Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies welcome in friend of the show Marco Messina to discuss the start of the Serie A season and the Americans plying their trade (at least for now) in the Italian top-flight. What are Paulo Fonseca's plans for Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah? Will Weston McKennie and Tim Weah be staples of Thiago Motta's starting XI? And why are Venezia intent on getting rid of Tanner Tessmann? The guys turn their attention elsewhere in Europe, praising Haji Wright's brace-scoring heroics for Coventry and discussing Gaga Slonina in the context of Mauricio Pochettino's first-choice goalkeeper. Then, Mark McKenzie's move to Ligue 1 side Toulouse and Cameron Carter-Vickers' time at Tottenham spark a convo about the USMNT's center-back pool. Will Tim Ream still be in the frame for the World Cup? And finally, it's an all-MLS affair in the Leagues Cup semifinals!

Kris and Jez round up the post-season happenings, including Toulouse sacking coach Philippe Montanier, the ongoing Mbappe situation, the disciplinary committee confirming that Metz will be in Ligue 1 next season, and the upcoming European Qualifiers for France.

A lot has happened since we last spoke, including game 5 of the European group stages, game 15 of Ligue 1, half or so of game 16 (we recorded during those) and the Ballon d'Or. Kris, Jez and Phil try not to get off-topic in covering all that, Ada Hegerberg's Ballon d'Or win, and looking forward to a Gilets Jaunes affected game 17, which will see both PSG v Montpellier and Toulouse v OL postponed at police request.

The team look at all the weekend's action, including Fekir's wonderstrike in Lyon 3-3 Bordeaux, PSG's 6-2 demolition of Toulouse, disorganised chaos at Lille, and forward to a round of games that will see Saint-Etienne the next team to take on the PSG juggernaut.
