to discuss, so little time, as the FKWs go over previous EPL matches (Chelsea what's going on?!), Copa Del Rey classicos, the rise and fall of Borussia Dortmund, and the FA Cup. After taking the audio engineer on a surprise trip to London to see Spurs play Dortmund at Wembley, the Wankers gush over their live footy experience, and love on Heung Min Son some more (because what else is new). They're hype over Concacaf Champions League and a super special MLS related guest dropping on the pod next week! SheBelieves that we will win, but why are the Reign FC leaving Seattle? And remember, you've got subs if you need 'em.
Steven and Andrea record a super short and sweet minisode this week to gear up for massive upcoming fixtures and surprise travel plans! Listen is as they still go in on people who compare stadium attendances for the Superbowl vs. the MLS Cup, Alexis Sanchez' new film, Eden Hazard shocking everyone, and Jurgen Klopp bringing the salt. Player of the week? So very clearly the black cat at Goodison Park. Andrea is ecstatic over a Son game winner to give Spurs another 24 hours in 2nd place, Liverpool are bottling it, and Man City score a lot of goals, the EPL remains a faithful companion. The FKWs also go over results in La Liga, Ligue Un, and Bundesliga as well as a dabble in US Soccer. Eric Wynalda continues to defy the odds, and Timmy Weah is literally doing it for the boys in green. It's a World Cup year, so bet your bottom dollar the Wankers will be discussing women's soccer in female intended play in every single episode. You're welcome. And as always, you've got subs if you need 'em.
Midweek fixtures were so shocking they required a special delay in podcast release. These Wankers kick it old school, no guest, just the dulcet sounds of Andrea's singing and Steven going on about his fantasy team. Tune in for result recaps for the Carabao Cup, Copa Del Rey, the FA Cup, La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League matches from midweek. It wouldn't be a true episode if the FKWs didn't speculate on the end of the transfer window, and some other footy rumors floating around. Landon Donovan just won't quit, Heung Min Son is back from Asia Cup (praised be), and Fellaini's headed to China. Tottenham lose, lose, and then win! Man City win win and then lose! Truly the world is unpredictable, but at least one can always count on LLorente to miss an open sitter. Don't forget to leave a review in order to qualify for the upcoming giveaway (if you've already left a review, take a screenshot and dm it to the Full Kit Wankers on social media). And as always, you've got subs if you need 'em.
Steven and Andrea practice what they preach and used their sub in supersub and super guest James Colvin who joins the Wankers for some Lambrusco and footy gossip. James was the perfect Chelsea fan to discuss Maurizio Sarri throwing his players' determination under the bus, but the manager chat didn't stop there. Bielsa's powerpoint is bde 2019, Thierry Henry won't stop taking grandparents' name in vain, and Huddersfield sack David Wagner. This January transfer window has proved endless, but Barcelona's signing of Kevin Prince Boateng has certainly made it fun. The FKWs cover latest Premier League results, including a thrilling Wolves versus Leicester clash, as well as Milner being sent off by his old schoolteacher. LLorente not only fails to fill Harry Kane's shoes, but seems to have placed his boots on the wrong foot, as the Argentine nearly wrecks Tottenham's chances only saved by lil Harry Winks. Real Betis is lit, PSG keeps winning, Weston McKennie's better than Christian Pulisic and Timmy Weah's a celtic star. The US Women's National Team fell to a buoyed France, and the real treat of the episode comes in at the tail end: a special interview with Brandi, founder of San Diego Soccer Women. And as always, you've got subs, if you need 'em.
A late Merry Christmas to Steven, as the FKWs are joined by Cosmos fanboy, and Copa90 presenter Patrick Infurna. The Wankers talk rumors: Zlatan throwing Ronaldo some shade, Marcelo Bielsa's Spygate frank admission, some paper chase including Everton's mind-boggling interest in Michael Bradley, and Timmy Weah slaying it at Celtic. They had a lot of English footy to catch up on including FA Cup 3rd round games, Pete Wild's heroic run as the Oldham manager, the League Cup semifinals' first round and Premier League fixtures. It's finally time to get back to 'Murica and see what in Sam hell is going on in our own backyard, touching upon the Atlanta Silverbacks, Tyler Adams' precious post match interview, and upcoming friendlies in late January. The segment everyone waits for, female intended play, is all about that NWSL draft, and how much someone needs to #freeskyblue which leads them into a heavy Wankers Weigh In, giving the idea of inclusivity in fan culture some thought. And remember, just because it's a new year, doesn't mean you can't take your subs, if you need 'em.
