Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the weekend’s standout performers (05:38). Matt Turner delivered a clutch clean sheet for Palace, and Paxten Aaronson bagged a match-winner against Feyenoord—but will his red-hot club form earn him a bigger role with the USMNT (08:48)? Meanwhile, Richy Ledezma’s recent displays spark a debate: has the PSV man done enough to merit a national team call-up (14:09)? The guys tackle Weston McKennie’s surprising deployment as a left back under Thiago Motta. Is his versatility a blessing or a curse—and how can Mauricio Pochettino maximize the Juventus star (24:35)? Then, a quick USMNT center back temperature check (37:38). Plus, Charlie weighs in on the USMNT roster, addressing the discourse around which players should be calling into January camp (48:34). Finally, the crew discuss whether MLS has a responsibility to develop more creative American players (58:30). 🗳️🫡 MONDAY IS THE DEADLINE: Please support the show by voting for Call It What You Want in the Sports Podcast Awards in the "Best Team Podcast" category: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-team-podcast/ Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Julen Lopetegui being sacked by West Ham and replaced with Graham Potter (01:22), before moving on to this week’s EFL Cup semifinals. They start with Spurs’ 1-0 win over Liverpool (05:27), where Ange Postecoglou and Arne Slot were as unimpressed as the rest of us with the VAR stadium announcement. They then move on to Newcastle’s win at Arsenal (15:24), with a lot of love for Alexander Isak, how Arsenal could really do with a player like him and whether the League Cup or Champions League qualification is more important for Newcastle long term. Finally, there’s shout-outs for Nottingham Forest, Milan’s Supercoppa win, and more.

Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola (we miss you, Chuck!) analyze Mauricio Pochettino's defender-heavy roster for the USMNT January camp, and defend the often-criticized practice of providing MLS players with national team opportunities (03:30). AC Milan are off to an impressive start under new manager Sérgio Conceição, highlighted by a Supercoppa Italiana victory in just his second game. The guys explore how the managerial change is showing early signs of being great news for Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah (28:33). Antonee Robinson had an incredible 2024, but is the Fulham left back truly deserving of the U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year Award (40:04)? Brandon Vazquez returns to MLS as Austin FC’s record-breaking signing (45:34), Jalen Neal's pursuit of more playing time lands him in CF Montréal, and is Lorenzo Insigne the worst DP transfer in MLS history (51:07)? 🗳️🫡 Support the show by voting for Call It What You Want in the Sports Podcast Awards in the "Best Team Podcast" category: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-team-podcast/ Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Tim Spiers and Duncan Alexander join Michael Bailey for a Christmas special — reviewing the biggest moments from Boxing Day, as well as looking ahead to the next round of Premier League fixtures. Fulham stunned Chelsea winning at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 45 years, was this a reminder that Enzo Maresca'a side are not yet the finished product? Marco Silva's Fulham face Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth next, are these two sides optimising the fun and unpredictability of the Premier League this season? Liverpool capitalised on Chelsea's slip up, extending their lead at the top of the table — are we witnessing another 2019/20 season? Everything continues to go wrong for Manchester United — suffering their fourth defeat in five Premier League games as captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off — how does Ruben Amorim turn things around with in-form Newcastle United up next? Plus, back to back wins for Wolves and new boss Vitor Pereira, Nottingham Forest's Champions League chase, and how do Arsenal replace the injured Bukayo Saka? Host: Michael Bailey With: Tim Spiers, Duncan Alexander Executive Producer: Abi Paterson Producer: Jay Beale Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola dive into the mailbag to answer YOUR burning questions. But first, the focus is on the Boxing Day action. With Leeds United sitting at the top of the Championship, can Brenden Aaronson push his way into a starting role for the national team? And with Jedi Robinson continuing to turn heads, has Fulham captain even reached his full potential yet? Then it's question time as the guys consider what the USMNT might have looked like had Jesse Marsch taken the reins. The trio also revisit some of the most iconic USMNT kits in history and get into a lively discussion about which players deserve a spot in a Concacaf 5-a-side dream team. Is Mauricio Pochettino managing the most talented group of U.S. players we've ever seen? And finally, with MLS viewership numbers under the microscope, the guys weigh in on how concerned the league should be moving forward. 🗳️🫡 Support the show by voting for Call It What You Want in the Sports Podcast Awards in the "Best Team Podcast" category: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-team-podcast/ Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola tackle the Matt Turner situation: After losing his spot as the Carabao Cup keeper, is it time for the Crystal Palace shot-stopper to reconsider his Premier League dream? And with the USMNT goalkeeper pool looking shakier than ever, could a new No. 1 emerge from January camp? The guys also break down the 2025 MLS schedule, debate the changes to the Leagues Cup format, and the tough task facing Bruce Arena in San Jose. Meanwhile, Johnny Cardoso steps up with a clutch performance for Betis, but it's a different story for Tim Weah and Yunus Musah, who are both sidelined with injuries. And why is Ricardo Pepi still playing second fiddle to Luuk de Jong at PSV, even while outscoring him? 🗳️🫡 Support the show by voting for Call It What You Want in the Sports Podcast Awards in the "Best Team Podcast" category: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-team-podcast/ Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the Saturday lunchtime meeting at Villa Park. Have Villa's excellent results in the Champions League and the fact they are above the teams they would expect to be competing against in the race for a top 5 finish, masked concerns over league results? And where do you start with City? An almost unthinkable 8 defeats 11 games. There's discussion on lack of investment, the quality of the players and how much blame should Pep Guardiola take for what's going on? And can City fix this? Plus, FPL discussion on Erling Haaland, City defensive assets, what it would take to want to invest in Phil Foden or Kevin De Bruyne, if Jhon Duran now poses a serious threat to Ollie Watkins place, if Villa can be looked at defensively with a nice fixture swing from Gameweek 19 and if Morgan Rogers should be holding a player that looks like he could really hurt Saturday's opponents.

