On today's episode, Ryan is joined by Graham and Taylor to take a look at some of the biggest results from the weekend, including...

1) AFC Wimbledon has a home and Ryan is happy!

2) Spurs got a win for their new manager, while Manchester City looked like they needed a goal-scoring forward

3) Man United harken all the way back to 2008 in their win over Leeds

4) Reports of Barcelona's on-field demise may have been exaggerated, even if their positive financial reports from a few years ago may have been.

5) Erling Haaland and Dortmund demonstrate that possession isn't the most important stat when it comes to crushing your opponent.

5) Seattle reigns supreme as Portland concede 6 at home... two of which were so, so pretty!

On today's show, Manuel Veth returns to discuss all-things Bundesliga! Ahead of the start of the domestic campaign in Germany, we took an in-depth look at many of the teams in the league, and got into some strangely specific chats like Youssoufa Moukoko being so good that the league had to change its rules, Stuttgart dealing with fraudulent documents, Wolfsburg needing to learn to count, and which club is nicknamed The Breisgau Brazilians.

But there's also more conventional previewing, like what Bayern will look like under Nagelsmann, how ready Jesse Marsch and Leipzig's many new, young faces will be for the start of the campaign, Borussia Dortmund's tactical changes under Marco Rose, why Gladbach will be much more competitive this season, and how Leverkusen are in a growth period as opposed to a rebuild. All that and much more!

It’s transfer time, baby. On this episode, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe discuss some of the latest moves in the summer transfer window. First, of course, is a chat about Lionel Messi’s departure from Barcelona and his reported move to PSG. How did this happen? What does it mean for Barcelona and La Liga? And now how much pressure is on PSG to win the Champions League?

After discussion of that Messi situation, it’s on to analysis of Jack Grealish’s fit at Manchester City, Romelu Lukaku’s reported move to Chelsea, a handful of other Premier League deals, and some love for Marseille’s summer business.

1) When club options are included in transfers, can a player reject the option by refusing to agree to a new contract?

2) What is the FC Dallas academy doing differently than everyone else?

3) How did the Gold Cup shake up our USMNT depth charts? 

4) Why are soccer trophies called “silverware"? Why silver instead of gold?

5) Do soccer teams ever have spotters in the stands to help give managers a better idea of what's happening on the field?

6) How can an offensive team force a defensive team to “chase shadows”? And if your team has been shadow chasing, what can they do to fix that?

(Spoilers ahead)

An ad-free episode! Joe, Jordan, and Taylor spend almost an hour breaking down the USA's penalty-shootout win over the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the Olympics. Why did the US look so much more confident in the first half than in the second, what did the Dutch do to push the US back, and what secrets have we learned from the penalty shootout? There's also praise for individual performers, constructive criticism for a few others, and a look ahead to the semifinal vs Canada (what changes do we want to see from the USWNT and why)! Also, again, no ads!

Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe gather around their respective microphones to answer your lovely listener questions! From fictional club vs. national team games to what referees are looking for when they check players’ cleats, there was plenty to chat about. You can find the full list of questions that we answered down below:

1) What countries have a club team in their domestic league that would beat their national team?

2) Do teams have a strategy behind their kickoffs? 

3) If we there was a combined North and South American tournament, would people around the world care more than they do about the Gold Cup or the Copa America? And would that combined tournament help the USMNT?

4) When substitutes are checking in, why does the fourth official check the bottom of their cleats?

5) Watching the Euros, it seemed like Paul Pogba and Harry Maguire play better for France and England than they do for Manchester United. Why is that?

6) Why was Jaden Sancho included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad at Euro 2020?

Joe, Jordan, and Taylor are back together again (via the magic of the internet) for 45 minutes of audio-goodness, as they discuss the USWNT's emphatic 6-1 win over New Zealand in their second game at the Olympics. Why did the US look so much more comfortable this time and how much of that is the fault of New Zealand's approach? Plus, why so many offside goals, who shone the brightest in an overall bright performance for the USA, and where does the US go from here ahead of its final group stage opponent: Sam Kerr... err... Australia.

On this week’s episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam discuss Atlanta United’s decision to fire manager Gabriel Heinze. What went wrong for Heinze and Atlanta? Might Heinze have been looking to get out? And what’s next for Atlanta United?

Then it’s on to a conversation about a pair of Americans: Chris Mueller and Kyle Duncan. Orlando City’s Mueller is headed to Hibernian in Scotland after the MLS season, while the Red Bulls' fullback has been the subject of interest from several European clubs. Could Mueller and Duncan represent a larger trend?

In their final segment, Paul and Sam chat about Inter Miami (“Phil Neville is the reverse Ted Lasso” - Paul Tenorio), the Colorado Rapids, CF Montreal, and the Vancouver Whitecaps!

What did the US do well, what needs adjustment prior to the Martinique match, why rewatching can be a useful thing instead of recording an hour plus of quick takes at midnight, and why one of us isn't willing to write off anyone in this squad juuust yet. All that, plus Busio love, praise for Lletget, and confusion around a multifaceted defensive approach.

England conquered Ukraine in Rome with yet another shutout, to give the strongest indications yet that it may be coming home. But do Denmark have what it takes to halt the Three Lions, following their competent win over the Czech Republic? Quite possibly!

Taylor, Ryan, Joe and Graham convene on Day 18 of the Euros to discuss a brace of games that were.... absolutely brilliant! The French suffered Sommer-time sadness as they failed to get through a penalty shootout with Switzerland, while Spain got the better of an eight-goal thriller against Croatia. Who saw that coming? Not me.

The knockout round of Euro 2020 continues, and we've reached the point at which low-hanging titles are absolutely acceptable!

On this episode, your regular foursome reviews the Czech Republic's surprising 2-0 win over the Netherlands, and ponder the big questions like "are we all being too harsh on Frank de Boer" but then also "isn't a lot of this sort of his fault?" There's also praise for the Czech Republic's tactical approach, as well as some individual performers that stood out against a sea of orange stagnation. After that, it's on to another game that definitely happened... Belgium v Portugal. What was Portugal's game plan, why did this one get so ugly in the second half, and how did Belgium find a way to win. Plus, we close out by previewing tomorrow's elimination games: Croatia v Spain and France v Switzerland.
