Across the Atlantic, Liverpool’s frustrating habit of dropping points late in matches continues, raising questions about whether new manager Arne Slot deserves some blame. The hosts also take a look at Pep Guardiola and whether his legendary run with Manchester City F.C. might finally be losing its edge.

Meanwhile, Chelsea F.C. receive what feels like a light punishment for breaking Premier League financial rules—did they get off too easy? Plus, the guys fire off quick reactions to some of the week’s strangest and funniest football moments: Erling Haaland blasting a shot straight into someone’s face, Chelsea’s awkward pre-game huddle, the latest United States Men’s National Team World Cup kit reveal, and the big question facing Orlando City SC—who should be their next head coach?
