Studio Allsvenskan gästas idag av agenten Michael Kallbäck, grundare av agentbyrån Neverland Mangement som idag representerar toppspelare i de allsvenska topplagen. Vi pratar bland annat om hur han tog Nikola Djurdjic och Vladimir Rodic till Bajen, hur det är att förhandla med Jesper Jansson, Bosse Andersson och Daniel Andersson. Hur går en spelaraffär till? Hur mycket får agenten betalt? Att ha Hasan Cetinkaya som mentor, om det verkligen är ett farligt yrke som Alexander Axén hävdade i en intervju, att representera unga spelare, att Yura Movsisyan är rik som ett troll, att det är sjukt att Riccardo Gagliolo inte spelar för svenska landslaget och att Granen har barrat för länge sen.

Studio Allsvenskan gästas av Djurgårdens skyttekung! Ja, han är faktiskt det just nu. Nyförvärvet Marcus Danielson har inlett säsongen strålande med två mål och riktigt bra mittbacksspel. Förutom skyttekung så kanske han också får smeknamnet ”Ekonomen” då Marcus berättar att han pluggat ekonomi samtidigt som han spelat fotboll. Det är helt klart en skarp mittback som gästar studion. Vi pratar känslorna efter derbyt och att Özcan Melkemichel tog in Marcus Danielson innan derbyt och motivera varför han inte fick spela. Vi pratar också om att Kerim Mrabti är Djurgårdens viktigaste spelare offensivt och så frågar vi om hur det är med hans lårskada. Vi pratar också talang och att ha drivet som krävs att nå toppen och att Hampus Finndell i Djurgården är. Marcus förklarar också varför han valde Djurgården före andra klubbar i Sverige och utomlands. Att han är kusin med Hammarbys David Fällman och att de hade tät kontakt i januari och februari när båda skulle byta klubb. Vi snackar också om den stenhårda konkurrensen mellan Djurgårdens fyra mittbackar och att han kanske är trea just nu men på väg att slå sig in i startelvan. Vi frågar Marcus vad han tycker om alla skador som drabbat Allsvenskan under våren och vad han själv gör för att undvika skador. Och här glider vi in på en mycket intressant detalj som Marcus och 6-7 andra spelare i Djurgården gör innan träning. Djurgårdens nyförvärv Yura Movsisyan kommer också på tal. Hur bra är han egentligen och vad är han bra på? Vi pratar också om matcherna som kommer nu mot Malmö i Allsvenskan och sedan finalen i svenska cupen.

Studio Allsvenskan är tillbaka med en ny supervecka. Vi sammanfattar helgens matcher tillsammans med Sirius verbala mittback Jesper Arvidsson. I veckans första avsnitt får domarna sig en rejäl omgång kritik. Vilken nivå håller domarna i Sverige? Vad kan man säga till en domare? Skulle Djurgården haft straff i derbyt och var det rätt att visa ut Yura Movsisyan. Vi passar också på att hylla fansens tifo för det var mäktiga scener vi såg på läktaren innan derbyt drog igång på Friends Arena. Men vi pratar givetvis också om Malmös två kryss i rad, Östersunds självbild, Henok Goitoms betydelse för AIK, Nahir Besaras fina match i Palmernas stad, Elfsborgs hajpade tränare Jimmy Thelin, Sirius tunga vinst, att Häckens Viktor Lundberg troligtvis blir omgångens spelare, DMK:s fina form i Peking OCH hur det går i Fantasy-ligan. Mycket nöje! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Studio Allsvenskan gästas av BK Häckens sportchef Sonny Karlsson. Men innan vi går djupare in på Häcken pratar vi om helgens matcher i Allsvenskan. Vi hyllar Pekings stora bortafölje, att Jens Gustafsson var het vid sidlinjen, Birros sms-konversation med Patrick Winqvist efter Djurgården-Trelleborg, att Jimmy Thelin fortfarande inte lever upp till hypen, att Dalkurds Mohamed Buya Turay börjar betala tillbaka direkt och att Östersund har fått en riktig mardrömsstart. Klarar Östersund av att vara favoriter? Uppenbarligen inte! Och just nu är det mest fokus på fel saker. Tillbaka till Sonny Karlssons Häcken. I avsnittet pratar vi om hur han värvade över Diego Lugano, att han och Bosse Andersson snackade om Gustav Engvall och Bristol City under upptaktsträffen. Sonny Karlsson avslöjar också att Häcken var ute efter Djurgårdens Yura Movsisyan innan det blev Mostafa El Kabir. Vi tar också upp spelare som Irandust, Joel Andersson och att sälja till Malmö FF trots att Häcken inte vill sälja till andra allsvenska klubbar. Vi pratar också om kassakon Gothia Cup som ALLA andra supportrar är avundsjuka på. Framförallt Göteborg. Vi surrar också om varför man inte förlängde med Mathias Ranégie och om det finns någon kontakt med AIK:s Ahmed Yasin nu. Vi tar också upp Daniel Larsson som Sonny hoppas på vänder hem till Häcken redan nästa år. Vi pratar också Andreas Alm och målsättningen att ta SM-guld inom 5 år.

Manuel Veth, Andrew Flint and Tim Bogdachev were able to interview Yura Movsisyan following Real Salt Lake’s game against the Whitecaps on Saturday. They speak about Movsisyan’s story, his journey to Russia and his return to Major League Soccer. Finally, they also break down CSKA Moscow’s 2-1 victory over Benfica.

