Podcasts about Uel

It's a big week of ups and downs for the fellas (and Ffrauen!) in the brustring, so Matt, Ted, and Travis try to cover all the big news, from the frustrating loss at home to Porto in the UEL to the fantastic result at home versus RBL. Along the way the guys chat the big Frauen match versus Mainz, the form of Deniz, the role of Ata, the upcoming schedule, and of course the Irish holiday of St. Patty's Day in America ... a holiday that we think is ... um ... Irish ... we think...?

It's another odd match versus Mainz and why not bring back self-professed Mainz expert Rob! Rob, who has actually visited the place, flew back home just for this episode while Ted wanted to express his thanks to whoever came up with daylight savings time. Along the way they also find time to chat about the match that was - an unlucky/lucky draw - and that match that will be - the UEL match at home versus Porto - and try to figure out ... what's more important ... the UEL or the Buli? OR BOTH?!

#806 What if video games aren't just entertainment — but the foundation for the next generation's education, careers, and even professional sports? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Titus Walker, founder and CEO of the Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL), to explore how gaming is evolving into a massive global industry and a powerful platform for skill development. Titus shares his journey from real estate development into building what he calls the “UFC of gaming,” a multi-genre competitive league designed to identify the world's best all-around gamers while teaching real-life skills like decision-making, strategy, and hand-eye coordination. Together, Brien and Titus dive into the business model behind UEL, the growing opportunities within the gaming ecosystem, and why meeting the next generation where they already spend their time — inside video games — could transform both education and entrepreneurship! What we discuss with Titus: + Size of the gaming industry + Creating the “UFC of gaming” + Multi-genre competition model + Real-life skills from gaming + Path from gamer to pro + League monetization strategy + Partnerships with game developers + Gaming as education tool + Youth camps & skill development + Future of digital sports and careers Thank you, Titus!

#807 What if video games could become the gateway to future careers, real-world skills, and an entirely new generation of professional opportunities? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, the future of gaming comes into even sharper focus as host Brien Gearin continues his discussion with Titus Walker, founder and CEO of the Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL). The conversation expands beyond competitive gaming into education, workforce development, and entrepreneurship, exploring how video games can teach real-world skills like problem-solving, resilience, and even trade-based abilities through simulation. Titus shares how UEL is positioning itself as the infrastructure layer of the gaming ecosystem — a platform designed to connect gamers, developers, and communities while lowering barriers to entry through AI and accessible game creation. Together, Brien and Titus unpack the evolving business model behind gaming, the parallels to platforms like Spotify and Netflix, and why building purpose-driven opportunities around gaming could shape the next generation of careers, learning, and digital sports! What we discuss with Titus: + Gaming teaches real-world skills + Problem-solving & resilience + Gamified trade education + Lowering barriers to careers + AI transforming game development + UEL platform business model + “Spotify for gaming” concept + Building owned gaming infrastructure + In-person + online competitions + Overcoming gaming stigma Thank you, Titus!

It's episode 182 and Ted and Travis chat two big wins - a UEL win over Young Boys and a Buli win over Freiburg, both stressful in their own ways! We start off celebrating Nic Cage - as you'd expect! - and former #19's and then dive into the great start versus Young Boys and the great finish versus Freiburg. Along the way we tie in as many Nic Cage films as we can ... and as he's got over 117 to his name, we've plenty to choose from! So join us and "Get in the Cage" as we break down the Europa League and the derby-not-derby that is Freiburg!

It's episode 176 and we're ... all over the place. Michigan. OSU. Winter lagers. PodCats. Children who don't appreciate VfB. Advent calendars. And somehow ... after a while ... VfB. We chat VfBMTA and the weird UEL match that was and how the entire club - from top to bottom - performed admirably. Then we talk SVWVfB and the big Buli match that was ... and how SVW's hair was pretty much all we paid attention to. We chat eight different goal scorers, Deniz, El K, Jamie, Ata, Jeff, Demi, Alex, and, of course ... PodCat.Apologies for the intro and exit ... we ran out of free stuff on this platform!

