Ryan, Taylor and Graham are here to discuss the biggest games of the weekend! And Graham’s OnlyFans account!-Man City vs Chelsea: The Champions League dress rehearsal didn’t go well for Man City, who saw the game turn when Sergio Aguero decided to do his Ademola Lookman penalty tribute.-Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid: A vital game in the Liga title race ended in a stalemate, in which Leo Messi *almost* scored an all-time great goal.-Borussia Dortmund vs. RB Leipzig: Dortmund helped Bayern Munich win the title this weekend by taking three points from Leipzig, who were uncharacteristically disorganized in the back.-LA Galaxy vs. LAFC: Greg Vanney’s side got back to winning ways in El Trafico, where Chicharito once again was able to steal the headlines. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week’s episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam use this Saturday’s edition of El Tráfico a jumping-off point for a discussion about roster building cycles in MLS (which is something that LAFC is dealing with right now), club rebuilds (which is something that the Galaxy are dealing with right now), the challenges of selling players midseason, and more. Then it’s on to a conversation about the value of MLS experience and some under-the-radar MLS players that have impressed Paul and Sam so far this year.Sponsors! Dell!

Taylor is joined by Transfermarkt's Manuel Veth to discuss the managerial key party that is the Bundesliga coaching situation. We get into what Germany will look like this summer in Jogi Lowe's final outing (and where he might go from here), how Bayern got their man in Julian Nagelsmann but still have a lot to figure out if they want to make sure he doesn't walk away a la Hansi Flick, and the changes Jesse Marsch will bring to Leipzig's playing style (plus the players that might leave before he takes charge and the possible replacements that could come in). And we close by discussing the most impressive performances by Americans in the Bundesliga this season, and some transfer speculation as well (Sancho, Haaland, and several others included there).Sponsors! Dell!

Plus, which teams are looking strong (or as strong as ever) and which teams still have some work to do!

Taylor, Adam Snavely, and Joe team up to answer your listener questions and talk CCL! We start out with CCL and try to get to the bottom of what on earth happened last night between the Columbus Crew and Monterrey and the Portland Timbers and Club América. Then, it’s on to the questions!1) What can we expect from Bayern Munich under Julian Nagelsmann? And is Jesse Marsch ready for Leipzig?2) Would Daryl Dike be on our respective personal World Cup Qualifying rosters?3) Who are some players that are beloved for a heroic moment during a huge game, but otherwise had average to below-average careers?4) Do you think the amount of talk about roster turnover from Olympic Qualifying to the actual Olympics had a negative effect on the players during Qualifying?5) Would staggering which players jump in a wall be a better option than having players on the ground during a free kick? 6) How are official goal counts tallied?7) Would Tottenham have obtained more points in a Super League season than Schalke have in the curre

Joe, Ryan and Taylor have assembled to indirectly discuss the filmography of Christopher Nolan... but also to break down this week's Champions Leagues games!1) PSG v Manchester City: why was one half so good for PSG and the other was, erm, the opposite?2) Real Madrid v Chelsea: what was Tuchel's tactical approach and how did Real Madrid calm things down after a rough opening segment?3) Atlanta v Philadelphia: how do you earn a resounding victory over a team that seems to define the term "mercurial?"

Ryan, Taylor and Graham are here to discuss the weekend’s best action—and the story that could redefine the sport: the announcement of the breakaway European Super League.- The European Super League! A fundamental and seismic change to the sport at its highest level might be on the cards, with the announcement of a breakaway league. What does this mean for the teams involved, the players, and the sporting integrity of the beautiful game as a whole?- Jose Mourinho! The Special One was given his marching orders on Monday, a matter of days before the League Cup Final. Seems harsh, but there's a (cynical) reason for the timing...- Chelsea vs. Man City: The FA Cup! How quaint! We look at how Tommy Tuchel got the better of Pep Guardiola at Wembley!- Barcelona vs. Athletic Club: Lionel Messi got his hands on the (massive) Cope Del Rey trophy once again, at poor Bilbao's expense.- Inter Miami vs. LA Galaxy: The pick of the MLS litter on opening weekend was a thoroughly enjoyable affair in Fort Lauderdale!Sponsors! So
