9/24 - 4th Annual Premier League Predictions

As of the time I'm typing this, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! All signs are leading to Messi actually leaving Barcelona this summer. Where is he going to go? We have absolutely no idea. We have some realistic targets and other "realistic" targets for Lionel Messi's future. We also break down the original lead topic of this pod, the Champions League Final! Did PSG finally win their first title? No, they basically disappeared in the 2nd half. You can find us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

8/25 - Messi is Leaving Barcelona! Champions League Final Recap!

The Quarterfinals have passed and there were plenty of surprises as Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and (almost) PSG faced elimination. PSG barely salvaged their best-ever campaign in the competition while Guardiola and Simeone were left wondering how they squandered such a great opportunity at reaching the Semifinals. Barcelona barely even showed up as Bayern completely obliterated them. Now, Lyon will face Bayern while Leipzig will face PSG to determine who will reach the 2019-20 Champions League Final. To wrap up, we take a look at the Rivalry Phase 1 of MLS's return to the regular season. Hudson River Derby, Atlantic Cup, Canadian Classique, El Trafico, Texas Derby, Rocky Mountain Cup and so much more to look forward to! As always, you can follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

8/17 - Champions League Quarterfinals, MLS Regular Season Phase 1 Preview

We are back to give our surface-level thoughts on the end of the Premier League! Aston Villa were ultimately, quite literally, handed a gift in their goal-line technology controversy versus Sheffield United earlier in the season as they scraped by. United ultimately finished 3rd, while Leicester dropped out of the Champions League. What are the big takeaways? Elsewhere, Juventus clinched their 9th straight Scudetto, but there is still places to be won in the form of Europa League positions. Milan, Roma and Napoli (not so much on Napoli)need to find out where they ultimately land in the table, and who is going to the Group Stage. We then move to Champions League to give our thoughts on the upcoming games, and move to the U.S. where MLS and NWSL are back in action in their bubble competitions.

7/27 - Premier League Ends With a Bang, Serie A Hits Final Stretch, Champions League Preview

We are back as Spain finished it's delayed domestic campaign! Real Madrid took the title, Barcelona fell apart after the restart, and there were some wild scenes as European spots and relegation were decided in the final moments. In England, teams like Leicester and Bournemouth shifted into positions that will be hard to shake. For one, Champions League will come down to the final day and for the other, relegation seems all but happening. And Chelsea won another WFT Derby in the FA Cup. Moving on, we talk briefly about the Balon d'Or getting called off for this bizarre year. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

7/21 - Real Madrid Win La Liga, English Footbal Hits High Intensity, Balon d'Or Cancelled

We are back to discuss Liverpool taking the Premier League (finally), as the focus now shifts to the Top-4 race. Chelsea are in fine form after stunning Manchester City, but Manchester United are also in fine form. Who will take it? We then shift to Spain where Barcelona lost out to Iago Aspas, but Real Madrid took advantage thanks to some more brilliance from Karim Benzema. We wrap up the newest developments in Germany and Italy as another busy week of soccer comes to a close! Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

6/28 - Liverpool Win the League, Real Madrid Take the Lead, The Magic of the Cup (ugh)

The Premier League is back and it returned with an absolute whimper as Sheffield United and Aston Villa played to a horrendous draw. It was punctuated, however, by some goal-line technological controversy. It's like football never left! Arsenal did a bad thing as usual. In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona put together some crazy performances in their return, while Napoli stunned Juventus in the Coppa Italia Final. Ronaldo didn't shoot again in a decisive PK shootout! Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

6/19 - EPL is Back, Real Madrid and Barcelona Cruise, New Adjustments to the Viewing Experience

We return for an incredibly important discussion. Following the murder of George Floyd and countless others, there has been unrest and outrage throughout the USA and the world. We discuss why this is so important and most importantly, what you can do to help. Be sure to follow us on Twitter at @WFT_Podcast for more!

