Episode 137: It’s Coming Home, Just Not To England

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes prepare for the final match in what has been a scintillating World Cup. France’s composure proves too much for Belgium’s Golden Generation. It may have been one game too many for England as their young squad are seen off by Croatia’s experienced midfield. Cristiano Ronaldo attempts to steal the tournament’s thunder with his transfer to The Old Lady, but winds up being a blip on the radar. Also, Hamilton’s Canadian Premier League team is unveiled as Forge FC.

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes recount World Cup 2018’s super sweet Round of 16. France and Brazil seem to be finding their next gear, Uruguay capitalize on their chances, and the swashbuckling Japanese meet their match in Belgium’s “Golden Generation”. Russia offer up the biggest shock of the tourney so far, but will they get cut apart by Croatia’s talented midfield? Also, Sweden see off the Swiss, and England finally shake the bogey and win a penalty shootout.

Episode 62: Big Sam’s Big Mouth and Our Macramé Anniversary

Posted on by

_63339285_allardyce

Wherein Our Heroes perform the first Quadruple Segment for your auditory pleasure as Sam Allardyce can’t save his job with England. West Ham are in a world of hurt after yet another abysmal performance, with crowd noise being pumped through the PA at London Stadium to bolster the atmosphere and late-night tomfoolery rampant among the players. Atlanta United FC secure a manager with arguably the most impressive curriculum vitae in MLS. Also, Jamie Vardy’s pre-match diet is pretty much disgusting.

Episode 59: D’Oh Canada!

Posted on by

canada

Wherein Our Heroes share their knowledge of Canadian civic nomenclature, Team Canada fail to qualify for the “Hex”, and our dreams of seeing the Maple Leaf at a FIFA World Cup must wait another several years. We are havin’ Megan Rapinoe’s right to take a knee during the Star Spangled Banner, Leicester players choose to differentiate their four-wheeled gifts, and England’s players need a weekend at a Tony Robbins symposium – Big Sam clearly needs more time. Also, we offer a post-mortem on the Bachelor in Paradise finale.

Episode 49: Portugal. The Men

Posted on by

Portugal1

Wherein Our Heroes recap Europe’s quadrennial showcase by offering kudos to Portugal and their yeoman-like effort in both the group stages and the Euro 2016 Final. Ronaldo’s tears turn from those of desolation to cocky joy; does this give him a leg up on Messi? Did France’s best show up for the ultimate match after carrying a whole nation on their epaulets? We salute the young players who turned heads, Ricardo Quaresma’s olive branch haircut, and the Irish supporters who brought the craic in droves. Also, we continue to question whether the 24-team format adds anything other than too many draws.

Episode 45: The Young Gaffers Euro 2016 Spectacular, Part 1

Posted on by

1966143_s2

Wherein Our Heroes are joined by Brendan, Wielder of The Whistle of Never-Ending Substitutions, to discuss prognostications and predictions for Groups A, B, and C. We think France could be magnifique in front of their home supporters, wonder if Wayne Rooney will spell doom for England’s attacking three, and feel Thomas Müller is a candidate for das Golden Boot. The new tournament format is titillating, Wales may surprise, and the Swiss likely won’t miss. Also, Mario Gómez and his slick locks may just prove decisive for Germany.
