Vi kom även in på den galna tränarkarusellen i toppen av Serie A, att man sparkade Thiago Motta innan säsongen var över, att man fortsätter med Igor Tudor åtminstone över Klubblags-VM samt transfermarknaden.   Stöd gärna podden du med, bli patron: https://www.patreon.com/podcastjuventusclubsvezia   Intro/Outro Podcast Juventus Club Svezia, skapad av: Roger Myrehag - Oboogie Music

Was bleibt vom SC Freiburg ohne Christian Streich? Natürlich: Spieler wie Vincenzo Grifo, die den Verein über Jahre geprägt haben. Dabei fing alles ganz klein an, auf einem Bolzplatz in Pforzheim, wo Vincenzo Grifo bis zur A-Jugend im Verein kickte und plötzlich den Traum vom Profifußball erlebte. Felix und Tobi haben sich mit dem italienischen Nationalspieler unterhalten. Über gefälschte Christian-Vieri-Trikots, Christian Streich, einen Autokorso vor der Haustür und Küsschen von Giorgio Chiellini.

Inconnu au bataillon de nos sélections nationales, il intègre tardivement le noyau élargi des Diables, avec comme première mission celle de gratter la qualification pour l'Euro Espoirs, en barrage face aux Tchèques. Il évoque la tactique italienne, Virgil Van Dijk, les gondoles, les questions à poser à Kevin De Bruyne, la gestion de la pression, Arthur Theate, le tacle défensif et les millions du rappeur Drake. Mais aussi le SCUP Jette, un 4-0 à San Siro, Mandela Keita, le vaporetto, Giorgio Chiellini, le petit Heysel avec les Mauves, ses cours d'économie, Romelu Lukaku et la mode à l'italienne. Et forcément… la Place Saint-Marc de Venise. Joël Schingtienne (Espoirs Belgique, Venise) passe « Sur Le Gril ».

Episode 324 is (finally) here. LAFC got back to their MLS schedule but left their offense somewhere along the way as the Houston Dynamo came into BMO and knocked off our boys, 2-0.  LAFC got off to a slow start, made even worse by Ezequiel Ponce's header to give the visiting side a 1-0 lead into the half. Steve would switch to a 4-3-3 in the second half, but it would do little to stem the tide. Lawrence Ennali did his best Sonic the Hedgehog impersonation as he flew by Ryan Hollingshead and Eddie Segura, made one touch to round Hugo Lloris, and softly tapped in his first MLS goal to double the lead. That would be all Houston would need, and, unfortunately, all Ennali would contribute, as he tore his ACL later in the match. Also on this episode, the LAFC Unified Team takes the pitch at BMO for the first time, Kike talks about next year, and Filly and Scarf figure out who the heck starts and could make the 20 for our next match in Houston. Enjoy Episode 324!

Voice of LAFC Max Bretos and trusty co-pilot Steve Beitashour dive into another busy week in which the Black & Gold advanced to the knockout rounds of Leagues Cup 2024.

In the second portion of the show, former LAFC great Giorgio Chiellini chops it up with Max about his time in LA, what Giroud can expect in his time with the club and how the league can continue to attract top quality players.

This week Max Bretos and Jordan Harvey get you ready for LAFC's return to action. Will the the team extend its five-game winning streak and continue their historic goals against record? Big road trip in Orlando and Austin awaits. Giorgio Chiellini joins the show to discuss his role in player development at LAFC and previews Euro 2024, a tournament he won only three years ago.

Thank you to all of you out there who have supported us, listened to us, said nice or not-so-nice things about us, fueled us, and otherwise been there throughout any part of this journey. We can't wait to hit 400 with you soon!LAFC took a trip to beautiful Cashman Field to take on the Las Vegas Lights in the 2024 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32. As we have been known to do this season, the boys in Black and Gold made it tougher than it needed to be, conceding another set-piece goal. Ultimately, however, some timely subs and a solid second-half effort saw LAFC pull one out, 3-1, behind a late brace from Kike Olivera and the first LAFC tally for Kei Kamara. Abraham Romero played well in his first start for LAFC. Aside from their suddenly-congested MLS schedule, LAFC must now ready themselves for another USL-foe, Loudon United, as the Open Cup moves to BMO on May 21. Between now and then, we will have MLS matches against both Vancouver and St. Louis, so stay tuned for lots of Filly and Scarf here on Defenders!

