And bring your golf pencils and moleskines with you, because our time-honored tradition returns. That's right, it's the OVER/UNDER season precap!

Ahoyhoy Blue Ballers, another episode here where the boys in blue are inching closer to the real stuff.

Finally, for the last installment of Watch Club 2026 Preseason Edition - F1! Brad Pitt! Tropes! More Tropes! Vroom Vroom! Put on those hard tires, you've got Blue Balls.

Jake and Trey are back at the tail end of silly season, talking practical signings and practical kung fu! Your boys in blue talk australian imports, strikers not striking (we recorded before the Sylla deal fell through but we handled it sweeties no worries), and the apparent MagnoNandez Do-Si-Do. PLUS: football! The other kind! AND: as promised, Jake & Trey move one country east to review Steven Chow's international cartoon-fu proof of concept SHAOLIN SOCCER.

Thank you to everyone who listens and double-thanks if you ever wrote a review or dropped a dollar in the tip jar. We'll see you in 2026! *Blue Balled Acquaintance Be Forgot...*

It's the season wrap-up, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey review the eastern conference final flame-out against MLS' Miami monster before they similarly routed a top-shelf Vancouver to take the cup. But there's plenty else to talk about: World Cup draws and World Cup prices, broadcast rights and wrongs, and MLS joining the big kids table with a fall-to-spring schedule. And coming soon in part 2: Santa's on his sleigh with a big fat bag of Over Unders! Maybe put the butt flap in front: you've got Blue Balls!

Folks, we didn't think we'd be here. But you know what they say: when men make plans, Maxi Moralez laughs. A 1-0 victory over supporters' shield superstars Philly Union has given NYCFC the keys to the eastern conference finals, and your boys in blue are breaking it all down for you. We talk why the squad's goal was #squadgoals, the magnificent Maxi, False Nine Nico, transition positions, Jansen's triumphant triage, and more. Plus a check-in with league winners Gotham FC and a precap of the Messi we have yet to clean up. Careful around that gravy — you've got Blue Balls.
