Let's Fix Football 112: Bad Take Bonanza!

Let's Fix Football

It's international break and there's not a ton to talk about--aside from Italy's SHOCKING elimination from the 2018 World Cup at the hands of a Zlatan-less Sweden side. Hosts Evan Mateer and Gabe Lezra briefly touch on the World Cup qualifying news, Italy's incomprehensible decision not to start their best striker in a game they needed to win and some other odds and ends. They also break down some of the new #SaveTheCrew news, including the scam emails with Precourt, SBNation's fascinating breakdown of the Crew's solid financial situation, and their improbable run to the MLS cup semifinals. THEN it's the main event folks. Gabe and Evan are on their bullshit once again--and this time they cover everything from some absolutely absurd Pep Guardiola dick sucking, "I told you so takes" regarding Sebastian Giovinco, and good old-fashioned Italian racism. Bad takes go all the way back to 2003 (hey friends, who's better Freddy "the GOAT" Adu or Lionel "total bust" Messi?) and continue into the present day. Buckle up fam. It's an awesome episode.
