Germany: OUT! France: OUT! Portugal: OUT! Netherlands: OUT! And the Quarters are yet to begin. What a roller coaster of a Round of 16, with some big teams knocked out, Euro 2021 has not failed to entertain. That Switzerland fan who was devastated in the 89th minute and jubilant in the 90th encapsulates the passion for football and what it means for us fans. In this episode we discuss what went wrong for Portugal, whether the French were too overconfident for their own good, how England finally beat Germany at a major tournament, and is it finally coming home for them?  Plus, get our predictions and thoughts on the quarters. Let the games begin!

The round of 16 of Euro 2020 has kicked off and there are some great matches coming up with the likes of England facing Germany at Wembley and Belgium battling with Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. for a place in the last 8.  In this episode, Gauti & Afzal discuss: Will the supremely talented England and Gareth Southgate finally banish the painful memories and bury the ghosts of Euro 96? Will and should Gareth Southgate start with Grealish and Saka or will he be reserved in his approach? Is Cristiano Ronaldo going to break more records? Does Bruno Fernandes start for Portugal?  We at Futmylife, after being months away from recording just like Hazard is away from the pitch for Madrid, make a comeback by discussing all this and more.

After a long hiatus, we return like the fabled phoenix (the Liverpool contingent of Futmylife forced that reference in), the guys discuss the topsy turvy season that it's been, much like our commitment to this podcast, where no team has been able to grab the league by its scruff and assert their dominance. There have been signs of the resurgence of the usual contenders like city and Liverpool but along with some surprising entrants who haven't been this high atop the premier league for the better part of this decade, the midseason review tries to make sense of the developments, when the perennial all-stars will finally assert their dominance and which teams are expected to vie for the title of the best of the rest.

"You'll Never Walk Alone".  A song that tells you to be brave, to have faith, to believe, to have hope when there is nothing but despair and to never give up no matter what the circumstance no matter what the challenge that lies ahead because "at the end of a storm there lies a golden sky".  This storm lasted 30 grueling years mind you. A storm of failed title challenges, of being nearly there but not quite, of having to rebuild without a plan, of having to face constant criticism and the taunts. Just as a reminder, Liverpool were on the brink of administration at the beginning of the decade. On 06.10.2010, FSG came in, and exactly five years later on 08.10.2015, enter Jurgen Norbert Klopp. It marked the beginning of the transformation from 'doubters to believers'. He promised a title in 4 years. He delivered. Not just the title of Champions of England. Champions of Europe. Champions of the World. Passion, Heart, Grit, Determination, Blood, Sweat, Tears, Madness, Astonishing, Awe-inspiring, and Breath-taking Football; there is nothing we have not witnessed with this man in charge. Take a bow Jurgen!  In this episode, the lads discuss the rise of phoenix and the title finally docks: What it means to a Liverpool fan to get their hands on the most coveted titleThe crucial role played by the club hierarchy in putting a system for successImpact Jurgen has had in delivering that success on the pitchWhat lies ahead for this Liverpool squad

Often considered to be the first club from a list of many to " buy success" backed by the financial power of a mysterious billionaire from a faraway land, Chelsea's history often gets overlooked by the myopic view essentially they were irrelevant before 2003. Not many appreciate the almost sitcom-like drama of the club battling financial ruin and beating it by the skin of their teeth on multiple occasions, a dogged owner and a lifelong fan coming together to save the club and the hallowed Stamford bridge from being a thing of the past by building a special team to deliver consistently strong performances to put a smile on the face of their supporters through the worst of times and becoming the most successful English team since 2003. We bring to you, Chelsea FC previously called the 'The Pensioners due to their close association with the former members of the British Army. How they became the template for various clubs being bought by billionaires from around the world and almost turning football clubs into a must-have and status symbol of the global elite In this episode, we discussed and take a look back on 'The Blues' transformational  Change of guard at Chelsea and the beautiful story of saving the Stamford bridgeBlues template for success on the field despite the continuous spotlightChelsea's eye for talent and transfer savviness has made them football gladiatorsThe revolving door of managers and an almost farcical loan systemEvolution of young Chelsea amid transfer banChelsea under Lampard's stewardship and building a team for future

Traditionally the biggest league in Europe, the mighty have certainly fallen. From dominating Europe to having first right over the best talent to grace the football field, Italy was once the powerhouse of continental Europe, however, with the global slowdown of the late 2000s and early 2010s coupled with various scandals from match-fixing to owners being caught in corruption scandals, we slowly watched the slow crumbling of the European powerhouses much like the fall of the great Italian city of Pompei However, there seems some light on the horizon for Serie A, with billionaire owners providing fresh impetus and a tax structure to attract the world's top players. Italy seems to be rising from the ashes. Inter Milan are challenging for the world's top talent with Juventus seemingly the Destination of choice for every footballer running down his contract. With teams like Lazio and Atalanta focusing on building a unit rather than a star ensemble and both earning rave reviews for their performances. In this episode, we analyze the closest title race amongst the top 4 European leagues and  discuss: What reopening of the Serie A league meansTitle run-in and the key fixtures for the Top 6 yet to be played outMagnificent rise of Atalanta B.C. under Gian Piero GasperiniItalian Tax Laws benefiting clubs in foreign player import Simone Inzaghi's Lazio's Journey, Inter & Napoli's fizzling outWill this again be Juventus's year and win a ninth consecutive title?

The corona virus has single-handedly caused a global economic slowdown not witnessed since the the late 2000's, with football feeling the effects as well. The suspension of sport has led to unprecedented losses on and off the pitch for football clubs of all sizes.  As clubs come to grips with the limited resources at their disposal, we look at  economically prudent ways that clubs can employ to go after their transfer targets.  With the likes of Barcelona, Juventus , PSG and Manchester United reportedly looking to swap players, we try to step ahead of this seemingly impending transfer merry go round and discuss whether we will see the rise of the player swaps, what players could be one the move and what hurdles could clubs face while trying to swap players. In this episode we attempt to discuss: Player Swaps as potentially the 'new normal' in the upcoming transfer windows;Importance of investment in the academy to promote youth and innovate scoutingProbable Players that may be swapped;Will the transfer value plummet for players like Pogba, Coutinho, SanchoWill clubs with prized assets hold out for a higher amount?
