Show Notes

WE'RE BACK after our 2 week hiatus! Pro Tip: 2-3 nights in Las Vegas is more than enough.  The Full Kit Wankers connect via Zoom (for the foreseeable future -- gotta see wassup with this delta variant) for another socially distant weekly episode!

Hot soccer goss: "Ted Lasso" and the EPL reach a licensing deal. It's a little late but welcomed of course. Neymar went viral poking fun at the mass social media outage of 2021. Liverpool fans and Manchester United fans got some reprioritizing to do.  UEFA and women’s leagues across Europe have joined forces to criticise FIFA’s proposal to hold men’s and women’s World Cups every two years.

Not Cool Moment of the Week:  Absolutely bombshell revelations that longtime NWSL coach Paul Riley plied multiple players on his teams with alcohol and engaged in sexual coercion and harassment, in addition to more harassment concerning players’ weight and sexuality.

Across the pond we got our usual Premier League recap.  We go over the rest of the weekend fixtures. La Liga /Bundesliga/ Serie A/ Ligue 1 roundups!

In our own Backyard:  USMNT Qualifiers: Who made the cut and who didn't. Carlos Bocanegra inducted into Hall of Fame. NE Revolution clinch MLS Eastern Conference

Female Intended Play:  See "Not Cool Moment of the week". Only made sense to primarily focus the NWSL this week. We stand in solidarity with the players of the league. 

Remember, stay safe out there FKWs and remember you've got subs if you need 'em! ⚽️🤘
