⏰ LAST CHANCE — Sign up to the CATW Newsletter before WEDNESDAY to claim your FREE Chelsea Fixture Calendar at https://catwpodcast.comThe wait is almost over. Simon and Manny deliver the definitive Chelsea season preview, packed with bold takes, honest predictions, and the kind of unfiltered analysis that only Chelsea Against The World brings. After a summer of upheaval, a new manager, record spending and genuine optimism, it is finally time to put predictions on the record.The hosts open with a review of Chelsea's final pre-season outing — a convincing 3-1 win over Real Sociedad that offered genuine encouragement about where Xabi Alonso has this squad heading into the opening weekend. The shape looked better, the intensity was there, and for the first time this summer Chelsea looked like a team with a clear identity rather than a collection of expensive parts.Then the transfer talk that refuses to go away. Pedro Neto has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and the Enzo Fernandez saga rumbles on with no resolution in sight. Simon and Manny break down both situations, assess what each departure or retention would mean for Alonso's plans, and give their honest predictions on how it all ends before the window slams shut.And then the main event — the predictions. Where do Chelsea finish? What is realistic in the cups? Who wins the Premier League? Who goes down? Golden Boot? First manager sacked? Simon and Manny hold nothing back and put their reputations firmly on the line with takes that will have the comments section on fire before the first whistle even blows.
Fozzy, Tom and Watto are back with their Premier League predictions for the new season — and there are some BIG calls.
On this week's episode of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are back in person and getting stuck into one of the best parts of pre-season… making wildly confident predictions that will definitely come back to haunt them by May.The lads run through their 26/27 season predictions, including who they think will lift the Premier League trophy, who makes the top four, who takes the Golden Boot, Golden Glove, which big-money signing could flop, and which players are set for a breakout season. There are some big calls too, with Arsenal backed by some of the lads, Manchester United tipped as genuine title challengers, and Liverpool surprisingly left out of one predicted top four.We also get into the summer transfer madness, including Morgan Rogers' huge £117m move to Chelsea, Elliot Anderson's £116m switch, West Ham's retention of Jarrod Bowen and Spurs bringing in Sandro Tonali. The lads debate whether £100m has effectively become the new normal in football, and why the modern game seems to be producing fewer kids who actually want to grow up and be strikers.Elsewhere, we discuss West Ham's decision to permanently ban half-and-half scarves, discover a bizarre half-and-half calf tattoo, and hear about the legendary Zante goalkeeper who lets holidaymakers take penalties against him for a euro.Oh, and there's a Peter Crouch tune.

In this episode, The podcast is officially back in full cooked mode after the World Cup break, and this week's episode is basically a travelling circus that's lost all supervision.We're straight back in the trenches of absolute nonsense, kicking things off with the original Jack3d formula and the OxyShred ingredient saga — aka the era where everyone was basically speedrunning mystery chemicals and pretending it was “just pre-workout”.We run through what's on this weekend, celebrate our long-overdue pokie redemption arc (despite clearly not learning a single lesson), drop the August podcast schedule, argue about the best season of the year to go out and completely ruin your life, and unpack the universal menace in every group chat — the bloke who orders the one drink that makes the bartender visibly question reality.We also dive into whether zero alcohol beer deserves to exist on planet Earth, the new Zyzz documentary and its impact on gym culture delusion, Matt King becomes Blues coach, Danny Weidler the man that no one can escape, and the burning question absolutely nobody asked but somehow needs answered… do you have to be attractive to be a female traffic controller or is confidence enough?The racing boys are back in full chaos mode too, breaking down the latest horse jump-outs and the Everest picture, where the horses are still “considering their options” like it's a group project nobody wants to start.Then we wrap with a full-blown La Liga 2026/27 season preview — relegation predictions, top six chaos, top four locks (apparently), who lifts the trophy, and who bags the Golden Boot. We also go through the biggest transfers, departures, clubs on the rise, clubs in freefall, and the young guns who are one good highlight reel away from being called “the next big thing”.Another episode absolutely dripping in questionable takes, delusional confidence, sporting brain rot, and conversations that make you wonder how any of this got recorded, let alone published.Strap in — it's fully cooked.Stay up to date on our socials @coastalsportspod(0:00) Intro(0:35) The Original Jack3d Formula & OxyShred's Meth Ingredient(4:59) What's On This Weekend?(8:13) Our Pokie Redemption Arc(11:36) August Podcast Schedule(17:20) The Best Season of the Year for a Night Out(19:52) That One Mate Who Orders the Weird Drink in a Round(25:05) Where Does Zero Alcohol Beer Rank on the All-Time Bin List?(30:12) The New Zyzz Documentary(31:39) Matt King Named New Blues Coach(32:38) The Danny Weidler Curse(35:40) Do You Have to Be Attractive to Be a Female Traffic Controller?(38:34) Recent Horse Jump-Outs(39:05) No Horses Locked In for The Everest Yet(42:10) La Liga 2026/27 Season Preview(43:39) Relegation Predictions(48:39) 6th & 5th Place Predictions(51:56) Top 4 Predictions & Champions(1:07:15) Golden Boot Predictions(1:09:29) Signing Off
Episode 312AIt's a different kind of Front Porch episode this week as we wrap up one incredible journey while sharing a personal one.❤️ Front Porch Check-In I open up about my latest Type 2 diabetes update, how my new medication has been affecting me, and why I felt it was important to talk not only about the victories but also the difficult and sometimes uncomfortable parts of living with diabetes.
Send us Fan MailThis week I'm breaking format for a special Maester Athletes episode, built around this year's World Cup 2026 of soccer. I tell the story behind the photo that went viral right before the match — Lionel Messi bathing a baby at a charity event almost two decades ago, a baby who grew up to be Lamine Yamal, the very player who faced him on the pitch. I dig into why I never doubted that photo was real (it's all about who you trust as a news source), why the hug between Messi and Yamal after the final is the most Project Weight Loss moment of the entire tournament, and what Kylian Mbappé's Golden Boot run — plus his answer about "collective spirit" in his Wall Street Journal interview — can teach us about discipline, joy, and showing up for our own goals without blame or shame.I also walk through the real research behind why some people stick to their goals and others don't: Gollwitzer and Sheeran's 94-study meta-analysis on implementation intentions, a British Journal of Health Psychology study on exercise follow-through, and why motivation and information alone are never enough without a plan and regular self-monitoring. If you're working your own Project Weight Loss — on your body, your relationships, or your work in the world — this episode gives you the if-then framework to get back up fast when you slip, the way these athletes do. Share it with someone who needs to hear it this week, and don't forget to write down your own if-then plan.Quote of the Week: "To never stop dreaming, it's something free. Of course you have to work. Of course you have to do, like you said, sacrifice. But the most important thing is you have to dream. You can be young, you can be old, you can be whatever you want, but everybody can dream. And that's something free, and that's something that gives you the power and the patience to do the things after." — Kylian MbappéCitations & Links:· Kylian Mbappé, "Kylian Mbappé Knows He's Too Competitive," The Wall Street Journal / WSJ.

