Summary

Rich begins the hour breaking down the proposed new soccer Super League that would be comprised of the top Premier League teams, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and others, and what the impact would be on existing European leagues and the FIFA World Cup. ‘Men in Blazers’ Co-Host Roger Bennett and Rich discuss the “seismic” changes coming to international soccer in the face of the proposed Super League, if fans in England and Europe will boycott the new league if it destroys their old, beloved leagues, if we’ll see top German clubs like FC Bayern Munich round out the proposed new league and why Liverpool could be the linchpin in determining the fate of European football. Rich wraps up the hour taking calls and discussing the possibility the top college football teams in the country would ever break off from the NCAA to form their own “super league” like the top soccer clubs in Europe are getting set to do And make sure you check out Rich's other podcast: Just Getting Started with Rich Eisen.
