Summary

With December winding down, it's time to do some reflecting on 2015, a year in which we were able to, at last, bring back the Planet Fútbol Podcast. We're thankful that we were able to re-launch, we're even more thankful for every single one of our listeners and we're grateful that we were able to welcome some terrific guests while we discussed all of the happenings in the soccer world on a weekly basis. Over the last eight months we assembled an interview lineup that included three World Cup winners and a host of other international stars, coaches and executives, so it's only appropriate that as we compile a best-of edition of our show, we go position by position to come up with a five-a-side team (plus a coach) we'd take to battle on the field any day of the week. == The Planet Futbol Podcast is brought you by the SeatGeek app, available in app stores and at seatgeek.com.

0:47.0	Alex, I believe this is the first time we've had your voice gracing the pod.
0:52.0	I think so. I think the only time before was when I chimed in to say
0:56.1	that Kansas City sports were doing well at the time that they were doing well.
1:00.5	So it's nice to actually talk about soccer once on this podcast.

1:16.9	We've been blessed in the last what four or five months since we relaunched the
1:20.6	podcast to have some great guests on the show with us and that got you to think it.
1:26.4	Yeah, it did. The idea actually came to me after we had, I think it was Carly Lloyd on and we were starting to get some momentum with getting some
1:34.5	guests and I was thinking, you know, like, man, if we could just get somebody at every position,
1:40.0	we would have probably the most badass five aside team ever assembled.
