How fast can you play in every washed league in the world? That's the question that Jhon Duran (and Nathan, Caleb, and Nick) try to answer.

Plus, musings on the Swiss Franc, Atleti, and more.

Are there too many set piece goals? This is the question that Nathan, Caleb, and Nick try to tackle on today's episode, which functions equally well as a pulse check on the game itself.

Plus, a classic between Belgium and Brazil gets revisited.

Nick, Nathan, and Caleb discuss everything from vaccines (good) to Chelsea (bad) to United (confusing) and more.

In a rare Sunday night recording, Caleb, Nathan, and Nick gather up to discuss the recent matches across of Europe. From a look at the form (and non-form) teams in the Prem to an evaluation of the Clasico, there was plenty to break down, including potent questions like "why does Vinicius do these things?" to "which circle of hell is Nick and other Liverpool fans in?" Plus, a look at the worst UCL fixture ever and a nod to Lincoln Red Imps, the first Gibraltar-based team to win a European fixture.

Nick, Nathan, and Caleb gather up to talk about soccer. First, a Who He Play For constructs a wild midfield trio, before they check on LiverpooLLL's losing streak.
