Happy Soccer Podcast Day! A solo-Beam breaking down today's World Cup results! Follow us on twitter @BoneBeamUnited
Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Groups E and F were quite the thing! Japan wins Group E with victories over Germany and Spain (why bother talking about that loss to Costa Rica?), but they didn't win without controversy! Bone and Beam talked about goal line technology, VAR and much much more on that storyline. And Spain survived the group basically on the strength of their opening win over Costa Rica, as goal differential allowed them to get the second spot in this group ahead of Germany, who looked for a few minutes like they might just lose to Costa Rica. Meanwhile, Belgium is distraught as they are eliminated, despite some brilliant chances for some of their stars. Morocco continues to impress, and they along with Croatia found their way through in Group F. And unfortunately for Canadian fans, their World Cup really never got going, as they lost all three of their games. Follow us on twitter @BoneBeamUnited
Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Groups C and D were officially decided on Wednesday, and we saw quite a bit of action. Bone went solo to break down Argentina, Poland, France, and Australia all advancing, and then took a look ahead to the Group E and F matchups for Thursday.
Happy Soccer Podcast Day! On today's show, the boys get to discuss the US Men's National Team's victory over Iran 1-0, securing their place in the knockout round of the World Cup. Christian Pulisic's epic goal, Yunus Musah and Tyler Adams bossing the midfield, Fulham players getting it done for the US yet again at the World Cup, and some drama surrounding one of the team's brightest stars are all in the conversation on this episode.
Plus, is it OK for US Soccer fans to question Gregg Berhalter now that he's guided the team to this next phase of the tournament? Finally, Bone and Beam break down the yellow card situation for the US, what this game meant to the Iranian players, and how difficult it will be for the US to knockout the Netherlands.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Bone and Beam are back to discuss an exhilarating day of soccer, Cameroon and Serbia ended in a 3-3 draw after multiple chances for both sides went wanting in the final 30 minutes; Ghana continued to impress while besting South Korea 3-2 in a game marred at the end by referee decision-making. Brazil outlasted Switzerland, getting a goal from Casemiro in the 83rd minute. And Portugal DOES talk about Bruno...Fernandez, as he scores two goals to get Portugal to the knockout round in their defeat of Uruguay.
The guys shifted gears into previewing what to expect from the US Men's National Team, as they take on Iran in a must-win situation for the USMNT. What will this game look like, and how will Iran and the US try to sort each other out?
All is discussed in this rapid fire episode. Follow us on twitter (@BoneBeamUnited) and look for a complete unpacking of the US game on Wednesday morning.
Happy Soccer Podcast Day! No one was able to "F--- Croatia" it turns out on this matchday, as Canada was undone by some veterans of the World Cup stage. Bone and Beam dove into that match, as well as some old guys who aren't getting it done right now in Belgium. Morocco is flying in this World Cup, and much of it was on display in Qatar on Sunday - and now Morocco needs only a point to move on to the knockout round. Meanwhile, Japan was shocked by Costa Rica, who aren't ready to bow out of the World Cup just yet. And in a game that before the tournament looked to be one of the best on paper, Spain and Germany fought to a surprising 1-1 draw, helping to give Germany life ahead of their third matchday. Check back each day of the group stage for a new recap podcast! And give us a like and follow if you're enjoying these episodes!
Bone and Beam reunited after some previous technical difficulties to give you their thoughts on Australia getting three points, Messi saving Argentina from a humiliating early exit, Poland surviving a match where Saudi Arabia seemed to have the better of the play, and France riding Kylian Mbappe's brilliance to the knockout round.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Bone and Beam meant to do a show together today, but due to technical difficulties on Bone's end...it's just Bone? Seems suspicious, maybe he's trying to cut Beam out of the picture?
Regardless, the guys who to be United on the next podcast. For now, Bone has thoughts on the US tying England - who had the better of the play? Is a draw a good result in this one? And what does the US have to do Tuesday to advance?
All of that and much more is in this one.

