VUSA Pod #80: Allen chats with Robin and Jamie Kemble

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/09/08

Allen welcomes Jamie Kemble to the podcast for the first time. Robin joins us as well. Jamie introduces himself, and then we discuss the draw against Atleti (I mean, we had to, right?), and then we analyze Villarreal's transfer window and how best to use all the players we have. And we have questions. For instance, Paco Alcácer.....is he going to return to scoring form on the pitch? We're amazed we've kept three left backs--which one might end up being the odd man out in January? With all these

VUSA Pod #79: Charlie Tuley explains the La Liga...

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/09/04

Every week, Villarreal USA is featuring the predictions of an expected goals-based model developed by Mitchel Green and adapted by Charlie Tuley for La Liga. Today Charlie joins me and Zach Hicks for an explanation of how the model works. We also discuss how we should interpret the predictions, what sort of tweaks could one make to the model to (perhaps) improve it, etc. and of course also understand what its limitations are. Zach and I really enjoyed this discussion and I'm sure we'll have Charlie

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/08/28

Allen and Sidarth discuss the Champions League draw and fixture list.

VUSA Pod #76: The Supercup Preview, and we rag on...

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/08/09

Allen is joined by Robin, Sid and Rahul. First part is our not-terribly-optimistic outlook for the Supercup, given all our injuries, Covid doubts, and everything else, but hey. We can do this! After the break we talk about the implications of Messi leaving Barcelona, both for that team and for the league. If they end up being able to register their new signings, they won't be so bad, but the extent of their financial mismanagement is truly staggering. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/06/09

Allen catches up with longtime friend Thomas McIlroy--Thomas first came to Vila-real to teach English in 2011-12 and, after returning to his native UK for awhile, joined Villarreal CF's English-language communication department in 2018. He was at the Europa League Final, but not in the stands--working in the pressbox! Which didn't stop him from being as emotional about the moment as the rest of us. It's a really exciting time for him, heading up Villarreal's English-language communications

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/05/25

Allen and Sidarth, longtime Villarreal supporters, talk about the end of the league season, but after the break we address what it means to make a Europa League Final, how achieving it has changes the narrative about Villarreal, and how we think our team might line up if some of our injured players can be available.

That's right, we are not even going to talk about Saturday's match. Instead, it's all about the Europa League Final. (well, we do review the Sevilla match as far as whether that might tell us anything, but we pretty much figure we're finishng 7th in the league) Learn more about your ad choices.

The founder of Villarreal USA, maddi, joins us for this special occasion; so too does Ravi, longtime Villarreal fan who was a site writer once upon a time, before working for the Seattle Sounders took priority (!), and Sid.

VUSA Pod #67: Allen and Sid preview the match at Arsenal

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/05/05

Not much need to beat around the bush here--there's one topic and one topic only, the upcoming second leg at Arsenal. (Well, we do rubbish the penalty decision in the first leg and VAR's non-use in what it was designed for, fair enough). How will Unai Emery set up his squad? Do we go defensive early, or try to get away goals first to put the tie away? And who replaces Juan Foyth and Etienne Capoue in the lineup? Endavant Villarreal! Learn more about your ad choices.

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/04/27

The main part of this podcast is--of course--our preview of the first leg tie with Arsenal at the Ceramica. Will it be a wide-open slugfest, a tactical chess match, or.... And who will Emery play in goal? We all give our predictions for the first leg, too. After the break we remember Robin Harris, "Mr. Villarreal" who passed away recently and was a friend to many of us who visited Vila-real, and we also salute the Villarreal Women who have been promoted to the Primera!

VUSA Pod #65: The European Super League Mess

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/04/20

In light of the bombshell news that 12 clubs were going ahead with forming a "European Super League", Allen and Sidarth discuss the chaos and how it might be resolved. On the one hand, the 12 are trying to position themselves outside UEFA (maybe understandable given their reputation for probity), on the other, the 12 are creating a perpetual, locked-in revenue stream of their own (which is totally against the concept of competition to earn European places). We recorded this while Florentino Perez

VUSA Pod #64: A sense of the inevitable

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/04/16

And lo, it has come to pass. It was inevitable, wasn't it? Villarreal and Arsenal face each other in a Europa League semifinal. Not only do these clubs match up for the third time in a European semifinal, but it's also a contest between Unai Emery's current club and his former one. Allen and Sidarth enjoy the moment, reminisce about our prior semifinals, etc. (plus, we do get some brief discussion of Javi Calleja joining Alaves and the Juan Cala incident after our break) Learn more about your ad

Villarreal USA: for Villarreal CF fans ·

2021/03/29

Villarreal dispatched Dinamo Kyiv and now face a tougher task, we expect, in Dinamo Zagreb. Yes, we're still interested in the league, and we start there, but with the draw at least giving us a fighting chance to get to the final, we can't resist looking ahead to Zagreb...

This was recorded before the Valencia debacle, but I had problems uploading it--if you want to skip our ruminations on how we thought that match would play out, skip to about 18 minutes in!! Allen and Sid mostly talk about the Europa League this season and how we might end up in something called the Conference League next season. Or, maybe not. Learn more about your ad choices.
