Listen "Episode 79 - FCA:VfB ... 1:1 and glass half full or half empty?"
Episode Synopsis
So ... was the result at Augsburg a moment of half full or half empty? Or is the glass, as Matt says, configured incorrectly?!
Part One of episode 79 starts off with some shout outs to Wrexham of all teams as well as the VfB Frauen for getting their first win and currently standing 2nd on the Oberliga table!
Part Two is a breakdown of the match on the road at "tactical" FC Augsburg, a result that seemed pretty half empty on Friday ... but by Sunday evening looked a bit more half full! The guys chat deja vu, early subs, and of course LegENDO.
Part Three is a relative deep-dive into some internal club politics as the guys try to decipher, digest, and describe what's happening inside Mercedes-Benz with a ton of help both Riky Palm's recent tweet as well as their German-English dictionary! Along the way they discuss Hoeneß, Wehrle, and Vogt and cover any and all mistakes they may make with their common excuse of "but we don't really know anything." How's that for insightful commentary!
Speaking of insight, Part Four delivers a ton of it as OFC Liaison Ted joins the program to give some insight on not just the upcoming home match versus 'Gladbach but his trip there as well! Ted breaks down why he's going, where he's going, and why a seemingly incongruous place called "Palm Beach" is actually the most "VfB" place to go when visiting for a match!
Here's hoping your glass is still half full if you're going to give this a listen!