Today on the pod, Bone is solo, as Beam travels for Thanksgiving. Japan showed why they are dangerous, hanging around against Germany and withstanding just about everything Germany had to offer, before coming back with two late second half goals. Bone talks about that, and Spain having no trouble at all with Costa Rica. Then, Bone talked about Belgium's fight against Canada, and the Morocco - Croatia contest that seems to indicate either of those teams could pose a tough challenge to Belgium. Canada is certainly not dead either, which means Group F is shaping up to be quite fun. Finally, it was time to look ahead to the matchups on tap for Turkey Day as groups G and H get going.
On today's episode, the guys discussed Saudi Arabia's shocking, monumental, incredible, unreal upset of Argentina. From nearly going up 2-0 to losing 2-1, there are lots of questions to ask of La Albiceleste, but also much to celebrate with the way Saudi Arabia played.
Bone and Beam also talked about some of the great upsets in World Cup history, as well as recaps of Tunisia and Denmark as well as Mexico and Poland playing to goalless draws. There was also some talk about France throttling Australia, plus a look ahead to tomorrow's action.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day. If you haven't guessed it by now, the podcast today will mostly focus on the Columbus Crew firing Caleb Porter.
Gone after a season where the team missed the playoffs for a second straight year, Porter leaves behind a talented roster with some obvious holes.
Bone and Beam spent a good amount of time trying to give realistic assessments of where the team stands, what they should be looking for in their next head coach, and what level of accountability should fall to the players for this moment?
As always, we'd love to hear from you - @bonebeamunited on twitter.

We'll be back next week with a regular episode!
This week, the boys talked about the UEFA Champions League Final, which saw Real Madrid defeat Liverpool to claim yet another European crown. But just as big of a story was how Liverpool supporters were treated outside of the stadium on the way to the match. How did UEFA screw this up so royally?
Then, the guys switched to talking about the Columbus Crew's 2-1 win over Atlanta on the road, and what that means heading into the international break.
Other topics of discussion included Brenden Aaronson on his way to Leeds (and why Leeds is guaranteed to get relegated this season) as well as Robert Lewandowski deciding to move on from Bayern Munich. Plus much more.
Interact with the guys on twitter, and give us a follow as well!
PLEASE NOTE - This podcast was recorded on Wednesday before the USMNT game was played, so none of that was discussed. Timing is everything with podcasting, that's what they teach you in podcasting school.

On this week's show, Bone and Beam begin talking about the report that Lionel Messi will be acquiring 35% of Inter Miami, that he'll join the team next summer, and what it would mean to have him playing here in the U.S. (1:49).
They then dive into the 2022 MLS player salaries and what could be holding MLS back from continuing to grow as a league (14:17) and give credit to the Crew for being one of the top spending teams in MLS, while also explaining where they need to go next to improve the team (20:29).