Messi haters had themselves a weekend. We break down the FIFA World Cup Final, Kylian Mbappé stealing the Golden Boot from Lionel Messi in the third-place match, whether a $150,000 World Cup championship ring is worth it, and why Argentina continues to be one of the most polarizing teams in soccer. We also react to the chaotic halftime show, Shakira once again delivering a World Cup anthem, and Trump's headline-stealing trophy presentation. Then it's on to Fanatics Fest, where the Giants somehow managed to embarrass themselves twice, Tom Brady's awkward "beef" with Logan Paul, and whether Greg Sankey is serious about the SEC breaking away from the NCAA. We also discuss Caleb Miller's NSFW lip reading after an umpire interfered with a play, whether anyone will ever reach 3,000 hits again after Nolan Arenado reached 2,000, Adam Silver admitting the NBA schedule is waiting on LeBron James, where LeBron could end up next season, the WNBA blocking Sophie Cunningham from profiting off her viral pointing meme, and a Minnesota brewery's ranch dressing-flavored beer. Plus, beer reviews, golf outing shenanigans, and plenty of the random tangents you've come to expect from Craft Brewed Sports.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros cap off their 11-city Breakaway Tour with an electric live reaction show immediately following Spain's 1-0 World Cup Final victory over Argentina. The hosts dissect a defensive masterclass from La Roja, who neutralized Lionel Messi and held Argentina to zero shots on target across 120 minutes of play. The guys break down the game's turning point—Enzo Fernández's second yellow card for dissent—and Ferran Torres' dramatic extra-time winner just 30 seconds into the second half of extra time. They also marvel at Spain's historic achievement of conceding just one single goal across eight World Cup matches. The conversation turns to post-match awards as the hosts analyze Rodri earning the Golden Ball, comparing his quiet, game-controlling influence to sports legends like Shane Battier and Sergio Busquets. They touch on Unai Simon taking home the Golden Glove after only needing to make 10 saves all tournament, as well as the debate over Kylian Mbappé's Golden Boot title following a wild 10-goal third-place exhibition match. From Shakira's halftime performance to Kermit the Frog's surprising appearance, the guys review all the viral moments from the historic final. Finally, Christian and Alexis hand out their official 2026 World Cup grades, debating the merits of the expanded 48-team format and reflecting on how the tournament brought fans together across host cities.

In this energetic live reaction episode of The Cooligans broadcasting straight from a venue in Boston, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros deliver immediate analysis following France's clinical 2-0 victory over Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinals. The guys break down a complete, poised, and deeply unified French squad that currently looks a notch above tournament heavyweights like England and Argentina. They marvel at the incredible maturity and selfless play of Kylian Mbappé, whose dynamic run set up Ousmane Dembélé's fifth goal of the tournament to lock down the victory. The hosts dive into the jaw-dropping stats surrounding this historic French team, noting that they are the first nation since Brazil in 2002 to feature two individual players with five or more goals in a single World Cup campaign. They contrast France's elite tactical output with a highly compact, lackluster performance from Morocco, placing a "stock down" tag on abysmal defensive outings from fullbacks Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui. The conversation then shifts to the dramatic subplot of the Golden Boot race, where Mbappé and Lionel Messi sit tied at eight goals apiece following Argentina's miraculous, highly controversial 3-2 comeback win against Egypt. Finally, the guys look ahead to the next massive quarterfinal clash on the bracket: Spain versus Belgium. Christian and Alexis dissect Luis de la Fuente's tactical setup for Spain, praising the standout tournament performances of Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzábal, while analyzing whether Kevin De Bruyne can pull off a masterclass to keep Belgium's run alive. They close out the stream by taking fan comments from the live chat, discussing Nico González's viral post-match tattoo, and celebrating Swiss-Dominican hero Ruben Vargas.
