All right, everybody. Welcome back. Sam's army episode two point two 24. We got a lot to talk about this week. We're going to start out headlines messy PSG, USL and Bruce arena, women's world cup. We will put a little bow on the US women's national team sadness, maybe offer prediction or two weekly, what if we'll actually also be women's national team related, then primarily time.

The 2023 24 season kicks off on Friday with man city visiting Vincent company and Burnley. So that will be, ooh, I cannot wait. So of course we're going to help you try get your mind right with some previews and a little bit of predictions just so you guys can laugh at us since, you know, the stoppage or the window still open and a lot will change, but whatever. Stoppage time. I have in Tony's best bets and everyone's favorite segment. Go as and then stay tuned for a great chat with

one of if not the best striker in the USL championship and Tommy's teammate, Phil Goodram of FC Tulsa, who talks about life as a GSU member, obviously a very credible one. And his, you know, recent brush with controversy when he got offers from MLS and some and a European club last winter, but Memphis, his team as of last season decided not to sell him.

So it was one of those sort of thorny intersections between soccer and business. So anyway, very interesting conversation and a great guy. So stay tuned for that at the end, but now it is time to welcome in the distinguished

Tweetle Heavy panel of beauties here with me this week. It was going to be a Tweetle D dominant and dumber, but we lost who I'm going to call a donor since he bailed on us, Tommy McConaugher, he had a team meeting.

So he's out. We got two Tweetles though. First up, Tweetle number one, Mikey podcast, who is no doubt still drunk, if not hungover from the success of Arsenal's, you know, famous trophy winning performance yesterday in the highly prestigious community shield game.

So my question to you, Mikey, is what exactly did Arsenal do to deserve playing in that game?

Good question. And I guess if Tweetle is too good, you can't just have them scream, so you're going to have to throw someone else out there.

I'm here bringing a fun fact to do today. It is no longer called the charity shield. And then there's not a community shield because the FAA did not meet the men.

And we're required to consider itself a charity. It comes with charitable acts. So that is why the name has been changed, but that's beyond the record.

Where did you learn that and when did you learn that better today?

Oh, I don't even know if I know they changed the name. Thank you. Thank you for the quote from Colin Miller, I'm totally reminder that community shield was legally forced to change its name away from charity because the FAA failed to meet the minimum obligations of actually giving money to charity.

What year did it happen? Is that like recent 2002? Okay.

All right. Well, Mikey, just a well spring of very useful knowledge. Well done, Mikey. Good start.

Tweetle number two, coming to us from the other side of the planet. So everyone clap a little extra loud right now as we introduce Mitchell Goulet, aka overtime Mitch,

who is down in, I don't know, the little land next to the land down under, I don't know exactly what we call New Zealand these days.

Kiwi, Kiwi land. How's it going down there?

We're not letting you pick the nicknames for us for damn sure it's going well.

I just flew down to Auckland for the US women's national team to come out and support them.

I received notification of the result as soon as I landed and I along with a bunch of other American supporters were like, well, shit, now what?

I was a guy in American overall sit next to me on the plane and we just kind of looked at each other like, well, I don't know, you want to go to a bar or something?

It was it was really weird, but happy to be down here nonetheless.