This week, Bone and Beam look at the Crew's 3-0 win over DC United. What went right, what was different, and what of that performance is sustainable going forward? They also weighed in on the growing discord between the soccer media in Columbus and Crew fans. Bone offers his theories on why there appears to be a chasm between the two right now, while Beam added his thoughts on what the differences are between fans and the media. There was also a discussion about a team the Crew should imitate, and a team that is imitating the Crew. Switching gears, the discussion after the break went heavy on Champions League. Villareal thought they were going to get a miracle run to the final, until Liverpool shattered their dream. And speaking of shattered, City fans are left trying to figure out what went wrong, after having Real Madrid buried on their way to Paris (insert Undertaker wearing a Rodrygo jersey gif here). For more soccer takes, discussions, and random gifs, follow the boys on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
This week on the podcast, the guys tried to figure out what's going on with one of the biggest agents in world soccer. Plus, the Champions League once again gave us all a game to remember. (9:30) What can we expect next from Manchester City and Real Madrid? Liverpool seems to be in a great situation after their 2-0 trouncing of Villareal. Then, the guys switch to the Columbus Crew (38:25). Gyasi Zardes is traded for GAM, no one can score any goals, and the outlook is bleak. What is on the horizon for the Crew as they need a goal scorer in the worst way? As always, you can follow the guys on twitter @bonebeamunited and let us know what you think of the show, Champion's League, Columbus Crew forward options, and/or what beer you're drinking this weekend.
This week, our two idiots who know nothing about soccer decided to break down what might possibly be wrong with the Crew. But then again, what do these two dopey Crew fans know about it anyway?
Problems Often Resolve Themselves Eventually, Really.
Wow, that was an odd sentence, huh? Seems pretty straightforward though, probably shouldn’t read much into it…
Anyhoozle, the guys also discussed Beam’s favorite subject – Manchester United’s abject failure of a season this year. But also, they have a new coach. Must be nice.
Interact with the boys on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
This week, Bone and Beam got after it with a long Champion's League Quarterfinals discussion. The boys started off talking about the rollercoaster that was the Real Madrid - Chelsea clash, which saw Chelsea bounced. Christian Pulisic did not have his best match. Luka Modric, however, had a moment for all-time. Bone spends FAR too long talking about how great the ageless Madrid midfielder was in this game in a huge moment, and where he ranks among the all-time greats.
The discussion switches to Bayern Munich's collapse against Villareal, then the drama from Manchester City's tilt with Atletico Madrid. The boys talk a bit about Liverpool, the next round, and who they are rooting for to make it to the Finals as well.
Also sprinkled in: Some brief neck tattoo discussion, Elon Musk seems like a super villain, and both guys try (and fail) to figure out the playoff situation in the lower leagues of English soccer.
As always, tweet the podcast if you've got questions, concerns, or a good place to get a neck tattoo - @bonbeamunited on twitter.
This week on the show, Bone and Beam discuss the United States Men's National Team, their qualification for the World Cup, and the group they drew into (Group B - Hello England!).

They then switched gears to the topic of the Columbus Crew - and how the Black and Gold disappointed on a special night for Federico Higuain. Plus much more soccer discussion as well. Interact with the show - @bonebeamunited on twitter.
This week on the podcast, T-Bone and Brandon Beam discuss the US Men's National Team performance against Panama, and why it's OK to be confident of this team officially qualifying for the World Cup. What approach should Gregg Berhalter take with the USMNT heading into their final game of the Ocho in Costa Rica? Then, they discussed what should be done about Senegal fans shining laser pointers at Mo Salah and other Egypt players in their Cup qualifier. Finally, the discussion switched gears to talking about a Columbus Crew legend, Federico Higuain, who will be honored with a retirement ceremony this weekend at Lower.com Field. Thanks gain to Zaftig Italian Village for sponsoring this podcast! You can also interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
This week, Bone and Beam discuss the USMNT 0-0 draw against Mexico at Estadio Azteca. Why does the draw, which is normally a good result for US Soccer teams in Mexico City, feel more like a loss? And what are the US's chances to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Quatar? Bone is more optimistic than Beam. Plus, for the second straight World Cup cycle, Italy is out before the tournament even starts. YIKES! Congrats to North Macedonia. The guys unpack what happened to Italy and where they go from here. Listen, rate, and review the podcast on your favorite podcast app, and interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
This week on the Crew-centered podcast, Bone and Beam talk about the Black and Gold's collapse vs San Jose, and their more recent win over Toronto. Much was made about booing Michael Bradley, so the guys brought on Massive Report's Pat Murphy to discuss that idea further. Plus, talk of what to do with Gyasi and Berry up top, the rise of Derrick Etienne, and Lucas Zelarayan's continued brilliance. Plus much more. As always, interact with the show @BoneBeamUnited on twitter.
This week, Bone and Beam discuss all things world soccer, including Chelsea being for sale. Who could purchase them? How did we get here? And will Abramovich actually relinquish control? Plus - Manchester United get smoked in the Manchester Derby...are they cooked as far as Champions League qualification next season? Tottenham and Everton are on two completely different paths at the moment. Also, a look at the horrible situation in Mexico, and why fan violence is often misrepresented. And finally, yes, the guys had to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo's statue. Interact with us! @BoneBeamUnited on twitter. Brought to you weekly by Zaftig Italian Village in Columbus.
This week, the guys talk about the Crew's ridiculous lid-lifting win over Vancouver one more time before moving on to a discussion about the Black and Gold's most fierce geographic rival, the San Jose Earthquakes. There was also some discussion about parasites, wooden spoons, a Mexican legend coming to MLS, and much more. All of it brought to you by Zaftig Italian Village, the official soccer bar of Bone and Beam United. Interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited

