Customer Reviews
One of the best and consistent podcasts
This is probably my favorite soccer podcast. They are so consistent and record a ton of pods. They even record shows every night for Euros and Copa wrap up. Their chemistry is amazing. Love it!!
Your an idiot
i used to listen to every podcast; however, one podcast you called everyone who thought Greg Berhalter wasn’t the best candidate for manager of the US men’s team an “ idiot.”
i dropped your podcast like a bad habit and I have never been back. I do have to see you on FoxSports where now after being beaten by Panama it looks like Greg’s days are numbered
Never listening to you again
David
Not the US soccer spokesman.
Absolute garbage. Alexi never has anything of value to say. I’ve never understood how he can be one of the biggest voices of US soccer.