On Tuesday's Football Daily, Phil Egan sets the table for this evening's Champions League action. We hear from Arne Slot on Alisson's return to the Liverpool side in their game away to Girona. Unai Emery on the shifting expectations of Aston Villa's European campaign. Tomas Soucek pays tribute to Michail Antonio as West Ham heap the pressure on Wolves boss Gary O'Neil. Plus, Manchester City's rap sheet has grown as their hearing into alleged financial rule breaches closes.

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford Bloor and James Horncastle for a deep-dive into matchday six of the Champions League - plus a look back at all the weekend’s domestic action from around Europe. PSG are on their worst run of the season - three games without a win in all competitions and just one goal scored. They gear up for a crucial Champions League meeting with Salzburg, while in Ligue 1 Marseille and Monaco closed the gap at the top to five points. Serie A has a new leader - with Atalanta taking advantage of Napoli’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio to move two points clear at the summit courtesy of their own 2-1 win over Milan. So, could Gasperini’s men get the better of Real Madrid in their European showdown on Tuesday night in Bergamo? In the Bundesliga Dortmund warmed up for their midweek meeting with Barcelona by drawing 1-1 with Gladbach, while Bayern Munich’s lead at the top of the table stands at six points following their 4-2 win over Heidenheim. And in La Liga Barcelona’s slump in form continued with a 2-2 draw at Betis - meaning Real and Atleti are breathing down their necks, both with games in hand over Hansi Flick’s men. It was Diego Simeone’s side who picked up the most dramatic result of the weekend, coming back from 3-1 down with an hour played to win 4-3 against Sevilla. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moment of the weekend and Champions League previews - (00.45) • PART 2: Ligue 1 review - Goal-shy PSG flatter to deceive - (13.00) • PART 3: Serie A review - Atalanta take top spot as Lazio get the better of Napoli (twice) - (23.25) • PART 4: Bundesliga review - Marco Rose spared as Bayern go six points clear - (37.55) • PART 5: La Liga review - Atleti win nine in a row as Barca slip up again - (50.00) Hosted on Acast.

This week on It Was What It Was, Jonathan and Rob introduce us to the team - and the match - that played a huge part in the invention of the European Cup... “Champions of the World!” was the headline given to Wolverhampton Wanderers, when they beat the mighty Hungarian team Honvéd, led by Ferenc Puskas, in 1954. Billy Wright was the star of the show for a game that many saw as reestablishing England as top football nation. But was it just gamesmanship that won the day for this great Wolves side? And how did that grandiose headline annoy the French so much it led to the formation of the European Cup (and consequently the Champions League) a year later? Wolves 3 Honvéd 2 is one of the most significant matches ever; a great night of European football that paved the way for so many historic moments in years to come.
