323: Christian Polanco Interview: The funny side of the beautiful game

A stand-up comedian, Christian Polanco is not your run-of-the-mill member of the soccer media landscape. In fact, he hardly considers himself a part of that group at all. However, Polanco and co-host Alexis Guerreros take the complexity of the beautiful game and make it into comedy.Polanco discusses all kinds of things about how his time as a comedian opened doors into the soccer world: The role of the FIFA video games in developing his fandom. Finding a Premier League side to support. Starting out as a comedian. Bridging the gap between comedy and sports. The role of NYCFC in his career development. Asking Patrick Vieira a bold question. Going to Germany to play soccer. Also, much more. Polanco also talks about the Cooligans Podcast and how fuboTV allowed the program to go to new heights.