The Armchair Analyst is rested and ready for his return to the ETR lineup, and just in time too because there's plenty to talk about after an MLS weekend that saw David Villa hit the 50-goal mark, Josef Martinez make a triumphant Atlanta United return and the Fire establish themselves as the only real contender to Toronto FC. Oh, and there was drama, too. It's been a tough few months for Real Salt Lake. Three points via a Yura Movsisyan goal were huge, but it was the forward's finger-to-the-lips celebration that got people talking. Was it directed toward Mike Petke? The guys break it all down, and even dive into a few transfer rumors. Are Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris actually BFFs (best friends forever)? The answer, after sitting down the pair, is a resounding yes. You won't want to miss an exclusive interview with two of MLS's top young players, in which they discuss their sleeping habits on the road (it gets a little weird), what it feels like to be an MLS Cup champion and what they do to improve every single day. And while they're teammates now with the Sounders, both hope to link up when the US national team gathers for the Gold Cup this summer. Roldan takes you inside his decision to pursue a future with the US, while Morris explains how he deals with the pressure that follows him wherever he goes. In the mailbag, it's rumor time. Would Andres Guardado be a good fit for LAFC? What about Jakub Blaszczykowski to the Fire? And could Sporting KC lose Erik Palmer-Brown after this season? Plus, an ode to Brek Shea's naming abilities. Want to share your own Father's Day stories, odes or memories?

After months of buildup, we’re almost there. Decision Day looms, and the guys are busy trying to figure out the best way to watch 10 games at once without missing any action. In the Western Conference, three playoff spots are up for grabs, and the biggest game on the docket seems to be Seattle hosting Real Salt Lake with one of the two guaranteed a spot – and perhaps both in the field should other results go their way. Yura Movsisyan calls in to discuss the mounting pressure, his permanent MLS move and the evolution of the league and RSL. Then it’s Supporters’ Shield talk and mourning for Mauro Diaz. Out East, the field is basically set, but seeding remains in flux. It matters where you finish. Like, a lot, according to Andrew’s research. Will Toronto FC or New York City FC skip the Knockout Round? Can D.C. United get a game at RFK? Will Didier Drogba be extra jacked to prove himself after Joey Saputo put out last weekend’s fire in Montreal? What about Philly? Are they destined for a quick exit, or might Jim Curtin put a charge in his troops? In the mailbag, Darlington Nagbe’s USMNT future is in flux, a listener wonders what MLS matchup an international-audience would find most intriguing, plus someone floats a Kei Kamara-to-Seattle trade that Matt doesn’t see happening.
It was a weekend of high-profile returns in MLS as Didier Drogba and Jermaine Jones’ goals helped fuel wins for the Impact and Rapids. Calen Carr also makes his return to ExtraTime Radio as nature and family scatter the normal ETR crew across the country. Calen and David hit all the hot topics from the weekend, including the Red Bulls’ continued woes, FC Dallas's big Western Conference win and so much more. Only one team in MLS remains unbeaten. Real Salt Lake’s Yura Movsisyan checks in to chat about playing for some of the biggest clubs in Russia, playing for the Armenian national team, the decision to return to MLS, how Jeff Cassar's direct style plays to his strengths, and what it’s like playing with Joao Plata and Burrito Martinez. In the mailbag, the guys get the Coach of the Year conversation going (a tad early) and hear from some FC Dallas fans in England.
An epidemic of #CCLfever gives MLS fans chills and aches after the opening legs of the MLS-Liga MX CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. But hope is not yet lost! Strong performances from D.C. United and Real Salt Lake in Mexico leave them within touching distance ahead of the home legs, but will they do it? Can they? On the flip side, Seattle and LA both drew at home. What must they focus on in the second leg to make history? Plus, the guys break down Jordan Morris's professional debut, we finally see what the big-name Galaxy have in store and whether Yura Movsisyan is the big-time goalscorer Real Salt Lake hope he’ll be. In the second segment, it is finally time to gear up for the 2016 season! With all 20 clubs to preview, the guys take their first crack at the bunch. Chicago, Philly, New York City FC, RSL and Houston are up first. What will Gilberto do in a full season for the Fire? How will NYCFC's three stars fit together? Can a healthy Joao Plata get RSL back in the playoffs? You’ll get four fast-and-furious minutes on all six, with more to come. It’s a curtailed mailbag as Andrew channel’s Herm Edwards’ time-management skills. The CCL anthem has brother and sister songs elsewhere, including perhaps the ultimate N64 theme song.
While the third and fourth rounds of the MLS SuperDraft went down via conference call, ESPN’s Taylor Twellman joined Andrew, David and Matt for a wide-ranging MLS discussion that included the former Revs and USMNT’s striker’s New Year’s resolution, Jordan Morris’ potential MLS future, the Rapids’ pursuit of a certain US national team goalkeeper, the rebuilding project going on in Los Angeles and uncertain MLS fates for Jermaine Jones and Didier Drogba. Of course, there’s plenty going on outside MLS. Notably, the USMNT’s January camp is ongoing, and Matt puts 2016 – Olympic qualifying, Copa Centenario and World Cup qualifying – in context. More importantly, what’s up with Morris’ rumored Sounders signing after leaving Werder Bremen? Where does he fit in and what does it mean for Seattle? Plus, thoughts on what are the Chicago Fire are up to, Yura Movsisyan’s 2016 goal haul and a Costa Rican international linked with New York City FC. In the mailbag, a certain Red Bulls’ player (of the past) created a stir on Craigslist, and MLS’s biggest Hungarian fan chimes in on Sporting KC’s newest signing and Krisztian Nemeth’s MLS future.
