Episode 148 - Checkmate

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! On this week's episode of Bone & Beam United, the guys open up by sharing what the podcast schedule will be for this year's World Cup beginning next month, before diving into the story of Barcelona suing the Spanish newspaper El Mundo for releasing the details of Lionel Messi's contract (6:05). Along with that, they discuss how Barcelona's management has a tendency to throw their own players under the bus. Next, they get into Christian Pulisic's upcoming book, where he speaks about Thomas Tuchel misleading him on starting in the 2021 Champions league semifinal and more on his strained relationship with the former Chelsea manager (22:08). On the topic of Pulisic, the guys talk about his insane amount of time spent playing chess (28:18). Next, they discuss Crew2 and the team's upcoming conference semifinal game against Rochester NYFC this Saturday (34:22). Finally, Beam explains why EA Sports FIFA 23 will once again disappoint him, but how it's pretty cool that Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond will be in this year's game (38:13).