To kick things off Alexi Lalas and David Mosse give a shout out to a couple FOX Soccer colleagues, Carli Lloyd announced she is expecting this November and Giorgio Chiellini as he joins the crew for Euros this summer. Over in Europe, the UCL semi finals begin. Vinicius Junior's opening goal was a sensational one for Real Madrid, and Dortmund secured a first leg win behind Niclas Fullkrug. Haji Wright also continues to shine in England with his 19th goal of the season. (7:21) The guys then break down the CONCACAF Champions Cup where Pachuca stamped their spot in the finals. MLS also continues with an Inter Miami and NYRB top of the table clash, and the Sounders look to stay hot against west coast rivals. Will we see Mexico star Chucky Lozano in San Diego next MLS season? (24:20) In #AskAlexi, Mosse and Alexi answer a pair of questions on Christian Pulisic's best position, right wing or left wing, and where the USMNT would finish if they played in Euros. To wrap the pod, they discuss the announcement of the US Soccer Federation and Mexico Football Federation withdrawing their host bid for the 2027 Women's World Cup.

Il BSMT è passato da Los Angeles e non potevamo non fare una chiacchierata speciale con uno dei più amati e temuti difensori del calcio europeo. Ebbene sì, Giorgio Chiellini è passato dal BSMT. Giorgio Chiellini, nato il 14 agosto 1984 a Pisa, è stato un difensore centrale italiano di spicco e lo scorso dicembre, dopo due anni con la maglia del Los Angeles FC, ha annunciato il ritiro dal mondo del calcio, lasciando per sempre un segno nel cuore di milioni di tifosi che seguono con passione questo sport. Ha trascorso gran parte della sua carriera alla Juventus, vincendo nove campionati italiani, cinque Supercoppe Italiane e cinque Coppa Italia. Ha anche guidato la Nazionale italiana alla vittoria dell'Europeo del 2021 e ha incarnato l'ideale del calciatore completo, laureandosi con lode in Business Administration all'Università degli Studi di Torino. Gli anni con la Juventus, le vittorie con la Nazionale, la possibilità di giocare con campioni del calcio mondiale, il fine carriera a L.A. e l'addio al calcio. Con Giorgio abbiamo ripercorso tutta la sua straordinaria carriera, confermando ancora una volta il suo essere un vero campione, sia sul campo che fuori. Buona visione!

Giorgio Chiellini war einer der kompromisslosesten Verteidiger der vergangenen 20 Jahre. Bei Juventus Turin wurde er zum Titelsammler, seine Zeit in der Nationalmannschaft krönte er mit dem EM-Titel 2021. Doch auch neben dem Platz hat Chiellini einiges zu bieten. Das ist seine Geschichte. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen? Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.

Season 7 is upon us, and our first match of the new year sees us staring down a familiar foe, the Seattle Sounders. Hugo Lloris is Black and Gold, Eduard Atuesta is BACK in Black and Gold, and Carlos Vela still isn't in Black and Gold. But one thing remains the same: LAFC does NOT lose season openers!The match began with another banger of a tifo by The 3252, proceeded by Giorgio Chiellini himself as the match's Honorary Falconer. Jordan Morris wasted no time in welcoming Hugo to MLS, as Lloris needed to make a huge save just minutes into the match. For most of the next hour, LAFC was on the front foot, and goals from Timothy (Himothy?) Tillman and Mati Bogusz on either side of the halftime whistle saw the home side off to a 2-0 lead. Things got interesting after a Seattle penalty kick saw the away side pull within one, but the Sounders never really mustered much more of a threat. LAFC wins the season opener, 2-1! Also on this episode, here's hoping Scarf's theory on Carlos Vela is better than his score prediction, Filly keeps receipts on MLS pundits, and the boys sport retro kits for the first time in several seasons. It feels so good to be back, so please enjoy Episode 289 of Defenders of the Banc!

The boys are back! Both LAFC and the Defenders have finally begun things in 2024. On our maiden 2024 voyage, the boys talk three things: Preseason matches, players we've signed, and players who have left. Yes, Maxime Crepeau is gone. So is John McCarthy, Kellyn Acosta, Diego Palacios, Giorgio Chiellini, and many other depth pieces. But, oh baby! Eduard Atuesta is back from Palmeiras, David Martinez and Tomas Angel join the attack, and Omar Campos will be playing the role of Chiqui in 2024! And oh by the way, Hugo Lloris will be between the pipes. Yes, the same keeper who won World Cup in 2018 and almost did it again in 2022. The season starts in 8 days, our kit drops in 24 hours, and this episode is out NOW! Enjoy Episode 288, and look for our kit rankings episode coming soon!