This week, Bone and Beam talk about the follies of FC Cincinnati (aka Kentucky FC). Their new GM Chris Albright actually says the part about the Fussball Club being awful out loud - Good times! And which team is looking like the next FC Cincinnati in MLS? Also, there was this little business of the Champions League - Liverpool, Manchester City and PSG all get wins, while Salzburg and Bayern draw. The guys discuss those matches, plus the possibility of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland playing together next year... Interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited. And a big thanks to Zaftig Italian Village, the Official Soccer Bar of Bone and Beam United.
This week on Bone and Beam United, the boys talk about Manchester United's options for a new manager, and about West Ham's indefensible decision to play defender Kurt Zouma hours after video emerged of him kicking his cat. Then, the guys talked with Derrick Smith, aka Brother Bone, who is a diehard Peterborough United supporter. He discussed the club, how he became a fan, and what their chances are against Manchester City, who The Posh will host on March 2nd in the FA Cup. The podcast is brought to you by Zaftig Italian Village, The Official Soccer Bar of Bone and Beam United.

In this bonus episode, Bone and Beam share their thoughts on the 2-0 drubbing by Team Canada over the USA. Is Gregg Berhalter in over his head? Why does the US look so slow with the ball?

This week on the podcast, Bone and Beam spend a solid 30 minutes previewing a game that will be played about 10 hours after they recorded the episode. Good times.

Reach out to the guys - @bonebeamunited
This week on the podcast, we talk about Tottenham's ridiculous comeback victory against Leicester, ticket prices for the 2022 World Cup matches in Qatar, and just how cold will it be a the LDC for the USMNT game next week. Plus, the Crew appear to be signing Milos Degenek, Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be a giant man baby, and an Arsenal player appears to have bet on himself (and not in a good way). As always, interact with us - @bonebeamunited on twitter!
This week on the pod, Bone and Beam talked about the call-up of Trinity Rodman to the USWNT and how awesome she is. There was also a situation in the African Cup of Nations involving a referee who, at best, was in way over his head. And the powers that be have been getting richer and richer. And in the process, it seems they've forgotten about the fans. All of that and much more about Newcastle, the MLS Super Draft, and soccer movies.
This week on the show, Bone and Beam returned from their winter break for some discussion about the Premier League, Ricardo Pepi, Romelu Lukaku, a weird coaching hire involving a former USMNT player, and our favorite team, Lille. Feedback? Hit us up on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited

The boys also chatted about the Champions League draw (and redraw), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's demotion at Arsenal, Sergio Aguerro's retirement, and much more. And by much more, we mean a very odd discussion about truck driver energy pills. As ever, reach out the show by tweeting us - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, the guys discuss the Champion's League, including Bayern and Liverpool's domination, Lyle (or Lille) making his way onto the next round, and the handsomeness and availability of Jesse Marsch.

This week, Bone takes a victory lap around Beam after Watford slams the door on Manchester United with a 4-1 defeat. In turn, Beam thanks Bone for Watford getting Ole at the door - who's next as manager for Man U? The boys discuss that, as well as which world soccer team is the correct comparison for UM Football?

It's all come down to this - one game left for the Crew's slim playoff hopes. Bone and Beam break down what it's going to take for the Crew to make it into the MLS playoffs, what it means if they don't, and how dangerous this team could be if they pull of the (nearly impossible) feat of math and get in. Then, the guys discussed the scenarios for EVERY FREAKING TEAM left in the Champion's League, and what they need to do to get into the round of 16. If you listen to the first 25 minutes of this episode whilst sipping warm tea, your brain will become a puddle, and you will fall asleep for a minimum of 16 hours. It's just science. Finally, the Tottenham coaching situation has been resolved. Nuno out, Conte in. Why that makes a whole ton of sense for a team like Spurs.

