Don’t worry my weekly podcast ‘Soccer Basics’ by me, your host, Sean Brown will help engage you by guiding you to understanding the fundamentals. Soccer was my first sport and I’ve been playing and watching since I can remember. I’ve been a fan, player, and spectator through three generations of talents, from Ronaldinho’s generation of world class technical players, to Messi and Ronaldo’s generation of European dominance, and now the new generation of talents like Lamine Yamal creating their legacy as of this writing. As popular as Soccer has become in the US it still feels like a new sport. With my insights and experience as a player and a fan I want to remove the misconce