It's Episode 286, and on this episode, LAFC finally brings home a trophy! It's not quite the one we were hoping for, but don't worry! We play for that in just 7 days! LAFC is on to the MLS Cup Final after defeating Houston in the Western Conference Final, 2-0!A near miss by Carlos Vela and a stunning cross from Hector Herrera punctuated a very entertaining first 10 minutes or so, but then LAFC's defense went to work, stifling Houston for the remainder of the first half. Just before the halftime whistle, a perfect Carlos Vela corner finds the head of Giorgio Chiellini. His initial effort was saved, but playoff goal scorer turned hero Ryan Hollingshead was there to put it away to give LAFC the lead just before halftime. In the second half, Houston certainly had a lot of the ball, but nothing to show for it. LAFC's defense put up yet another goose egg, but not without the help of Ilie Sanchez taking a ball off our own goal line. A late own goal provided the margin as LAFC clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Final!It's on to Columbus!

The Seattle Sounders: Jordan Morris, Cristian Roldan, Raul Ruidiaz, Nico Lodiero, Nouhou, Yeimar, Joao Paulo, and Brian Schmetzer. Lumen Field. Turf. Ted Unkel. Chris Penso. The deck was stacked with reasons why LAFC shouldn't win. Why LAFC shouldn't advance to their third Western Conference Final in our 6-year history. Why the Black and Gold faithful would be rueing another missed opportunity. Well, somewhere along the way, nobody in Black and Gold got the memo as LAFC wins an absolute nail-biter, 1-0, on the road at Lumen Field, over the hated Sounders! LAFC will host the Western Final at BMO on Saturday, December 2nd!Denis Bouanga did it yet again, scoring in the 30' for the match's only goal. From minute one through the end of the 8 minutes of second-half stoppage time, LAFC's defense, led by Maxime Crepeau between the pipes, Giorgio Chiellini at center back, and a huge play by Timothy Tillman, put on an absolute masterclass. What a match!Also on this episode, former LAFC players make their mark on this year's MLS Cup and USL Playoffs, the young kids of LAFC2 and the Academy make their mark on a few youth national team camps, and Filly apparently tries hard NOT to make marks on his nice pants while watching the match. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and we hope you enjoy Episode 285. It's one of our favorite episodes of the year!

THE MAX CREPEAU GAME! This one had everything: Giorgio Chiellini getting turf burn, a Bouanga Blast for the ages, and Max Crepeau saving our ass for the second playoffs in a row. We fouled a bunch. We wasted a lot of time. We played ugly, ugly soccer. And because of that, we beat Seattle in Seattle for only the second time in our teams history, and for the 3rd time in 6 seasons, LAFC is going to the Western Conference Finals, BABY!!!! Macklemore sucks!!!!!

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League chat, and World Cup chat. Vancouver Whitecaps 2023 season came to a controversial end on Sunday in a 1-0 home playoff loss to LAFC. A number of contentious decisions on the pitch and some fireworks off it have certainly seen the game set tongues wagging. We look back at the main talking points, chat about Vanni Sartini getting sent off and then going off at the referee after the game, and hear some postgame thoughts of Vanni, Ryan Gauld, and Brian White. Plus we look at the rest of the MLS playoffs in the MLS Western Conference, hear from Italian legend, LAFC's Giorgio Chiellini. We also look back at a good weekend for sporting crowds in Vancouver. Are bumper attendances back and will this have an impact on Whitecaps kick off times next season? We ask Axel Schuster.

Inside LAFC Podcast Ep. 94 - Giorgio Chiellini by LAFC

Just a few short matches ago, we here at Defenders of the Banc were lamenting the lack of scoring, with the number of minutes without a goal reaching into the 400's. Turn the page just one week, and LAFC seemingly can't stop scoring, with 5 in their last match and now 4 today in our win at Austin. Denis Bouanga strengthen's his grip on the Golden Boot while LAFC strengthen's its grip on the #2 spot in the West, and you can hear all about it on Episode 281!LAFC raced out to a 4-0 lead, as Timothy Tillman and Cristian Olivera scored on either side of a Bouanga brace. WIth 15 minutes to go, LAFC got sloppy, allowing a goal from a set piece before a stoppage time header from... Giorgio Chiellini, of all people, to give Austin their second goal of the match and final goal at home for the year. A 4-2 win that Steve still has plenty to talk about? Perfect. Also on this episode, Filly eats an entire head of broccoli. Not cooked, not covered in cheese, not even salted or peppered... just... raw. Scarf almost chokes, we read our tweets live on air, and we bid farewell to Messi, Carson, and Wayne Rooney. It's Episode 281, and it's a good one!

