Episode 215: The Slog

The Overlap ·

2023/10/19

We're not sure where Rheon comes up with these words, but we're gonna roll with it anyway. This week, we've got another international break, so no club football. BUT, we did get a chance to see the USMNT play Germany over the weekend LIVE. We give our reactions from that game along with the big win against Ghana in Nashville. Plus, what are our expectations of this team headed into next year's Copa America (which they should qualify for)? Find out on this week's episode!

Episode 214: Best of the Best

The Overlap ·

2023/10/11

Disclaimer: Rheon does not know how to work technology or look after cats in the first 30 seconds. On this week's episode, we're going over the big game in England (and Europe, honestly) with Arsenal's narrow victory over City! We also discuss who the best player currently in the Premier League might be, which teams are on the up and deserve some due praise, and maybe (just, maybe) a little roast of PSG. Later on, we get to discussing Girona's climb to top of the table in La Liga

Episode 213: A Comedic Weekend

The Overlap ·

2023/10/04

*Apologies for the lower audio quality this week, Elyas didn't bring his mic on his travels* On this week's episode, we go over the biggest stories across England and Spain - at a rapid fire pace! From VAR's decision in the Spurs v Liverpool match, previewing City vs Arsenal, and giving our flowers to Aston Villa and Luton. The La Liga portion of the pod got cut a little short, so we'll go over those details more next week. BUT, we still had a chance to review the Madrid Derby!

Episode 212: State of Affairs

The Overlap ·

2023/09/14

During this September's international break, we cover the state of affairs across the Premier League up until this (relatively) pre-mature point. Featuring a review of where the top teams sit, along with an update on the Rubiales scandal, and some praise for the youngsters in Spanish football!

Episode 211: Luis Manuel Rubiales

The Overlap ·

2023/08/31

This topic deserves its own podcast. In this shortened episode, Elyas reviews the details of what's occurred with the controversy in Spain around the Spanish Federation President, the political context behind it, and we deservedly cover Spain's victory over England to become World Champions. We also briefly cover the hype around Lamine (Lionel) Yamal.

Episode 210: You Get a Card & You Get a Card

The Overlap ·

2023/08/31

There were so many red cards handed out over the last two matchdays that we almost lost track. Also, Rheon is a cat dad now. Also also, Elyas is sleepy from jetlag (boohoo!). This week though, we cover everything major that happened in the Premier League from the red cards, to unexpected results, and we argue over whether Everton will get relegated (spoiler: they will).

Episode 209: You're a Plant

The Overlap ·

2023/08/15

Apparently, Rheon thinks we're all plants. Listen to find out why. BUT, in all seriousness, we go over the game of the weekend in England (Chelsea vs Liverpool) as well as a final recap of our season preview for the other teams we didn't get to last week. We wrap up with a beautiful ode to whatever that Getafe vs Barcelona "game" was.

Episode 208: All Grown Up

The Overlap ·

2023/08/09

Look, we're not saying we're old. All we're saying is that, after having done this podcast for 4 years now, we've gone through some growth. And that means a new season, with a new format, and new backgrounds! Listen this week as we go through our (partial) preview of the Premier League season!

Episode 207: We're Baaaaaaack

The Overlap ·

2023/06/22

Soooooo, we took a brief vacation. And by brief, we mean like a month. BUT, we're back and REFRESHED! Yes, we missed the end of the club seasons, the Europa and Champions League final, etc, but what we didn't miss? Transfer rumors, the USMNT balling out, and a little investment funds education! This week, we cover all of that and more - enjoy!

Episode 206: Regularly Scheduled Programming

The Overlap ·

2023/05/18

We're back! Sorry for the week long absence, but with life getting in the way sometimes, we weren't able to record last week. HOWEVER, this week we're back with VERY immediate reactions to the Champions League semi-final results. Spoiler alert: Manchester City are good at football. We also touch on the Top 4 race in England and Barcelona (yes, Barcelona) winning the La Liga title for the first time in 4 years!

Episode 205: Hopium

The Overlap ·

2023/05/03

As Rheon so desperately calls it, Hopium. The thing that keeps football fans going. This week on the pod, we go over all the big results in England, Spain, and abroad, including a surprising Messi & PSG fall out. With Liverpool narrowly squeaking out a win (with some help from Spurs, of course) and Barcelona with one hand on the La Liga title for the first time in 4 years, there's a lot to discuss. Enjoy!

01:11:26

Episode 204: A Game of Champions

The Overlap ·

2023/04/27

On this week's mid-week episode of the pod, we go over the BIG game of the weekend: Arsenal vs Manchester City. Are Arsenal out of the title race? Is it really City's to lose? Also, we cover trends across football, Seville going on step further in the Europa League, and the relegation battle in England!

Episode 203: They Were Movin' It

The Overlap ·

2023/04/20

On this week's episode of the pod, we shift our focus mainly to the Champions League quarterfinal results and predictions for the semifinals (hint: we're polarized on Real Madrid, but not in the way you'd expect). We briefly touch on the relegation battle happening in the Premier League. Rheon seems to think Chelsea have a shot of going down (not really though). Cheer him up by listening to this week's episode! P.S. Apologies for the audio quality in the first 25 minutes or so. It

Episode 202: The Elimination Chamber

The Overlap ·

2023/04/12

This week, we recorded on a Tuesday night so we've only gotten through half of the Champions League quarterfinal ties scheduled this week. However, we focus our efforts on the big game in England this past weekend (Arsenal vs Liverpool), briefly touch on City's ridiculous win over Bayern, and drop some fun facts from this weekend's Villarreal vs Real Madrid matchup. SPOILER ALERT: Succession Season 4 Episode 3 is discussed at the beginning, so if you haven't watched, fast forward

Episode 201: Balance of Power

The Overlap ·

2023/04/05

We're celebrating 3.5 years of The Overlap and 200+ episodes, so what better way to do that then by expanding the pod this week to talk about ALL of Europe's Top 5 leagues! We start off in the Premier League, go over the big City vs Liverpool clash, go through the Top 4 battle, and also review the Bayern v Dortmund and PSG vs Lyon matches. Enjoy!

Episode 200: In's & Out's

The Overlap ·

2023/03/29

200 episodes. 3.5 years. Insane. This episode is dedicated to all of you that have supported us and this podcast over the years! This week, with the international break in full swing, we go over all four of the Champions League quarterfinal ties along with some news around Europe (read: Why on Earth did Nagelsmann get sacked?) Also, what's next for Conte?

Episode 199: No Hay Liga

The Overlap ·

2023/03/22

The title says it all. With a Barcelona win in El Clasico this past weekend, the La Liga title edges ever so close to returning to Catalonia! Outside of Spain, we take a look at the continued "title race" in the Premier League, who might be candidate for Player of the Year, and which teams truly have the best (worst?) chance of going down at the end of the season.

Episode 198: Biomechanics

The Overlap ·

2023/03/16

Between the Champions League, the Prem, and La Liga all in action over the last few days, we had to divvy things up. No league talk on this week's episode, but we go over all of the Ro16 matches in the Champions League and who the favorites to go one step further might be!

Episode 197: The Red Wedding

The Overlap ·

2023/03/07

What did we witness on Sunday? Was it real? Was it a simulation? After a day of processing, we've come to the conclusion that it REALLY DID HAPPEN! From the North West derby, Arsenal's late dramatics, and a thumping win for Atletico Madrid over Sevilla, there was almost too much to go over this week. But, really, there's never too much footy.
