This week wraps up a little quiet, primarily because Ollie stayed up to 5am UK time trying to watch all the Major League Soccer Playoff coverage that he could. He does it for you! And our guest for the day is the Independent's football writer who is busy working away in Germany after a hectic week in German football We start things off by touching on the Dortmund loss to Arsenal at home in the Champions League. Ollie spend a lot of time talking about the collapse of the German's goal keeper, but should we be giving Arsenal more credit. As an Englishman who writes on German football for a living, Kit will offer up an interesting perspective. Bayern Munich do not look like they will be slipping up any time soon, so we try to pick apart the club to see what cracks, if any, can any of their competition exploit? Plus, plenty more to look forward to in the Bundesliga with Kit as well. Rafa comes on to look at the Western Conference Playoff matches that saw Portland Timber and Real Salt Lake go through over the Seattle Sounders and the Los Angeles Galaxy. It looks like the Galaxy won't make it a record third straight MLS Cup win but the way they were dispatched was hardly enough to keep Ollie awake and firing. Thankfully the Timbers came to his rescue, and proved Rafa's point that Ollie simply cannot deny, that the Sounders are a soft team when the game is on the line. We send you off into the weekend with some IKTS. Press play on your podcasting device already. |