Forgive the tardiness on the release, but we're here to talk halfway point of the Europa & Conference League league phases! The Europa League gave us quests for perfection and imperfection alike. The French, Scots, and Dutch had nightmare days, losing all over the continent and missing out on precious points. We spend more time on Nice's unbelievable winless run in the tournament — with plenty of stats to back it up — then delve into Scotland's persistent struggles in European competition. What's gone wrong for Scottish football? Is there any room for optimism? Meanwhile, Germany and Spain go 3 for 3, and Midtjylland (!) won their 4th consecutive UEL game to remain tip top of the table. We share out appreciate for the Danes, their exceptional roster of players, and their young coach who may or may not get a cheers at the end of the show. Not to be outdone, the Conference League delivered 2 stoppage time winners from Rayo Vallecano and Mainz (over the hapless Fiorentina) and 2 more stoppage time equalizers. We talk through the importance of those results and marvel at the madness of Lincoln Red Imps, Drita, and KuPS all sitting in knockout place at the league phase midpoint. All that, some table takeaways, and David's Coefficient Corner on this week's show! Cheers to Mike Tullberg!

It's another home match and that means it's another home win as VfB took on both a UEL and Bundesliga opponent during another busy week before the international break! And to help break it all down is long-time friend of the show David, who joins to chit chat all things VfB! He and Travis quickly look at the UEL win over Feyenoord (check out our collaboration with The Bundesliga Show for a more in-depth reaction here!) before diving deep into the match against (former) bogey team Augsburg. They chat VAR, a gritty win, and the comeback of several players before explaining why Julian Nagelsmann is, in their unbiased* opinion, a dumb dumb. And they talk holiday gifts!

As Maxi said post-match, the whole team deserved the MOTM award, so we decided to bring our whole team back together post-international break to talk the most recent VfB win, this one on the road and former bogey team WOB! We talk the guys that showed up big - Tiago, Maxi, and Angelo - and if there's still time for some of the other guys - like Chris and Ata - while celebrating some newcomers like El K and Lorenz. Along the way we take a peek at the upcoming matches, including yet another UEL match!

Ted and Travis chat up the last two matches for the boys in the brustring, the loss at Basel in the UEL and the win at home in the Buli. They cover the disappointing second match of the Europa League but spend more time - because positivity is key! - on the win over bogey team Heidenheim, a hard-fought, well-deserved victory that puts the fellas in a top four spot going into the international break. Which of course they whine about. Oh, and of course they ponder the big questions of the day ... like who would watch the NFL in Europe, especially when it's the Vikings and the Browns, and who in their right mind would import American beer for said game?!Make sure to catch our episode post-Basel on the Bundesliga Show: https://www.youtube.com/live/DKg1ppVcpFc?si=2oogS8Dmw3ghtkGA

GOLTV's Nino Torres goes Fully Loaded touring the planet on SDH AMWe look at the Europa League final, Sporting and their season in Portugal, and who not to mess with in South America...

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at how Hansi Flick's slightly surprising appointment at Barcelona last summer has turned into a masterstroke, and how the German has immediately brought the Blaugrana back to the top table of European football with a string of youngsters and some of the most exciting attacking football on the continent. There were question marks about Flick after his ill-fated tenure with the German national team, but his record at club level speaks for itself. And yet, when he was appointed at Barcelona to replace Xavi last summer, there were plenty who felt that this could be a step in the wrong direction for a Barcelona side mired in debt and already one step behind fierce rivals Real Madrid, who had just won La Liga and the Champions League, and then gone out and signed Kylian Mbappé, who was widely considered the best player in the world. But Flick took Xavi's possession-orientated philosophy and made it more direct, more streamlined; put his faith in the youngsters emerging from La Masia; and turned good players into superstars - all whilst staying true to his own brand of football and putting perhaps the boldest style of football in Europe on display for all to see. So was this a stroke of luck that the players matched his philosophy, or has the former Bayern treble-winner worked his magic again on another squad willing to do whatever he needs for them to get to the very top?

