Sorare DownUnder

We're back! After a long hiatus due to laziness, the boys are back. We've got craftin', we've got Sunderland stacks, we've got happy meals, and after a long debate over ROI vs Fun on Soarer, we can finally settle the debate once and for all. Or can we?

It's the International break and nothing is happeni...WAIT no actually everything is happening! Kyle's rich, Alistair is poor, and some of our favourite segments are back in full force as we wait patiently for some sweet sweet REAL FOOTBALL

Heartbreak this weekend. Like literally our hearts have split in twain.But we roll on with heads held high, because it's time to go craftin! What could go wrong?We also discuss our latest grievances, spin the lunch wheel for the first time since the ice age, and discuss Kyle and Ali's arena tactics moving forward.

GW 1 is done and dusted and man it feels BAD. Missed streaks, the harsh realities of classic comps and panic selling across the board.We discuss arena strategies, uncover a few Bundesliga gems, plan for a new streaking challenge and....THE LUNCH WHEEL is back!

Damn you Sorare you've ensnared me once again.We've got wheels, we've got dancing, we've got some old faves and we've got a brand new co-host (RIP Simon)

We got Jerseys, we got Tendies, We got the Guiness Book of World Records. Damn boy it took some time due to some In-Laws interference but we are coming in hot with a new episode for our baby birds.

We are back again, and Simon is highly infectious. A slower start for the boys leads into many a shenanigan. The satanic olympics has the Twitter world fired up, Moon or Moon is back and Simon forgets to prepare in any way shape or form. Also, big news on the real life soccer front as Ali hits a milestone.

"it's been a while" -Staind, 2001

It's been a helluva season, we've had lunch wheels, we've had retirements, we've had highs, lows, disappointments & plenty of LOL's. Join us for one final episode before we take a break for the off season, spit out a baby or 7 and grow our moustaches as long as humanly possible.

This week on 'everyone's talking about the same topic", the SRD boys get into the big conversation in the Sorare space right now- "Is it getting too hard to win?" We discuss divisions, the potential of boxes to make or break Sorare, and whether it's possible to recommend Sorare to a friend with the current gameplay.

This week we have a Sorare Downunder exclusive! A very special interview with the latest LAFC signing OLIVIER GIROUD! Olivier dishes the dirt on his time playing for France, his plans for life in LA, his secret upbringing in Leeds and the unconventional training methods of the French squads. We also dive into Simon's week that could have been, after a forgotten team submission caused heartbreak for the world's unluckiest manager, aswell as the new divisions and our strategies for finding the sweet spot for our galleries. Oh and Alistair sets his lineups whilst really, really high.

A special episode this week as Simon makes the long trip north to sit on the velvet couch with Alistair for a long overdue episode of Sorare Downunder! Lots to discuss- we have a new structure (straight from uncle Barry), rivals is dead, there's dogs aplenty, Simon predicts the future and we generally just act silly on a couch.

It's been a rough few years for the Sorare community- it's times like these we need a little guidance. Back once again for a whole new set of rules to live by.We also discuss Simon's spluttery start to Champion Asia and what to do about it, we track down a Nashville terrorist and start to panic about the new structure going live on March 29th.

We've got hairdos! We've got bloopers! We've got Japanese lesson! Simon is back and ready to be hurt again, the segments are back in full force, and we discuss the possible ramifications of new season FOMO.

It's our 50th episode! What better way to celebrate than a win on Sorare. We create the definitive ranking for all new MLS jerseys, Simon cuts Ali off on a rant, and we have a nice little trip down memory lane montage from our early beginnings to the fully formed powerhouse you see today.

Simon has the fire in the belly. Ali finally comes good on a lunch wheel promise. To prem or not to prem? Is winning K-League cards worth it? It's all happening on SorareDownunder!

Well, it's here! The biggest Sorare update of our generation. How does the new structure affect someone 'new' like Simon? What do we like? What do we hate? And most important of all, is Sorare saved?

Moon or Doon is back! In this episode, Ali finds his inner zen, Sorare send a surprise package, Simon has some interesting new ideas for loot boxes, and we react to the new big news that drops immediately after this goes live!

Why is Simon in a car? Why are people so addicted to rivals? Who would play Ali & Simon in a movie about their Sorare careers? So many questions! So little time!Lunch Wheel is back, we check in on Hugo Lloris to make sure he's ok, and we discuss how Sorare Rivals can take us all back to the moon with the new 'loot boxes'.

This week, we aren't gonna be like every other bloody pod and go on and on and on about thresholds (Are you sure about that?) Simon can't be distracted right now. He's about to go back in deep on some rare cards so we thought we'd revisit some golden nuggets of wisdom when selecting players and unveiling your strategy for hitting threshold and beyond, keeping the fickle nature of Sorare firmly in the back of our minds. Plan for future success baby!

We are BACK baby! We thought Simon might be done and dusted but the fever struck and he's back in the studio hangover and all to bring tidings of great joy for 2024! We've got a lot to cover- Sorare's big wins of 2023, where they went wrong, what to do with Sorare NBA, Simon's plans for 2024, our hopes for a crypto bull market and DNP rewards.

This week marks a big moment in Sorare history. Well, kind of. Some new stuff has happened and we wanna talk about it!Will the new competitions bring Sorare to it's knees? Will Alistair become embroiled in a long standing Twitter war with strangers on the internet? Will RIVALS save the day? And will we finally get to see..The LUNCH WHEEL?Watch on!

This week, after a particularly brutal weekend for one of us. We decided to get scientific and look deep into the microscope, at the very fundamental fabric of our great game.What are the boundaries of our understanding, out of our control, the laws that govern Sorare so that we may be at peace with the unstoppable force that is Sorare shithousery week to week. By understanding, only then can you conquer.