6/4 - It's Time to Take Action and Make a Difference

We start off our return with a really important development that is hitting every walk of life around the world: coronavirus. It has the potential of shaking up the status quo across sports, including the Olympics, EURO 2020, international breaks, qualifiers, AFC Champions League, Serie A and much more. We then move to the FA Cup where Liverpool lost yet again after losing their unbeaten season during the weekend. Where do their loyalties lie this season? What's next for Chelsea after dismantling the probable winners? Following our thoughts on the conclusion of the 1st legs in the Round of 16 in Champions League, we move on to quick hits in MLS. Victor Wanyama is now with the Impact, Miami and Nashville saw their debuts, and the New York teams saw varying results in their first game. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

3/3 - Liverpool Can't Stop Losing, Coronavirus Might Shake the Soccer World, Champions League Recap

We are back and Ryan has some things he needs to get off his chest. Did you think we weren't going to talk about the VAR-sized debacle that took place during the Chelsea vs Man United game? Of course we are. The Champions League is finally back as we reflect on a snoozer and the continued rise of a Norwegian legend. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast to stay connected!

2/18 - Why is VAR in England So Difficult? A Chelsea vs Man United Rant

We've had a bit of break which means we need to come back and grind our gears. Find out what makes Ryan and Thomas tick, including Ryan going to Rome for Euro 2020 to see an Italy game. No team or competitions is safe as the FA Cup, Chelsea, Liverpool, PSG, Neymar, Barcelona and Lionel Messi are all targets of our gear-grinding. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast for more!

2/5 - The FA Cup is Grinding My Gears, Chelsea are Infuriating, PSG and Barcelona are Disasters

We are back for a very streamlined episode! Arsenal and Chelsea provided some theatrics as David Luiz made things interesting early on, but Chelsea forgot how to close out a game up a man for 30 minutes. We then move onto the impact of Liverpool's win over Man United, before moving to the insane relegation race in the Premier League. Who of the current contenders will go down? Chicharito has finally come to MLS! We discuss the impact of the Mexican's move to Major League Soccer and how the LA Galaxy made yet again another big splash in the market. We then rebound back across the Atlantic as we touch on Haland's explosive debut with Dortmund and the chances of RB Leipzig finally dethroning Bayern. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast and let us know what you think of this week's episode!

1/21 - Arsenal Scrape to a Draw, Chicharito Signs With LA Galaxy, Haland Makes a Splash

Short and simple for this week: What are the moments that resonate most with us from this past decade? Thomas can barely make a Top 5 of happy moments, so there's a lot of pain and suffering. Ryan helps out the happiness coefficient a little. Disclaimers ahoy in this one, including finally putting names to people we are always referencing in the show! This is the time to remember the good, the bad, and the truly sad moments of the decade that resonated most with us. Follow us on Twitter @WFT_Podcast and let us know what your biggest moments of the decade were. Did we miss any?

1/6 - The Biggest Moments of the Decade in Soccer

The second Jose Mourinho Derby in a month took place between Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League. While the game was decided pretty quickly, the game was marred by another incident of racist abuse towards a player, this time the player Antonio Rudiger. There was a lot said about what the Premier League should do, with it being the second incident in a 3-week span. Who was spot on? We then round out to Watford's "upset" of Man U, Man City's decisive win over Leicester and, while the latter was happening, Liverpool's first Club World Cup trophy in its history. The Club World Cup is a very underrated event. We then touch upon the matchups to watch in the Champions League Round of 16 draw and close out with minimal talk of Atalanta's thrashing of Milan.

12/23 - Jose Mourinho Derby (2), Rudiger Faces Racist Abuse, Club World Cup Appreciation Segment

Finally a result to be happy about! Manchester United got another huge win in the Premier League with their 2-1 win over Man City at the Etihad. Where does this leave United after they took 6 huge points from Spurs and City? What's left of City's season now that they are 14 points back from Liverpool? We then go over two teams in varying degrees of coaching rotations. Spurs continue the first act of Jose Mourinho's tenure in London, while the red half of North London are still trying to sort out their identity following the sacking of Unai Emery. They managed to take care of West Ham, but the danger signs are still there. Once we venture out of England, we hit Italy to talk about the marquee matchup between Juventus and Lazio. The capital club got a huge victory over the defending champions, and now the Serie A table just got a whole lot more interesting. Do we have a 3-team race on our hands?
