Features
Game of the Week
The show picks several games each week and analyzes them, and also reports on any and all big soccer news. In addition, the show currently hosts the largest scouting database of the United States Soccer Federation. It is rumored that the USSF regularly listens in to the podcast for their scouting reports in lieu of doing any work of their own. Other national soccer federations have also been known to listen to their informative, in-depth World Cup group previews as a way of preparing for upcoming World Cup group stages. Daryl and Taylor have also been credited with the landmark finding: "things can in fact be two things, and not necessarily one thing."
