Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Pablo Maurer are joined by the Rory Smith of The New York Times to discuss two nations divided by a common language of soccer.

Can we ever accept the word “winningest”, why were we so obsessed with Bob Bradley’s soccer vocabulary, how much damage did Green Street do for US-UK footballing relations, and just what is it about bald American goalkeepers in the Premier League?
