Kim Min Jae To Manchester United, Lee Kang-In To Atletico, And Korea's U20 World Cup Squad (Feat. Albert Kim)

In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, we are visited by special guest Albert Kim to discuss the latest transfer news surrounding Korean superstars Lee Kang In from Mallorca and Kim Min Jae from Napoli. Both are expected to be on the move this summer.

Also, Korea's Asian Cup 2023 preparation continues with a few scheduled friendlies against CONMEBOL and CONCACAF competition in Korea this summer, as well as the Korean U20 team heading off to Argentina to do battle in a very difficult group at the 2023 U20 World Cup.

How Asia Wins Europe's Approval & How International Football Affect A Player's Legacy 

In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, the lads take things back to America to debate the uncertain futures of USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah, both of whom are in less-than-favorable positions with their respective clubs. Pulisic has somehow been deemed to be worse than Mudryk, and Tim Weah is playing in Antonee Robinson's position.

Keeping things local, a recent report from Sportico revealed that 18 MLS clubs rank in the top 50 most valuable soccer clubs in the world. Upon further review, this might not be as big of an achievement as you might think it is...

And lastly, Lionel Messi has added his name to the growing list of superstars who failed to bring a Champions League to PSG. After an apparent miscommunication about practice (PRACTICE!), PSG suspended Messi for 2 weeks and announced that they do not plan on extending his contract.

So what's next? Chase the cash in Saudi Arabia? Tan on the beach in Miami? Return to Barcelona? We have a few thoughts.

In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, your favorite Lads discuss and debate some of the most popular possible transfers involving South American players in the upcoming summer transfer window. We tried to spread the love and talk about all the different nations, there's just frankly too many damn Argentines in Europe. 

Regardless, we think you guys will enjoy this one! Let us know if there are any CONMEBOL representatives who we didn't cover in this video and we can do so in a future Part 2!

Uruguay is a country of just 3.4 million people, yet they are 4 time world champions. How is that possible? 

In this special episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, we are joined by special guest Alvaro from Uruguay Football English (links below), an Uruguayan who has passionately followed and studied the history of La Celeste, "The Sky Blue.

Reacting To The 2023 Gold Cup Groups

The greatest international football tournament, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, announced the official groups for the 2023 edition of the tournament. Naturally, your favorite Yanks had to jump on the pod to give our thoughts on how each group is looking, potential darkhorses for the tournament, and if the USMNT, CanMNT, or Mexico is the favorite. 

DeadBall TV are visited by Chu Okoli to talk all about the Nigerian Super Eagles, including the systemic problems holding Nigeria back, the historic underperformance at the continental level, and how to fix everything.

Previewing EVERY South American March Friendly!

Topics:
- Argentina's upcoming friendlies against Panama B Team and Curacao - earned break or waste of international window?
- Grading every single South American March friendly
- Juan Reynoso, Peru's new manager, calls up virtually the same squad that Ricardo Gareca used during his long tenure. Is Peruvian football officially in a crisis?

Patrick Vieira vs Thierry Henry, USMNT Nations League Preview, and Pulisic's ESPN FC Interview

US Football outlets have been quick to link Patrick Vieira to the USMNT job - but is this actually a sound strategic decision? Is he truly a better option than Thierry Henry? What about Gregg Berhalter?

The USMNT will go to battle in 2 absolutely enthralling games against Grenada and El Salvador in the final edition of the CONCACAF Nations League group stage. A loss to El Salvador could mean the US does not qualify for the Final Four, but is this really a possibility? With Anthony Hudson as interim manager... actually, yes!

In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, we give our thoughts on the bombshell investigation report published about the drama surrounding Gregg Berhalter, the Reynas, and US Soccer.

Who is the biggest loser from all this? You guys let us know. 

In a move that shocked the majority of the fanbase, the Ecuadorian Federation announced over the weekend that Felix Sanchez, the former Qatar National Team manager, had signed a 3 year contract with La Tri. Sanchez will be the Ecuador manager until the 2026 World Cup, making a reported salary of $2.5 million per season. This comes after attempts to sign Ricardo Gareca failed to materialize, with the Argentine manager eventually signing a deal to become the new manager of Argentina club Velez.

Later, we talk about Independiente Del Valle's Recopa victory against Flamengo as well as their latest wonderkid, Kendry Páez, who is rumored to have a verbal agreement with Chelsea upon turning 18.

Enjoy! 

In this episode of DeadBall TV, we jump into muddy waters quick by reacting to Rodrigo De Paul's comments that the 2022 Argentine National Team is the best in history. The old heads gonna be big mad at us.

Next we delve into the light-hearted topic of racism in football. This was prompted by Real Madrid defender David Alaba suffering from racial abuse after he did not have teammate Karim Benzema as his #1 nominee for FIFA's FIFPro Player Of The Year.

Speaking of that, the entire FIFPRO award ceremony is an absolute clown show, best highlighted by Spanish fraud Luis De La Fuente putting Julian Alvarez as the 2022 PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

Dear God... Enjoy!

In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, we take a super deep dive into the speculative 2025 Gold Cup format that will see the tournament expanded to include 8 invitee nations from around the globe.

Will this new format bring some legitimacy to an international tournament that nobody cares about? Can a CONCACAF giant realistically expect to win this thing? And will the rest of the world take it seriously and send their best? All that and more in this episode.
