First off, if you're in need of bad puns, this is the episode for you! Taylor is back to chat with Graham and Ryan about the biggest games from the weekend!1) Liverpool v Manchester City was a classic, even if the officiating was not (according to Pep)2) Atletico Madrid v Barcelona: Simeone's side were dominant, Koeman's side were coached from a phone, and Suarez got his revenge.3) Atalanta v Milan: No Zlatan. No gold car. No problem. Milan was dominant and won the first 86 minutes 3-0 before losing the final 4+ minutes 2-0. A net 3-2 means all 3 points!4) El Trafico lives up to its name... in that the final 30 minutes dragged on for a while and everyone seemed to wish they were home watching TV.Sponsors!BetterHelp!

You can find the full list of questions that we tackled down below:1) At the Euros this summer, England brought on a couple of players specifically to take penalty kicks in the shootout against Italy.

And will arena soccer ever become as popular again as it was in the early 1980s?3) Why don’t we use more data in our analysis of games?4) How much money should we be putting in FC Sheriff to make it out of their Champions League group?5) Every once in a while, you hear players and managers refer to other players by nicknames. Are there any interesting nicknames that stick out to us?6) What's the difference between 'hero-ball' & 'taking the game by the scruff of the neck'?Sponsors!

Graham is back! Smiley face. But Joe is absent. Sad face. Nevertheless, there's a whole lot of weekend to review, and we get right to it... by discussing the VMAs. But then it's on to...1) Manchester United's win over Newcastle with Ronaldo returning, starting, and scoring a brace. And also, Jesse Lingard is still alive!2) Bayern Munich demonstrates that if you take a club's manager, best defender and most important attacking facilitator, it's much harder for them to cause you problems. Just ask Leipzig.3) Napoli continues the strong start with a 2-1 over Juventus, whose individual mistakes have us wondering what Allegri needs to fix first and fastest.4) Atletico were different, and then familiar... and then they ended up getting two late goals to earn a 2-1 win, thereby proving that the club will never change. As is tradition.Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by...The NBA! This episode is sponsored by the NBA and their quest to advance the game of basketball, grow the community, and impact culture.
