All in on Leicester City with the @NewYorkFoxes

2019/12/11

We did it! We booked a Leicester City guest. But we never could have guessed at how cool this guest would be. He's been supporting the club since 1998, so he has seen a lot of shit. That's through several relegations, a quick stop in League One, a couple of years duking it out in the Championship, the return to the Prem, the title, Champions League, mainstays, and now the team that is giving Liverpool the most cause to look over their shoulder. Jason and his twin brother started New York Foxes,

It's Time to Move On from the NFL

Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast ·

2019/11/14

Longtime friend and Vicksburg (Michigan) Soccer alum Matt Woodhams joins the poddy this week. The boys attempt to nurture his budding appreciation for soccer as he becomes disenchanted with the NFL. This is the fun part. We take a test to figure out what team would be the best fit for him in terms of support. Then we take a drive down memory lane with him as he and the Devil reminisce about their long faded soccer careers.

A Glimpse Behind the Scenes of the LA Galaxy

Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast ·

2019/11/06

Josh Guesman from the Corner of the Galaxy podcast and blog comes into the devil's lair to talk about what it's like covering the LA Galaxy as a reporter. He gives us a glimpse into press coverage from MLS, what Zlatan is like as a person, how the MLS has grown since he started covering it in 2009, and where he thinks it's going in the next 10 years. We also ponder about what the LA Galaxy would look like if David Beckham never came. Then hop over to the El Traffico to talk about the new, exciting

Moussa Dembele, we love you. I'm sorry that I missed your prime. We discuss the current state of Tottenham and Manchester United. Leicester City and how good they look. Pulisic's hat trick and Chelsea. Sergino Dest and why it's exciting that he selected USMNT. We also admit that GGG hasn't yet had the full squad in place because of injuries (Adams and Weah). We ponder about whether being a USMNT fan is honestly worth it. Then other stuff. I also talk about my overactive bladder...you're welcome. I

Bonus Episode! The NBA Sucks Now.

2019/10/25

Noah Perkins and I have been internet friends for a long time. We don't want to brag or anything, but we're kind of big deals in Japan. We co-wrote a column called "Mike and Perk" for the (now defunct) #2 NBA magazine in all of Japan (HOOP Japan). Noah has watched from a distance as I have abandoned the sport I once loved and ran away with my new mistress; soccer. He explains why he continues to love the game of basketball with the exception of the NBA. He also tells a great story about how a former

Oh to be 24. Our guy @nicodegallo (I love his handle) is just a delightful man to converse with. He tells us all about his experience with a press pass at the International Champions Cup games. He regales us with stories about how cool the Arsenal players are in person. Yuck. Then we talk about his beloved Man City and their amazing depth. The odd losses early in the season. What it's like to play down an early goal. Then a dive into the USMNT dungeon. And of course; delightful champions league

The Devil's Inner Monologue

2019/10/16

Have you ever wanted to jump inside the devil's mind for a full hour? Here's your chance. This man didn't stop talking for 56 straight minutes. It was organized, thorough, and fun. He wrote an outline and switched up the topics to keep it fun. The episode covers USMNT, Manchester United, the Devil's favorite movies, the Devil's top 5 games ever attended (any sport), a thoughtful monologue on referees, VAR, and the way we treat them. Just so much more. It honestly might be my favorite rooster and

2019/10/09

We tasked our #1 fan, Bryan Helder, to come up with 10 questions for us to answer about the Premier League. During this process, you find out which of the boys is left in the stone age in terms of the boxer/brief conversation. Then the episode dips and dives with delightful conversation that touches all parts of the soccersphere, even "Major League" Soccer.

This episode came immediately following the absolute slaughter of Tottenham Hotspur at the hands of the Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich. Gnabry, an ex-Arse player, had 4 goals and claimed that "North London is Red". Tottenham has to remember all of this nonsense for when they march in to Munich and kick their asses in the rematch. But anyway; that's over. We talk about Manchester United in general, their game against Arsenal, Europa League briefing (prior to the tie today), Brad tells us all about

This Seesaw Ride is Out of Control

Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast ·

2019/09/25

Wow. Losing to Colchester United in the Carabao Cup is pathetic. No doubt. But it's so early in the season and let's all just enjoy the ride. We start off sad about Tottenham and Manchester United for the first 20 minutes but then loosen up enough to dive into Rooster and the Devil after dark with a little role play. A lot of topics are covered. Champions League. South Coast Derby. Wayne Rooney. Troy Deeney. Leicester and West Ham. Arguments over our hatred of Liverpool (except Brad) and Man City

A Proper South Coast Derby - Southampton-Portsmouth

Rooster and the Villain: An American Soccer Podcast ·

2019/09/20

Emi Buendia, from Argentina. He came to City from sunny Spain. He's 5 foot 7, he's football heaven. Please don't take my Emi away. Awwww! That's what Norwich City fans sing to that little South American football guru. What about that win over Man City, eh? We cover a lot of the EPL, UCL, but the meat of this podcast sandwich is talking about the Southampton and the South Coast Derby coming up in the Carabao Cup! We talk about the history, expectation, and choose whether we're Scummers or Skates for

Racist chants in Italy? Double U, Tee, Eff. Let's stop it children. We dive into Lukaku, Eto'o, our war against Taylor Twellman, an apology to Alexi Llalas, and look forward to the Premier League coming back this weekend! A fun meandering episode that gets a tad off topic but I think that's part of the fun. Shout out Art, Helder, and our other three listeners.

Neck Tattoos, Flannery's, and the International Break

Breathe. The season has just begun. We take some time to reflect on the Premier League season thus far and lament would could have been and dream about what could be. We cover the North London Derby and Brad's experience at Flannery's (Spurs bar in NYC) in depth, have Mike's daughter Abby make her first appearance, and talk about our early season overreactions and predictions. Then some Champions League fodder. Then some USMNT chatter because we're back to it and excited about the future. Not sure

It was a somber week for Rooster and the Devil. Two losses from squads they ain't have no business losing to. Are Man City and Liverpool already pulling away? Is Arsenal actually good? Nahhhh. We're going to kick their ass in the North London Derby. Jimmy thinks we'll tie 3-3. But let's fucking go!!! North London Derby's are the best. You can take El Traffico and stick it so far up your ass. This summary is digressing. Which we do, in fun ways, on the podcast all of the time. But we talk about

Puskas Award Complaints and Early Season Pondering

2019/08/21

Did Neves just score an early favorite Puskas nominee against Manchester United in a devastating fashion? He just may have. What a goal. In the end, a tie in the Molineaux is improvement over last year and Manchester United has been fantastic in stretches of the early season. They could have easily won that game and they should have (cough::Pogba PK::cough). We dance around the Premier League beginnings, show love to Sheffield United and Norwich City (TEEEEEEMU), talk about how much Newcastle might

Another lost episode from the boys. We spoke with Paul Peterson about some amazing soccer trips that him and his wife have taken in the pass. But we lost the audio. We need to do some soul searching on interview techniques... But, the boys spoke for about half an hour on all of things you have come to expect from Rooster and the Devil. Deep dives on the Spurs win over Aston Villa and ManU's win over Chelsea. Then we jump around the league before ending with thinking we had an interview coming up for
