Join The Cooligans
Soccer might be the world’s favorite sport, but is it still catering to the fans? The Cooligans explore Pep Guardiola’s direct comments regarding World Cup ticket prices and his stance that fans are the core of the game. We investigate the pitfalls of a profit-first approach to the tournament and question if football is drifting away from the very supporters who helped it achieve global fame.

Next, we’re honored to welcome USMNT and Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie for an engaging and insightful discussion about the current status of the national team. Weston shares why the squad remains optimistic despite recent challenges, what improvements are necessary heading into the upcoming summer, and how their experiences in the World Cup have equipped them for future pressures. He also discusses his aspirations with Juventus as the season reaches its pivotal moments.
To wrap up the episode, we turn our attention to Europe by thoroughly previewing both Champions League semi-finals. We analyze each matchup, outline the key storylines, and provide our predictions on who will advance—and who will ultimately take home the trophy. Additionally, we debate which team’s fans would value a Champions League victory the most.
