Let's take a look at the Top 7 race in England (especially since first place definitely isn't up for grabs). We don't know who's going to be in the Champions League or Europa League next year, but listen in and you might be able to make an educated bet.
Episode 38: Clasico Woes & VAR Theatrics by Rheon Trim & Elyas Tecle
Like we promised: Part 2.
We missed some time. So, why not make two podcasts? We split the Champions League Round of 16 ones into two podcasts. There's a LOT of content to get through.
Sorry for the delays, but we're back with a review of the last week or two in Spanish and English football. Oh also, found out how much Rudiger is worth to Rheon (hint: lint is mentioned).
This week, we go over some of the weird, yet entertaining, news in La Liga including Setien, Atleti's striker problems, and the Top 4 race. Over in England, Rheon stresses over Chelsea's need for points and previews another Pep vs Mourinho classic.
Today, we took a break from our soccer discussions to focus a brief period of our time on an individual that meant a lot to both of us growing up. From infamous "KOBE!" moments to wholesome moments with his family in the spotlight, Kobe epitomized the essence of what it was to be both a fierce competitor and a genuine human being; something we all strive to be. Rest In Peace, Black Mamba.
On the first episode of 2020, we discuss some of the news coming out of England and Spain. Oh, and if you couldn't tell, Elyas is excited that Barcelona have a new coach.
It's the end of the 2010's and we're looking back on what was, what could've been, and what should've been.
On the penultimate episode of this year, we discuss the most recent (delayed) Clasico match that ended in deadlock. We'll also have a long discussion about the major incident that occurred between Rudiger and Spurs fans during Chelsea's win over Spurs this past weekend. Meanwhile, Ancelotti and Arteta make it official.
Episode 29: UEFA's Super League Is Formed by Rheon Trim & Elyas Tecle
We're back from our Thanksgiving holiday with our friends and family to bring you another episode of football discussion on Emery's sacking, where the top teams in England are at, and even a preview of the Euro's next year. (We'll get to more La Liga next week. We missed THAT much).
Well, Poch is out. But within 24 hours, not only was Pochettino fired, Mourinho was also hired. Is this a weird episode of Football Manager? Well, take a listen to our thoughts and our friend Desmond discuss where this leaves Spurs for the rest of the season and in the future.
On this week's podcast, Rheon and Elyas go over Champions League Matchday 4 from a few weeks ago with another special guest. Note: The International break isn't THAT boring, but we miss club football.
One of the biggest European match ups this weekend. There's no sugar coating it. It's gonna be big. Check out our preview now featuring a special guest!
Is it just us or are the top teams in Europe just not performing consistently this season? No? Just us? Well either way, this week we go over this past weekend's results including basically every top team in Europe dropping points in some capacity.
On this week's episode of The Overlap, we discuss the past two match days in Spain (this past weekend and midweek), the lack of an El Classico, and why, once again, Messi is the GOAT. Over on the Premier League side of things (43:11), we review Arsenal's defensive/captaincy woes, Spurs lack of..well...a team, and Leicester's thrashing of Southampton. And much, much more!
Man, it seems like every week the big teams are dropping points. This time around, Liverpool and Real Madrid drop major points in their respective leagues against Manchester United and Mallorca, respectively. Elyas and Rheon discuss which teams suffered the most this weekend and who were the winners from this past weekend.
We felt strongly enough to make a quick extra podcast about this. This time around we're talking some USMNT (or rather the lack there of) and the issues surrounding La Liga scheduling, specifically, the scheduling of El Clásico next weekend.

“Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win." - Gary Lineker As promised, we are back with our review of the second matchday of the Champions League! Among other things, we discuss Real Madrid's shock draw at home to Club Brugge, the courageous effort by Jesse Marsch's RB Salzburg against European Champions at Anfield, and, of course, the embarrassment of the lowly Tottenham Hotspurs by the magnificent Bayern Munich. If you like what you're hear...
On part 2 of this week's podcast, we continue our journey through La Liga while Elyas *successfully* explains why the Spanish League is not boring or uncompetitive...incompetitive...? Uncompetitive. Also, the Madrid Derby was the second nap we took this weekend.
On this week's podcast, we discuss a LOT of issues (football and non-football related) in England this past weekend including the snoozefest that was Arsenal vs Manchester United, another Liverpool & City win, and Rheon's Blues picking up three needed points.
This weekend, we bring our friend, Jay, onto the podcast to talk Arsenal's big game against United on Monday night. We may or may not have some thoughts on Ole too.
"All this tippy tappy stuff everybody keeps going on about as the right way to play football is all a load of bollocks." - Sam Allardyce In this week's episode of the The Overlap, we begin our discussion in Spain as Elyas officially denounces Ernesto Valverde, Real Madrid rebounds from the embarrassment in Paris, and Atlético keeps pace at the top. In England, we look back at Liverpool's impressive victory at Stamford Bridge, Spurs disappointingly dropping points again away to Leciester, while M...
On this week's episode, we review the first match week of the Champion's League and discuss whether or not Zidane will have a job by the end of the season.
“Please do not call me arrogant because what I say is true. I’m European champion. I’m not one out of the bottle, I think I’m a special one.” - Jose Mourinho. In this episode of The Overlap, we try to make sense of the most stunning result in of the season so far as Norwich defeats Manchester City, Arsenal's second half collapse at Watford, and comfortable wins for Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Then in Spain, we discuss Atletico's slip up at Real Sociedad, Real Madrid's u...
On this week's podcast, we go through the different Champions League Groups, give our predictions, and give our take on some of the possible surprises we could see this season on Europe's biggest stage.
"I've never played for a draw in my life." - Sir Alex Ferguson. This week on The Overlap podcast, we look back at the wild North London Derby, Chelsea and Manchester United drop points again, while Liverpool and Manchester City maintain the status quo. In Spain, Barcelona puts forth another disappointing performance without Lionel Messi, Real Madrid is hilariously saved by Gareth Bale, and Atletico Madrid perform a stunning comeback to maintain their perfect start to the season. Then, we stop of...
