Nobody Wants This Stupid International Break: A Thanksgiving Story

Football Yanks

In a Football Yanks first, Ryan and Luke host in the absence of Derek. We go off the rails from his show notes discussing the Everton point deduction, its implications on other team's with less savory financial practices, and the impact this may have had on last year's relegated teams. The Yanks discuss how stupid the international break is, covering all the injuries and the lasting effect of an overloaded soccer calendar between international and club responsibilities. We talk through the US Men's team's performances internationally, which mostly amounts to an extensive list of injuries.
In one of the many detours from our conversations around soccer, we talk through the trauma of Ryan's childhood once again and how those experiences relate to France's destruction of Gibraltar. From US Academy progression to the separation of College academics from athletics, there's something for everyone in this week's Yank's pod.
