Weekend Review: Man City dominate the derby, Real Madrid's surprise ending & snow in Utah!

Manchester City are favorites to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup - and you wouldn't put it past them to win them all. However, winning a second consecutive treble would be completely unprecedented. Can Pep's team do it all again? And if not, what is stopping them?

The Big Thing: What should we expect from Inter Miami and Leo Messi this season?

It was the type of Champions League match week that makes Graham Ruthven say, "Meh." But never mind that because the rest of us are excited to talk about this week's matches, including Napoli and Barcelona trying (and maybe somewhat kind of succeeding) to get their respective seasons back on track, PSV failing to take their chances versus Dortmund, Inter Milan generating some "they could actually go all the way buzz," and Arsenal and Porto playing 50ish minutes of actual soccer. Plus, the debut of Joe's Concacaf Champions Cup Corner.

We take a look back at this week's Champions League knockout round fixtures, and answer the big questions like can Leipzig find a way back into the second leg with Real Madrid?

Champions League review! More problems for Bayern, a worldy for Madrid, PSG find a way to win, and City keep on keeping on

The whole gang is here to answer your questions!
1) Do we you see any CAF or AFC players getting a significant move after their performances in their respective tournaments?
2) If a mid-tier MLS team played in this year’s AFCON, how far would that team get?
3) Which MLS team would we like to see Jurgen Klopp take over in a hypothetical scenario where he wanted to coach in the U.S.?
4) Why do we (let’s be honest, Taylor) feel so passionately about Jurgen Klinsmann’s time in charge of the USMNT?
5) Who has been better for AC Milan this season: Rafael Leao or Christian Pulisic? 
6) What are our worst takes ever?

Weekend Review: Ivory Coast and Qatar triumph; statement wins for Leverkusen & Real Madrid

On this week's Big Thing episode, we revisit an old friend: Jurgen Klinsmann. With his South Korea side now eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup, we look back on the team's performance at the tournament itself, how things have progressed (or not progressed) with Klinsmann in charge, and what's likely to happen next as the country's Golden Generation misses a chance for silverware. Were South Korea fortunate to even make it as far as the semi-finals? Were there signs of disgruntlement with Klinsmann before the tournament? How similar are the current complaints against Klinsmann to those when he was in charge of the USMNT? Oh, and also, who will win the Asian Cup final this weekend? Those questions and more, answered for you... while Taylor tries not to go off on a rant on multiple occasions.
