That means Ryan, Steve, and producer Sam take up the mics this week to talk about the Burn's revolving door in midfield, why it has/hasn't worked, and what they think might be the best practice going forward for the Toros in the pitch's center.It's game preview time after that and what a game is coming to Toyota Stadium.

A matchday that promised so much left us with most of the big questions unanswered following stalemates in the crunch clashes at either end of the table, but still delivered plenty of cracking goals and talking points for us to chew on. We begin at the Toyota Stadium for the battle of the (then) top two, with both teams taking the lead but then pegged back, Yokohama F.Marinos maintaining their four point buffer over hosts Nagoya (to 14:20), but seeing their lead over (now) second-placed Kobe reduced to three points after Vissel won at Niigata on Friday night. We then round out the top four with Urawa's goalless draw at home against FC Tokyo (to 33:40), before shifting to the foot of the table and the Battle of the Bottom at Hitachidai, and then rounding up the rest of J1 Matchday 20 (to 1:08:05). We finish the episode with a look ahead to some of the intriguing battles on Wednesday's Emperor's Cup third round slate, and pick out some games to watch in the weekend's Matchday 21.

Dan Hunt is no stranger to the professional sports industry. His father, Lamar Hunt, was key to the establishment of professional sports in the U.S. He founded professional leagues and owned many teams – notably the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) and FC Dallas (MLS). Dan inherited his father's passion, working with him to make Toyota Stadium a reality and Frisco, TX a premier destination for both professional and youth soccer. In 2018, the National Soccer Hall of Fame opened in connection with Toyota Stadium, honoring the history of soccer but unmistakably focused on the future. If Hunt has his way, part of that future will include hosting 2026 World Cup tournament games in that stadium here in DFW. He's part of a bid committee made up of elected officials, business leaders, and sports franchise executives lobbying FIFA for North Texas to host as many as six matches of the 2026 World Cup – including the final. Seventeen other cities are also contending for the ten or eleven North American locations to be chosen. Cementing hope that DFW might be a top contender, tournament delegates recently toured the city of Fort Worth, AT&T Stadium, Fair Park, and the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco. Why would this be so significant? The World Cup is the world's most celebrated tournament; the final match would put North Texas on the world's stage and mean hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

It's college football bowl season, and around these parts, that means one thing: It's Bowlapalooza time!   Not familiar with the drill? It's pretty simple. A few years back, Carla and Crappy thought it would be fun to dedicate a show to the bowl games that don't get the same kind of attention as the New Year's Six games or BCS/CFP games. And that's a shame, because that's where most of season's fun resides. So we grab some friends and pick the games that catch our attention for whatever reason, no NY6 or CFP games allowed (C&C will get to those in subsequent shows).   This was the season of the guest host, and we invited them all back to participate. Besides Carla, Crappy and A.J., this year's lineup included the following college football luminaries: Nubyjas Wilborn, Gabby Biltz, Kelly and Aidan Krieg and Jake Rose.   The games? There are many, many games:   Noon Friday, Dec. 17, the Bahamas, ESPN Bahamas Bowl, Middle Tennessee vs. Toledo Are there really any losers in the Bahamas Bowl?   2:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 20, Conway, SC, ESPN Myrtle Beach Bowl Presented by Tax Act, Old Dominion vs. Tulsa Don't sleep on the Monarchs, people.   8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22, Fort Worth, Texas, ESPN Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, Army vs. Missouri Could Army beat an SEC team? In this case, yes.   3:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 23, Frisco, Texas, ESPN Frisco Football Classic, North Texas vs. Miami (Ohio) Did you know there are two games in Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas? Crappy didn't until we got to this one. The other one – and the one that A.J. actually wanted to talk about – is below.   7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 21, Frisco, Texas, ESPN Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl, UTSA vs. No. 24 San Diego State Meep meep, boys and girls.   5:45 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 29, Orlando, ESPN Cheez-It Bowl, No. 19 Clemson vs. Iowa State Dabo's found some coordinators, but the Clemson schadenfreude is STILL off the charts for this game.   11:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 30, Charlotte, ESPN Duke's Mayo Bowl, North Carolina vs. South Carolina Does Duke's go with Tar Heels?   Noon Friday, Dec. 31, El Paso, CBS Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, Washington State vs Miami It's grrrrrreat! Unless you're talking about the 2008 Sun Bowl.   Noon Saturday, Jan. 1, ESPN 2 Outback Bowl, Penn State vs. 21 Arkansas Do we finally get to see a healthy Penn State?   9 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 4, ESPN Tax Act Texas Bowl, LSU vs. Kansas State Mumble mumble go tigahs mumble mumble wildcats mumble open the pool mumble mumble lotta purple mumble mumble.   Your assignment for the next two and a half weeks: Watch ‘em all. Because it truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Enjoy your bowl season, boys and girls, and check back as we get closer to the end of the year, when Carla and Crappy dig into this year's version of the College Football Playoff.
