Ah yes,  International Break... a nice breath of fresh air but a longing for meaningful EPL games.  In this episode we switch gears and dig into world cup qualifiers.  No one is safe from Kelly butchering names and countries in this episode, so we apologize to all our listeners in advance.  If you love when she does this, this episode it for you! Despite the pronunciations, we talk about WC 2022, international protests, and some old guys we've missed recently.   

Kelly and Gordon host Brian and Steve as they get their brains picked for their feelings of the league so far, their fantasy teams, and of course their top 4 and relegation predictions for the end of the season.  Shots are fired, long shots are made, and beers are consumed. Beware of the claw!

The Wankers already don't enjoy an International Break (9:20) but the presence of n*zis made it all the worse. There is plenty more footy gossip (1:41) to report on, including Ronaldo's 700th goal, Mourinho to Tottenham rumors and Zlatan selling the most MLS jerseys this season. Dive into Three G Berhalter's most recent failure with the USMNT (15:30) as well as NYCFC moving to a different baseball stadium. The most updates come from the best segment, Female Intended Play (21:00), as the UEFA Women's Champions Round of 16 kicks off, Carli Lloyd sounds off, and the Portland Thorns' attendance is record breaking. And as always, you've got subs if you need 'em, and n*zis suck. 

Seeing as Steven and Andrea are known for their penchant for gossip, they'd be remiss if they didn't open the episode with the WAG Wars. Amateur spy, Coleen Rooney and heavily pregnant Rebekah Vardy having it out on social media rocked the football world yesterday (1:40) and it was everything the FKWs could have dreamt of and more. Of course, they had a duty to cover all manners of football news, so tune in to lament Tottenham and Manchester United's absolute disarray (10:40), celebrate Borussia Monchengladbach's success (22:40), and go nuts about MLS' Decision Day 2019 (23:50). Female Intended Play (26:25) honors Jill Ellis' final caps as the US Women's National Team manager, and Ali Krieger's 100th cap. Enter our giveaway (details on our Instagram) and as always, you've got subs if you need 'em.
