Outside the Boot

I sat down with Spurs fan Camron Murphy to discuss a couple of the week one games in the premier league and Spurs’ and Newcastle’s transfers.

Quick lil episode to give y'all a recap of what I've been doing in the two months since I've posted. I'm really "outside the boot" now

Ryan recaps the thrilling USMNT win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League finals and speaks on some of the World Cup Qualifier action to take place later today before being joined by Pierson Blank again for the second half of their conversation from 5/31/21 where they speak about the Champions and Europa League finals and give some thoughts and predictions on the upcoming Euros and Copa America.

Pierson Blank joins Ryan as co host to discuss Ryan's recent trip to Aruba - Let's talk football in Aruba.

Ian Frederic joins Ryan to discuss Manchester United's recent fortunes, where they could improve, and the fan's distaste with the Glazer's ownership, which culminated in a protest/riot that caused United's game vs Liverpool to be postponed.

COMUNICADO OFICIAL - OTB has returned.

Breaking down the action from game weeks 3 and 4 in the Premier League, we discuss some of the insane results we've seen in this young Premier League season, and a few score lines that history will remember.

Europe's 5 most prestigious leagues - the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and Serie A have all kicked off the '20-'21 season. We break down the weekend's games.

A fresh European soccer season is upon us - England, France and Spain have kicked off the '20-'21 season, a month after their pre-rona start dates. OTB welcomes you to season 2.

This unique season just keeps getting wilder. With the truncated formula to complete this year's European competitions, UEFA have decided to make all knockout stage games one legged affairs, which has ratcheted up the intensity and the potential for startling upsets. 

La Liga, the Prem, and Serie A each have 1-5 games left. Only the Serie A does not have a crowned champion, providing for the slightest chance of the Scudetto to be sewn upon a non-Bianconeri shirt for the first time in eight years. The #MLSisback tournament is halfway through its group stage as sports return to the United States, alongside the USL Championship, America's second division.

With the Bundesliga all wrapped up and Ligue 1 cancelled, the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga have our full attention. All three leagues have less than 10 games to be played, so the table is starting to shape up. We take a look at the three leagues to see who will fall where and also take a look at the recent Champion's and Europa League draws.

The Premier League has a new champion - Liverpool. While it hasn't been in doubt for quite a while now, Liverpool have now mathematically secured the Premier League title, their 19th English title and first in the Premier League era. In this episode, we discuss the title winning campaign, the race for the top four, and the relegation battle while touching on recent fixtures.

Whew, it's been a while since our last upload. With more leagues now back in action, we wanted to discuss some of the games that have occurred since we last posted. The Bundesliga is now all but wrapped up with Bayern claiming their eighth successive title; we spoke on how their season was turned around by a managerial change and some of the players that have shined under Flick. La Liga has restarted as well, with a couple of games being played. The title race seems to be a two horse race between the eternal rivals yet again, but there's still some excitement to be had. Over in Italy, the Coppa Italia was chosen to be the competition that restarts first. We discussed the semi finals and Juve's dismal performance in the final. Finally, we touched on the revised formats for both the Champion's League and Europa League.

Good friend and former teammate of the pod Hays Greer joins Ryan and Trevor to talk about all things Liverpool. From the 2006 World Cup that started his Liverpool fandom to the (almost) invincibles of today, Hays gives us a little insight on what it means to be a Red.

Join us as we break down the weekend's Bundesliga action, including Bayern and RB Leipzig's dominating wins and Dortmund's continued march on in the title challenge ahead of a vital Der Klassiker on Tuesday.

Football has returned to one of the top 5 European leagues this weekend - Germany's Bundesliga. Join Ryan and Trevor as they break down the weekend's matches.

In a continuation of last week's episode, we sit down with Jason to discuss his history as a coach in Louisiana and what it's like to go through the certification process. Also discussed is general conversation of the state of the game in Louisiana and our personal experiences.

Jason Carrillo joins Ryan and Trevor to discuss the club he supports - CD Guadalajara, more commonly known as Chivas. We also dive into the structure of the Liga MX as a whole and the wonky promotion/relegation that the league (formerly?) had.

It's been a pretty slow newsweek outside of the Newcastle takeover news, but we still had a couple of items to discuss. On the table for this episode was discussions on already agreed upon summer transfers, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) axing the youth development league, the possibility of collegiate soccer in the South, the suspension of promotion and relegation in the Liga MX for the next five seasons, and more on the aforementioned NUFC takeover.
