Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

In this listener questions episode, we examine which Premier League managers have arrived midseason and successfully turned teams around following Enzo Maresca’s sacking, before asking whether Wilfried Nancy’s disastrous reign at Celtic did any real damage to MLS’s global reputation. We then mark Weston McKennie’s 200th Juventus appearance by exploring other players who have changed squad numbers three or more times at the same club, build our best possible Starting XI made entirely of players whose names end in “inho,” and finish by hopping in a Time Machine to choose five must-see matches from the past decade guaranteed to make a first-time viewer fall in love with soccer.WATCH TSS EPISODES ON YOUTUBE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're posting all our episodes here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

The hosts dive into standout performances by USMNT players, highlighting Brenden Aaronson's resurgence and Folarin Balogun's impressive play despite team struggles. They tackle bold predictions for the 2026 World Cup, including unexpected top-scorer guesses. A debate emerges over which nations outside of Europe and South America could emerge victorious, with Japan, Morocco, and the USA leading the conversation.

DC United's new signings, including forward Montenu, promise exciting potential, while the Philadelphia Union grapples with key departures and their impact on the team's future.

The chaos of the weekend in soccer is dissected, starting with the shocking sacking of Ruben Amorim and Wilfried Nancy. Analysis digs deep into tactical failures, media missteps, and the future of both coaches. Leeds' late heroics are recapped, along with a gripping draw between Manchester City and Chelsea. Discussion highlights Chelsea's chaotic management structure and Arsenal's title momentum. Listeners get a peek into possible replacements for Amorim and Nancy, and exciting youth breakthroughs in La Liga.

We start by putting ourselves in the shoes of an ambitious manager and ranking four Premier League jobs — Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Manchester United, and Tottenham — based purely on the talent in their current squads (no owners, no budgets, no crystal balls). From there, we head to Serie A to ask what on earth has gone wrong at Fiorentina, a club usually sniffing around European places but now stuck at the bottom after a winless start. We also dig into football romance, wondering whether a truly world-class player has ever chosen a mid-table (or worse) club simply because it was their childhood team. Plus: does Aston Villa’s second-half surge against Chelsea prove that halftime is where elite coaches really earn their money? And finally, why do managers love subbing off goal scorers late in tight games — even when it feels completely counterintuitive?WATCH TSS EPISODES ON YOUTUBE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're posting all our episodes here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