Also, it wouldn't be the Crew without Caleb Porter blaming his players for something. Then, the boys discuss the Crew jersey fiasco, US Soccer charging ridiculous prices for soccer tickets, and the latest with the Champion's League. Listen for one of our hosts (Bone, it was Bone) screwing up the name of one of the biggest soccer teams in the world.

This week, the guys return to break down week one of the Premier League season. Pogba and Bruno have Manchester United and Beamer buzzing, while Bone is excited about his newly adopted team, Watford.

They also discussed Brother Bone meeting famous people, a neighbor Eric update, and a decently long discussion of the Columbus Crew, who are awful right now. Interact with Bone and Beam on twitter - @bonebeamunited
The Premier League is back, and Bone and Beam are excited to break it all down. Can anyone break into the group of Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United? Will Chelsea win the league, or does Man City have another title in their hands again? What will Leicester City, Tottenham or perhaps even Arsenal have to say about it? And Bone has picked his new Premier League team for the year, so you'll hear him chat about that for a few minutes. Also, the boys discover the Bees of Brentford, try to guess what it would cost to buy a low level English club, and talk about how Beamer's dad may be the most interesting man in the world. Interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week, Bone and Beam return to discuss the weird happenings between Lionel Messi and Barcelona. And let's just say there aren't many kind words to say about the Barcelona brass. Then the boys took a look at the Harry Kane Situation, what's next for the USWNT after their Olympic Bronze Medal, and why the Columbus Crew can't seem to stop anyone defensively.

Interact with the guys on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, Bone and Beam disagree on who will win Euro 2020 in 2021 which is totally not confusing on any level. They also break down both of the semi-final matchups in the Euros, discuss the penalty drawn by Raheem Sterling, and marvel at both England and Italy's ability to weather the storm and find a way. Then, it's a Lower Dot Com Field review of the opener, as Bone tells Beam about the wonders of walking to a soccer game and having a roof over your head. There was also some (concerned) discussion about the Hell is Real game with Kentucky FC this Friday. Is Kei Kamara the answer for the Crew at forward? (spoiler alert: no, but also yes) Interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week on the podcast, Bone and Beam discuss the Euro knockout round, including some of the big questions we have moving forward: Where does France go from here?

All of that, plus the guys react to the Crew's first trip to Austin, the opening of Lower.com Field, and what to make of the jack hammer goal celebration. As always, interact with us on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
The Euros are still called Euro 2020, even though it's 2021. And that's silly. But also, is it? Either way, Bone and Beam are back to preview that, as well as recap some of their favorite moments from the tournament thus far. Later in the episode, the boys also talked about the Crew taking on Austin FC for the first time ever. Is it a rivalry? Is it a must-win? Is Matthew Mcconaughey going to keep his shirt on? Some of these questions are answered within the podcast. As always - hit up the show on twitter: @bonebeamunited
This week, Beam is out, so Sean Kelly joins Bone to talk about his upcoming film Save The Crew: The Battle for Columbus.