Hello Rank Squad! We have our Champions League finalists, after PSG joined Inter in the showpiece event by beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Parc des Princes to progress 3-1 on aggregate. The game might not have had the verve and sparkle of Tuesday's semi, but there was plenty to discuss all the same here on UCL Takeaway. Arsenal started fast, but couldn't find the killer blow to leave the tie in the balance - thanks to some particularly impressive goalkeeping once again from Gigi Donnarumma in the PSG net - and then Fabian Ruiz landed a killer jab of his own, striking home from the edge of the box after Arsenal failed to clear a set piece. Vitinha missed a (very harsh) penalty, before Achraf Hakimi made it 2-0 with a striker's finish, and whilst Bukayo Saka pulled one back and Arsenal had their chances to find a leveller, it was Luis Enrique's charges who saw the game out, with no finishing flourish from his former apprentice Mikel Arteta in the other dugout. We discuss the game, as well as where it leaves Arsenal ahead of this summer, whether PSG's transformation into the team we have seen in recent months makes them favourites for the final, whether João Neves is a N'Golo Kante regen, where Arsenal need to upgrade to reach that next level, and loads more besides. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Hello Rank Squad! After one of the most intriguing, exhausting, exhilarating semi-finals that the competition has ever seen, Inter will be in the final after finally dispatching Barcelona with a knockout blow, just moments after they had dragged themselves off the canvas themselves. 4-3 on the night, 7-6 on aggregate, this was one of the best games of football we have seen in many a long year, two sides who just traded punches for 210 minutes until a victory bell was finally rung, in favour of the home side. We discuss the momentum swings of a game that saw Inter take a 2-0 lead, before going down 3-2 with just moments to go, the late equaliser from the most unlikely of sources - Francesco Acerbi - before more drama in added time saw Davide Frattesi once more come up with the goods to send Simone Inzaghi's weathered old warriors to Munich - where they will face one of PSG or Arsenal. There's also some talk about what the future outlook is for a Barcelona side who have come a long way this year, and who perhaps just lacked a tad of experience when it mattered most, as well as why Inter feel like this could be there year to claim a long-awaited European crown - it's been 15 years since that famous night in Madrid. All that, and loads more, including Dean's experience watching Beckham & Friends on Paramount, on the show.It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Hello Rank Squad!That was absolutely breathless and chaotic, and so the podcast looking back at it is too. We try our best to get to the bottom of an anarchic game of football between Barcelona and Inter that started fast and got wilder from there, and one that ended with the two teams locked at three goals apiece. We discuss how Inter might well go home the happier side, even if Barcelona had the best of the chances; Lamine Yamal's dazzling performance in Blaugrana; the importance of Denzel Dumfries and Marcus Thuram's returns from injury; why the game played out as it did; how they could possibly replicate it in the second leg; the differing waves of emotion throughout the game - and of course, we rank the goals because that's what we do.

Hello Rank Squad! It's time for Champions League Takeaway here on Ranks FC, and our first episode of the semi-finals, looking back at the game between Arsenal and PSG in North London, where Luis Enrique's side came out the victors, taking a 1-0 win with them back to the Parc des Princes for next week's second leg. We discuss it all in great detail - looking at a mesmerising first 25 minutes from the Parisiens, as well as the way Arsenal dug themselves back into the game briefly, before PSG spurned some late chances to make their lead much more secure. We talk the role of Declan Rice, the absence of Thomas Partey, a star turn from Myles Lewis-Skelly, the brilliance of João Neves, Ousmane Dembélé's free-role and how he picked up space, as well as the difference in experience between the two managers, the atmosphere and how PSG quietened it down early on, and loads more besides. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at Juventus - who are currently one point off the Champions League places in Serie A, and have lost three league games all year, but who have just sacked manager Thiago Motta around 300 games into his tenure. Very few teams have drawn as many games as Juve this year, and coupled with decisive losses to Fiorentina and Atalanta in Serie A, coupled with disappointing exits to both PSV and Empoli in the Champions League and Coppa Italia respectively, the Bianconeri board have decided to abandon the project and turn to someone a little closer to home in Igor Tudor. But was this the right decision? Should they have tried to make a project last a little bit longer than three-quarters of a year? Are things going to go back to the Juventus DNA of Allegri? And is there someone else (Cristiano Guintoli) who should be taking a little bit more of the blame than he currently is? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

