Episode 215: Project Restart

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes delve deep into the English Premier League’s Project Restart and discuss how it compares to the Canadian Premier League’s potential at a closed-door season. We also share our top hypothetical dream CPL player transfer, as well as which Canadian Premier League club we feel would best perform in a 5-a-side tournament.

Chad Marshall pleads to the football gods during the Cascadia Derby between Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Chad Marshall pleads to the football gods while Stefan Frei is attacked by a bumblebee during the Cascadia derby between Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Wherein Our Heroes get stoked on the Canada men’s national soccer team roster, praise Gigi Buffon for over 15 hours without conceding a goal, and reminisce about mid-90’s UK soft rock. Derby matches abound as Rashford continues his torrid pace, a Newcastle fan botches the hug of his life, and Vancouver takes the first Cascadia match of the season. Also, Jurgen panders, Shuttleworth’s mane stops penalties for New England, and we are not having Mix Diskerud as the most overrated player in MLS.

Episode 31: Double-Double

Wherein Our Heroes offer twice the righteousness in several cases: Steven Gerrard gets a biopic and joins the Telegraph, Caballero and Rashford garner fanfare for their coifs (or lack thereof), and Neapolitan robbers and El Hadji Diouf etch their names in the annals of unsavoury eternity. Van Gaal takes a dive as Manchester United beat Arsenal, Wenger makes excuses, and the Capital One Cup Final is an electrifying affair. Also, why are so many goalkeepers both American and bald?
