The Defeat of the Losingest Losers

Twas the Night Before World Cup

Discussing World Cup is actually kinda depressing when you live in the politically embarrassing USA. But we do our best, despite getting sidetracked with gripes about rule changes, blatant racism, and TicketMaster.

The Defeat of the Losingest Losers

Last time was all about winning, but that takes effort and skill and sometimes even luck, so this time around we figured it would be good to celebrate (or at least discuss) defeat–and doing so on Easter Sunday? Why not!

V is for Vuvuzela – see also: Victory

Yes, this is a soccer podcast and we've somehow discussed "victory" for an hour and never once mentioned the film starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and Pelé. Based on that fact alone I would consider this episode itself to be an absolute victory. But yeah, we talk winning the whole enchilada.

Oh Boy Oh Boycott (World Cup Edition)

Where to begin with our first episode since the holiday break. With the political climate in the US being what it is, we discuss the murmurs of a potential World Cup boycott – the who, the what, and the why. Fingers crossed everything goes off without issue, but we probably wouldn't bet on it.

Sitting On the Couch, Playing Soccer, As One Does

This episode is all about soccer gaming. No, not soccer the game or the game of soccer, but soccer gaming as in soccer video gaming, soccer board gaming, or pretty much any form of soccer that can be enjoyed without necessarily going outside or much physical exertion. We talk FIFA franchise, 2K Sports, Commodore 64 International Soccer, Pele on Atari 2600, the rather obscure (in America anyway) Sensible Soccer, and a whole lot more.