The season started with such optimism: Trophies to play for, history to make, and records to break. Yet here we sit, nearing the end of September and the end of trophy-winning opportunities, and we have absolutely nothing to show for it. In what has been a frustratingly familiar refrain in 2023, LAFC loses to another Liga MX club with a trophy on the line. This time, it's the Campeones Cup at the hands of Tigres, and in the worst way possible: on penalties. LAFC was pummeled out of the gate, as Tigres brought their aggressive style to all parts of the pitch over the first 18 minutes of the match. But as the match wore on, LAFC wore their bruises like badges of honor and began to stem the time and punch back. Coming out of the locker room at the half with a renewed sense of hope, LAFC began taking it to Tigres, until the 63rd minute.In that fateful minute, Chiqui Palacios would earn his second yellow of the match, resulting in a red and LAFC going down to 10 men. But from that moment, LAFC actually played... better! Stiffening their resolve, LAFC continued to take the fight to Tigres. If not for a second touch off a restart by Giorgio Chiellini, LAFC would have walked away with Campeones Cup after a 78th-minute goal. But alas, though the soccer gods did even the sides at 10 men a piece, they were unkind in PK's. LAFC would have two of their chances saved from the first four while Tigres would net all of theirs, and for the third time this season, we see a trophy slip out of our grasp.Also on this episode, we check in on Cifu, playing in three different competitions in Scotland, Scarf reveals his mafia ties and Oreo eating habits, and Filly makes up new words and phrases while reminding the world that Drew Fisher sucks. Come share in our frustration here on Episode 278 of Defenders of the Banc!

We lost the Campeones Cup. The match was pure chaos. We had multiple red cards, multiple fights on the pitch, a late shorthanded goal was called back, and it was decided in PKs. Insanity. There's a lot to be disappointed and frustrated about, and the live chat called it out thoroughly, but LAFC also showed a ton of fight and hung with a perennial Liga MX heavyweight in Tigres til the bitter end. We discuss the good, the bad, and the ref, who was astoundingly awful. Like, truly, incredibly bad. The table remains tight. #wefsbewackJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Subscribe to Vince's LAFC substack.Follow Vince on Twitter.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

LAFC traveled to St. Louis for the very first time in club history, poised for a showdown against current West #1 St. Louis City SC. While Scarf (and Apple TV) hoped for a high-scoring affair, it turned out to be a defensive struggle in the Show Me State. It's a pod about a 0-0 game! Woo!Tested early, Maxime Crepeau made four big saves to preserve the shutout. Several LAFC players had solid chances, but the highlight of the night was the bicycle kick by Giorgio Chiellini that wasn't just on frame but forced a solid effort by Roman Burki. The match might have been 0-0, but it was certainly entertaining. Also on this episode, Scarf brings up Hello Kitty, regrettably so. We explore all the lineup options moving forward, we wish a very happy birthday to our friend Liz, we look ahead to a "Getting to Know You" pod about Tigres, and we brace ourselves for what me a Filly and all the voices in his head pod after our next match, a weekend tilt in Philadelphia. Enjoy 276!

The dream of the full '90 died in Portland. Darren and Vince take the reigns after a loss in Portland so depressing and thorough that Travis, an LAFC fan trying to enjoy any woods at all, was forced to take the L too and was stripped of his internet connection. But that also set the bar high for Darren and Vince to descend further into darkness than "millennial stuck alone in the woods with no internet," so they let Heel of The Foot Geoff Tock come on and liken state of the season to euthanizing a pet, and that took care of that. They also cover The Bogusz Bright Spot, the team's inability to play from behind, the failed possession game experiment, whether the transfer window was officially a failure, and a whole lot more. Dive into the darkness with us and we'll find the light together! Maybe!