Hello Rank Squad! After 70 years domestically, or 54 years across the board, Newcastle United finally got their hands on silverware again this weekend, beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final to end one of the longest trophy droughts in English football, and doing it in some style. Big Danny Burn completed his incredible redemption arc and Alexander Isak got the match-winner as a lifetime of black and white suffering ended at English football's stately home.We discuss the joy of the celebrations and what Newcastle need to do next to use this as a springboard for future success, before turning our attention to other clubs in with a shot at ending their own barren spells this season. We discuss most of the teams left in the FA Cup, as well as Tottenham Hotspur in our segment on the Premier League clubs, before turning our attention to Europe - where Jack points out opportunities for Bologna, Stuttgart and Fiorentina in particular, as well as long shots for Stade Reims, Go Ahead Eagles and Rio Ave. It's Ranks!   And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at Brighton & Hove Albion, who are having an impressive season - but also one that's been permeated with strange results and odd streaks of form that have been up and down. On the verge of the Champions League places, things look pretty good under Fabian Hurzeler, who was brought in from St Pauli at the start of the season, who guided them to their best ever start, before going on an 8-game unbeaten run, then losing 7-0 to Nottingham Forest, and bouncing back with a four game win streak that has them looking well-placed for a return to European football. We look at a big summer spending spree, the new additions and how they've fitted in, tactical changes throughout the course of the campaign and where the future lies for a club who have made a habit of hitting the nail on the head with almost everything they've done in recent years. Is their Champions League chase an outlier in what has been a weird Premier League season, or should we be expecting the Seagulls' trajectory to keep going firmly in an upward direction?

It's time for The Truth!Dougie's back in business with Sam after a well-earned week off and it's a return with a bang as we turn our attention to Manchester United - always a behemoth of a topic, who are currently seemingly locked inside a battle with themselves. After a dreary start to 2025, questions are being asked of Ruben Amorim's stewardship, and if United have actually got worse since he took over. Now, to be fair, Amorim himself said when he took the job that things were going to get worse before they got better, but much of the fanbase was expecting more of an uptick in form five months in than what we've seen on the pitch, especially after defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup wiped out one of the two remaining options that United had for silverware this campaign. But is that criticism fair? Amorim has struggled to get this squad ticking, but there are mitigating factors - the players are taking some time to adapt to his system (those that can), whilst the most impactful players in this squad have been struck down by injuries just as things were taking an upturn for them. Is that enough though, to absolve him of fault? Should United ride out this storm, trust in their new manager and try to build something long term? Or have we already seen enough to suggest that this isn't going to work and that a change is needed before United get bogged down in another cycle not going anywhere?

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for Champions League Takeaway, your late night delivery following the action - following the first legs of the Round of 16, where we saw a lot of favourites come out on top, but perhaps not in the way we expected! Wednesday night saw Bayern's 3-0 demolition of Leverkusen - did Xabi Alonso overthink this one? - as well as Liverpool dropping an all-timer of a smash and grab job against PSG, where Alisson Becker gave a masterclass in the Redmen net. Barcelona also showed their versatility by beating Benfica with 10 men, whilst Inter were incredibly mature (and kept ANOTHER clean sheet) in a fairly routine 2-0 win over Feyenoord at De Kuip. In Part Two we move onto Tuesday's action, starting with a topsy-turvy Madrid derby that saw three wondergoals - and Real Madrid taking a narrow 2-1 advantage over city rivals Atletico Madrid - thanks to some magical footwork from Brahim Diaz. We also chat through Arsenal's demolition of PSG where the Gunners reloaded the ammunition tank to score seven after back-to-back blanks; Aston Villa's 3-1 win over Club Brugge where they were perhaps a little fortunate the scoreline looks so pleasant; and Dortmund dropping off to allow Lille to fight back for a 1-1 draw at the Westfalenstadion. It's Ranks!

Hello Rank Squad!Today we decided to take a look at the current state of the Premier League, which has had an exclusive winners club since it broke away from the Football League in 1992. Seven teams have won a 'Premier League' title since that time, and we wanted to take a look at who could become the eighth. (Yes, we know football didn't begin in 1992, but it makes for an interesting discussion...) Dean walks us through his top five contenders to join that winner's circle, discussing Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, and why each should look to the future with hope and optimism. Jack doesn't agree with them all, but that's part of the fun. Before we get into that, there's time to discuss the goings on from the FA Cup at the weekend - which Dean looks at through a personal lens, and the levels between Fulham and Manchester United throughout his life; whilst Jack is just excited that there's a real possibility we see a new name on the trophy this season. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