The last of the Full Kit Wanker Holiday specials! Happy to be in 2019, the Wankers are joined by renowned tattoo artist, bar owner, and fox in the box, Alex McWatt to discuss the last gasp of festive fixtures and most importantly, whether Bellerin is going to start a fashun line or not. It's transfer season, so you know "paper chase" is on everyone's minds. Pulisic to Chelsea, Mbappe to everyone, Keylor Navas has no standards, and Malcom is a hot commodity in China, to name a few. New Year, same Everton, Spurs make up for last week, Manchester United are on the uptick and of course the FKWs discuss the match of the season potentially: Manchester City vs. Liverpool. Send in your recommendations for future guests you'd love to hear on the pod, and as always, you've got subs if you need em.
It’s the last time you’ll hear Andrea mispronounce names in 2018! For this special, the wankers are joined by Harsh Mall, die hard Manchester United fan, and attendee of the World Cup final 2018. Just because it’s the holidays, doesn’t mean there isn’t gossip, and between the January transfer window, and Memphis Depay’s new single, there’s much to discuss. Pulisic to Chelsea devastates, while Brisas opening two new franchises elates the crew. Andrea, Steven and Harsh all bemoan the racism in Serie A and the despicable behavior from the Afghan FA president towards his female players. Festive fixtures are still in full throttle, as the weekend’s matches brought all the drama. Tottenham lived a glorious 3 days in the title race before bottling to a hungry Wolverhampton team while Man City seem to have finally found their form after a slew of bad results and end up back in their rightful second place. Bobby “no look” Firmino destroyed Arsenal in minutes, will we get #Unaiout trending soon? N’golo Kante remains the most hardworking player around, while Pogba is positively freed if you go by his goal celebrations. After sufficient Premier League banter, the Wankers, Harsh, and honorary segment guest, Alex McWatt, all give their top footy moments of 2018. Happy New Year to all of our FKWs, stay tuned for 2019, and as always, you’ve got subs, if you need ‘em.
The Full Kit Wankers are not worthy of the guest they had this week. Colombian International player, Melissa Ortiz, joined us in the undisclosed location to spit takes. Our first female guest did not disappoint, as finally Andrea felt emboldened to discuss her inappropriate crush on Jurgen Klopp. Chisme is their identity as Parceros, and the three didn't hold back when it came to Pele's comments disparaging Messi, and Dembele's inability to arrive on time to practice. December means almost too many fixtures, and the Wankers zip through Premier League results, La Liga standings and the RivierDerby in order to get to the really exciting stuff: the MLS Cup final and the Women's World Cup 2019 draw. Congratulations to Atlanta or as they like to be called, MLS 3.0, and even more congratulations to Ada Hegerberg, the first female Ballon D'or winner. Female Intended Play has never seen so much love as the FKWs had a professional female footballer in their midst and they got the inside scoop on what it's really like to play professionally in Reykjavik, and for your national team's federation. And as always, you've got subs, if you need 'em.
Josh Guerra, co-founder of The Five United, joins the Wankers to discuss his latest project; a documentary on New York's oldest club, SC Gjoa. Hear Andrea and Steven disagree on whether throwing trash on the field is cute, as well as more hot takes on "Super League" and Der Spiegel's latest soccer leaks. The FKWs and Josh rank their top 3 MLS players, discuss fixtures from the Carabao Cup, MLS playoffs, Premier League as well as the ladies' Champions League round of 16 second leg. Don't forget to check out The Five United, and be sure to send us your thoughts to Fullkitwankerspodcast@gmail.com. As always kids, you've got subs if you need 'em.
International break means heartache for Full Kit Wanker Andrea, as she mourns the lack of club play, but joy for Steven as they both dive into UEFA Nations League, and other International Friendly fixtures of the week. Stay tuned while the FKWs grapple with their half Colombian pride and deep adoration for James Rodriguez' curler all the while discussing what the US Men's National team need to move forward and Wayne Rooney deserving "manager of the year" for what he's done with D.C. United. As always, they gush over the US Women's National Team and their gorgeous attacks and the Wankers weigh in this week on #save the crew and how the crew was saved!
