Summary

We're fortunate enough to be joined on our latest podcast by a pair of guests who know a thing or two about overcoming the odds. Christian Fuchs's Leicester City is closing in on the most improbable Premier League title ever, while Chris Wondolowski continues to climb the all-time MLS goal-scoring charts after emerging from obscurity years ago, and both join the podcast in a pair of entertaining and enlightening interviews. We start our show, though, with SI's Ben Lyttleton and Brian Straus breaking down the top stories in Europe. If you read Lyttleton's Monday column, you'll be familiar with the format, and with title races winding down and the summer approaching, he plucks the top storylines from each of the five major European leagues in light of recent events.

0:50.4	for us yet you absolutely should because you're missing out he basically
0:53.2	wraps up the biggest stories and all of the biggest leagues around the European
0:57.7	continent and for this Ben I want to look forward now there's been a lot of

1:15.0	That sounds good to you.
1:17.0	Sounds great, I mean the best place to start is in England because you've spoken to Christian Fuchs who's played a major part in Leicester City's surprising

But it could all change because the next couple of games are going to be hugely important for them and they're going to have to cope in the next game certainly without Jamie Vardy, their top scorer and one of three guys who's actually started every game for them this season.
