  Sol Campbell: Inside the Invincibles, Why No Striker Ever Owned Him & Arsenal's CR7 Near-Miss

  Aug 13, 202655 min

  Arsenal legend Sol Campbell pulls up to The Late Run and starts swinging: modern football is "too easy," the tough tackles are gone, and no striker on earth (not even prime R9) could ever say he had Sol's number. He takes us inside the Invincibles: training sessions that were "like matches," Pirès scoring 40-yarders with his instep, Henry and Bergkamp as a double act you had to out-think, and why that unbeaten record still stands 20+ years later.Then it gets personal: the REAL hate between Keane's United and Vieira's Arsenal, and the retired United players who still hold the grudge. He shares how deep club tribalism runs in England compared to America, the day Thierry Henry tried to recruit Sol to MLS, and how Ferguson beat Wenger to a young Cristiano Ronaldo. Plus, Ocho asks the GOAT question and gets his heart broken in real time. Then Sol breaks down what Tuchel got wrong in England's collapse, and he closes with the three times he made history for the culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Ocho & Katie Nolan are on a MISSION to Convert American Sports Casuals to Soccer

  Aug 6, 20261h 7m

  Emmy-winning sports "talker" Katie Nolan pulls up to The Late Run and answers the GOAT question before Ocho can even finish asking it. She explains why she'll "defend soccer to the death," why being flippant about the world's most popular game is a huge negative to you as a person, and how meeting the US Women's National Team in 2015 turned her into a believer.Then it goes deeper: the $35-vs-$5,000 problem locking American kids out of soccer and the 50 million people who tuned into USA–Belgium confirming exactly why casual American fans don't watch. Plus, why it's unfair that Carli Lloyd catches more heat than every other legend when critiquing USMNT, and the infamous German fan who kissed Katie live on TV at the 2014 World Cup.

  Trevor Noah: England BLEW It, Ocho CALLS OUT Harry Kane & Why American Sports All Feel the Same

  Jul 17, 202639 min

  Two days before the biggest World Cup Final of our lifetime, Trevor Noah pulls up to The Late Run. He tells the story behind the photo of Messi bathing baby Lamine Yamal nearly two decades before they meet in a World Cup Final, explains why the whole world is rooting for Spain on Sunday, and calls out England for playing scared. Then it goes deeper: street football under apartheid, why your country's style of play tells you everything about where you grew up, the 2010 vuvuzelas (and the player who blamed them), and why he still stands by "Africa won the World Cup." Plus, Ocho and Trevor debate the USMNT flameout, whether the USA would beat Belgium in a best of 7, and why Alexi Lalas is actually good for American soccer. Learn more about your ad choices.
