Could players really go on strike? And just how much will certain journalists at certain newspapers lose their nut if they do?

Welcome to the latest episode of The Overlap’s football history podcast, It Was What It Was. As Aston Villa return to Champions League football this week, Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper take a deep dive into the club's most iconic moment: their 1982 European Cup triumph. It Was What It Was revisits this historic victory, made even more remarkable by the fact that manager Ron Saunders resigned midway through the season, leaving Tony Barton to step in and guide Villa to European glory. Jonathan and Rob walk us through the unforgettable campaign, which saw Villa travel to Germany and Ukraine before defeating Bayern Munich 1-0 in the final. The win became even more legendary when first-choice goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer was forced off with an injury, only for his inexperienced replacement, Nigel Spink, to step up and deliver a crucial performance in just his second-ever first-team appearance, cementing his place in Villa's history on one of the club’s greatest nights.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola pick over the rubble following Saturday's disappointing loss to Canada and discuss Mikey Varas and Tim Ream's post-game comments which pointed to the lack of drive and intensity against Jesse Marsch's team. With Mauricio Pochettino reportedly waiting in the wings to take charge of the USMNT, what are the first things the former Tottenham and Chelsea boss needs to address? In the immediate term, the guys underline what needs to change ahead of Tuesday's clash against the All Whites, and Jimmy has a stab at naming the starting XI. And the crew close things out by taking questions from the CIWYW community!

There's chat about some results (01:44), and then Ryan and Musa move on to the main topic, the men's Champions League—as well as the Europa and Conference Leagues—reforming for this season (06:46). They run through the new league formats, their initial thoughts about the changes and what it might mean going forward, with huge numbers of games and reports of player fatigue ahead of a season that will also see the new Club World Cup take place next summer. They ask (yet again) whether there is too much football, whether this is what fans actually want and whether there is another way to balance commercial and sporting interests—or whether even more football is the new normal.

Jesse Marsch was the only American smiling after his prediction of a 2-1 Canada win over the U.S. came to pass. Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola and Brian McBride analyze the USMNT’s first performance since the disastrous Copa America campaign (1:30). The guys discuss the team’s struggles to deal with Canada’s press and speculate as to how Mauricio Pochettino might have viewed the game (09:50). Then, the player ratings don’t make for flattering listening for the likes of Tim Ream, Johnny Cardoso or Yunus Musah (18:15). And while the center back pairing is the area of most concern for the crew, the lack of vocal leaders and physicality is another worrying trait for the Stars and Stripes (36:08). A discussion about the changes Mikey Varas should make for Tuesday’s clash against New Zealand (46:55). And finally, another setback for Gio Reyna, and have Mexico found an international break cheat code (50:20)?
