This week on The BIG LIFE, Leah and Kate sit down with Mizzou senior midfielder Keegan Good, who's balancing Division I soccer with a pre-med track and plans to become a plastic surgeon. (Yeah, she's that impressive.) Keegan opens up about her unconventional path to college soccer — skipping the big-name club scene, grinding through ID camps, and carving her own way to Mizzou. She talks leadership, injuries, and how tearing her ACL tested both her identity and mental strength. Now in her senior year, Keegan's perspective is all about balance — pushing herself on the field while chasing big dreams in the classroom. Her story is equal parts resilience, ambition, and heart — a reminder that your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

Forest are back in Europa League action, but can new manager Ange Postecoglou get his first win? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Wolfie is here to gear you up for Thursday's Europa League showdown at the City Ground, where Ange Postecoglou's Reds host the Danish powerhouse FC Midtjylland in what could be a turning point after five winless games. Midtjylland come in flying high after a 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in their opener, boasting a clinical attack led by Franculino Dju's nine goals this season, but Forest's home advantage and Ange's continental pedigree make this a winnable fixture—Wolfie shares his thoughts on how the Reds can finally break their duck and build momentum. Wolfie dives into his predicted teamsheet: expect a bold 4-3-3 with Igor Jesus spearheading the attack after his Betis brace, potentially edging out Chris Wood for a start to inject pace into Angeball's high-pressing transitions—will the Brazilian's finishing fire earn him the nod? Will Zinchenko be kept at left back or would Ange be tempted to switch him to a midfield role? How do you see this one playing out—a gritty 2-1 Forest win to give Ange his first triumph, or will Midtjylland's set-piece threats expose vulnerabilities?

Can Ange Postecoglou get his first win as Nottingham Forest manager? Lots of Forest Prizes To Win! For Only 39p! https://win.footballprizes.co.uk/forestfftv Wolfie is here to look ahead to Saturday's Premier League showdown at the City Ground, where new manager Ange Postecoglou makes his home debut still searching for that elusive first win after a mixed bag of draws and defeats. With Forest sitting 15th and Sunderland impressively seventh with eight points from five games, this fixture is a must-not-miss—Wolfie breaks down the stakes, from Angeball's potential to shine under the lights to the Black Cats' strong second-half scoring threat that could test the Reds' resolve. Wolfie dives into his expected team lineup, weighing who should start for the Reds: Igor Jesus looks guaranteed to lead the line after his stunning brace in the 2-2 Europa League draw against Real Betis, marking Forest's first European goals in 30 years and putting him ahead of Chris Wood for now. Midfield maestro Morgan Gibbs-White could pull the strings, with Douglas Luiz anchoring, but the big question is the defence—will Murillo be back fit after recovering well from his knock against Arsenal, boosting the backline alongside Morato? Neco Williams impressed at Burnley, so expect him to hold the right flank. #nffc #sunderland #premierleague Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On today's episode of the podcast, we discuss the Arsenal midfield. While we've started the season with a few injuries, it feels like at times we've struggled to find the perfect balance between competing physically and providing sufficient creativity from that area of the park. We'll talk Rice, Zubimendi, Merino, Odegaard, Norgaard, Nwaneri and more.

On this episode, Patrick and Ted open with the Manchester Derby as City defeat United 3–0, but who should really be worried? Jeremy Doku delivers his best performance, yet City's problems remain while United's defensive structure continues to collapse. They then move on to Juventus' 4–3 win over Inter in a Serie A thriller, Arsenal's more direct style with Zubimendi, Eze, and Gyökeres, and Aston Villa's struggles under Unai Emery. The conversation shifts to the importance of set pieces, how clubs train them, and how to get coaches to buy in. Finally, Hansi Flick warns about overplaying Lamine Yamal, the need to protect young players, and bold ideas for football's rules and competitions close out the episode.