Episode 262 - No Ferreira, No Problem As Dallas Wins 2-0LAFC looked to get back on the right side of things as they head to take on a Dallas club decimated by injuries and international duty. After a perplexing loss to Vancouver, this couldn't have been a better time to take on Dallas... right?Wrong. Despite missing Jesus Ferreira, Paul Arriola, Obrian, and others, Dallas took over the second half (after Chiellini and Tillman came off), kept LAFC at bay, and walked out of the sweltering humidity of Frisco with a 2-0 win. 7 losses in 10 matches is the prelude to Carson at the Rose Bowl. LAFC falls to second in the Western Conference as questions must get louder about a true 9. The transfer window looms, and we need bodies and rest. Also on this episode, it's Scarf who rants against the antiquated MLS as we get set to play 33 matches by July 15. Yes, that's a record by a WIDE margin. We also take time to remember Chris "Spanto" Printup, founder of Born x Raised and beloved Angelino. Rest well, Spanto. 

Not one, not two, but three special guests are on the Max + Vince Podcast this week. Max is away on vacation, so Katia Castorena of ESPN Deportes joins Vince to host the show. They start with a chat on LAFC's recent form through the most congested part of the season. Katia shares her thoughts on why LAFC's blip in form now could serve them come the end of the season. Vince and Katia share their thoughts on the 3-2 loss to Vancouver before changing gears to talk Leagues Cup. The new tournament between MLS and Liga MX kicks off at the end of July and already things are getting spicy. Katia tells us what Liga MX players and fans think about the tournament. Finally, we welcome LAFC defender Denil Maldonado to the show to talk about settling in with LAFC, the passion for football in Honduras, and learning from Giorgio Chiellini with a special appearance from the man himself!

Episode 255 may be the toughest one yet here on Defenders of the Banc. No match was more important in our club's history than this second leg of the 2023 CCL Final against Leon. We had them at home, at BMO, at a place we've staunchly defended for 6 years. We needed just one goal to level things and take control of the series. And we had Denis Bouanga, Carlos Vela, a healthy Kellyn Acosta, an un-suspended Jesus Murillo, and... wait... is that Giorgio Chiellini?! It is!However, despite the talent, the desire, and maybe the best support The 3252 have ever provided, we didn't have the goals. LAFC failed to find the back of the net in leg 2, falling 1-0 and 3-1 on aggregate. Club Leon is the 2023 CCL Champions. On this episode, we try to help you navigate through the hurt and the grief. We ask questions of Steve and Cifu, throw praise at McCarthy and Denis, and wonder what could have been. Walk with us on the journey that is Episode 255, and know that the next one is just around the corner!

Vancouver. We even go around the panel debating who should play in our new game: Start or Sit! Which player outside the XI will have the most impact in the final? How many goals will Denis Bouanga have? Will either Jesus Murillo or Giorgio Chiellini be healthy enough to play? And how many Hello Kittys will make an appearance on the Superpod?!? You'll have your answers to all these questions and more as we await the two-legged final vs. Leon! Enjoy the Superpod!

Here on Episode 243, the Black and Gold travel to Nash Vegas to take on Walker ZImmerman and Nashville SC. LAFC would start a heavily rotated lineup while leaving Timothy Tillman, Aaron Long, and Giorgio Chiellini off the roster completely, searching for a point in Music City. The home side would strike first, as LAFC struggled to clear the ball out of their own box. Reigning MVP Hany Muhktar pounced on it and slotted it past the defense for a first half lead. With Walker Zimmerman coming out after 55' due to groin tightness, the entire tenor of the match changed, and it was time for LAFC to do the pouncing.Just 4 minutes after Walker's departure, Stipe Biuk's steal set Denis Bouanga free, and the star striker blasted it past a diving Joe Willis to level the match after about an hour. Despite both sides having ample opportunities over the course of 90' to find another, the match, perhaps fairly, ended in a draw. Also on the episode, the boys get off the rails. Several times. We also congratulate Dax McCarty and Noah Dollenmayer, on the very opposite ends of their respective professional journeys. Filly dislikes Ted Unkel. A lot. Scarf introduces Filly to Ted's wife. And video! We have video! Enjoy Episode 243!

Why do teams keep gifting goals to St. Louis City SC?  MLS' newest expansion franchise can't stop winning, but it seems like their opponents might be trying to help. MLS Season Pass studio host, Jillian Sakovits, joins the Cooligans to discuss SLSC's good fortune, plus Giorgio Chiellini's first MLS goal, new ownership in Nashville, and the inaugural edition of 5-a-side.  Exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/SoccerCooligans This is where we put everything we shouldn't say