Interact with the guys - @bonebeamunited on twitter
This week, Bone and Beam talked about the good news that Historic Crew Stadium will be given the green light for full capacity seating for the final game against Chicago. The boys discussed the epic tailgate that will likely ensue as a result. Then they broke down what the calendar looks like this summer for international soccer - CONCACAF League of Nations, Euros 2020 in 2021, Copa America, Gold Cup, even the Olympics. It's going to be a lot of fun. As always, reach out to the guys and interact on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, Bone and Beam talked about the Europa Champions Villareal, and how that win made ManU fan Beamer feel. Where does Manchester United go from here? There was also plenty of discussion about the financial problems some European soccer giants are facing - and why it's time for those teams to own the consequences of their actions. Also, there was a preview of the Champion's League Final between Manchester City and Chelsea, and discussion of Lucas Zelarayan's stunning week for the Crew in MLS. As ever, reach out to the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited.
This week, Bone and Beam hit on the Crew name being saved, the final weekend of the Premier League season, where ol' Harry Kane might find himself playing next season, and the fact that there are no actual good guys leading world soccer. Interact with the boys on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, Bone and Beam talked about the Crew's tough game against Toronto, and one of the worst logos in pro sports history. What were they thinking? Later, Crew legend and MLS Cup champion Gino Padula joined Bone for a conversation about defending MLS Cup, the Argentine lineage of the Crew, the new rebrand, what the fans mean to him, and his soccer academy. Find out more about Sporting Padula Soccer Academy by going to spsocceracademy.com
This week, CONCACAF referees once again screwed the Crew in Champion's League. We'll talk about that, the let down at the end of the game, and what the Black and Gold need to do to advance in Monterrey next week without Lucas Zelarayan. Also, the English clubs left in UEFA Champion's League seem to be in a pretty good spot. Can Chelsea and Man City meet in the final? Or can PSG and Real Madrid spoil the English tea party? That and more is inside this episode! Interact with the guys on twitter @bonebeamunited
This week, Bone and Beam talked about the Super League - what it was, why it failed, and what the billionaire owners of these teams failed to understand about the sport of soccer. Interact with the guys on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week, Bone and Beam discussed the 2021 Crew season, complete with the latest after their first round win over Real Estelli. How will some of the injuries (including Aidan Morris) factor into this season for the Crew? What are the expectations? And who are the biggest threats to the Crew repeating as MLS Cup Champs? Later, the guys discussed PSG, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Chelsea - aka the four teams left in Champion's League. Interact with the guys on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, Bone and Beam discussed what it means to take part in the CONCACAF Champion's League, as the Columbus Crew are set to do this week. Usually, it ends in bad refereeing decisions costing better teams the game. Don't get CONCACAF'd is the motto we live by. Additionally, they discussed all the action from the first leg of the UEFA Champion's League Quarterfinal matches. PSG looks unbeatable, Chelsea picked up a nice win, and a horrible call went against Dortmund as Manchester City found a late winner. As always, hit us up on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week on the podcast, Gareth Bale Chose Violence, Alexandru Matan is scoring goals in Europe, and Germany sucks at this soccer thing, they should probably just quit. Oh...and the US Men failed to qualify for the Olympics. We'll tell you why it does and also does not matter. Good times.
This week, Bone and Beam talked about the new Crew schedule, how Austin might not be that bad, and spitting in each other's mouths. Among other things. @bonebeamunited on twitter if you have thoughts. Cheers.
This week, the Champion's League was cut down to 8 teams. J.D. and Brandon talked about Chelsea starting to figure it out, Bayern continuing to roll, and Real Madrid and the Citizens taking care of business.

Share your thoughts with the guys as well on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited
This week, Beamer was over the moon about his beloved Manchester United getting it done in the derby with City. Bone and Beam also chatted about the differences between Premier League Liverpool and Champion's League Liverpool, a UCL quarterfinal with no Mess or Ronaldo, and if you'd rather have Haaland or Mbappe' if you could have either on your team. Also, Christian Pulisic is being told by Thomas Tuchel that he thinks of him like a substitute, which isn't great - should the American be looking to move on? And finally, there was plenty of talk about the Columbus Crew's home opener with Philadelphia. Related: pointing and laughing at Austin FC, who will embark on a two month road trip to start the MLS Season. Good times. Hit up the guys on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited.
This week, Bone and Beam discuss the new Crew jersey, how the stars work over the logo, and why this will probably all be a moot point in a couple of years. There was also discussion about making deals with people you hate, and a history lesson about Crew rivalries, as Dom Tiberi's recent twitter poll brought that subject back into our lives. The guys also discussed things that are apparently illegal in Spain, and the Manchester United /Manchester City Derby this weekend. As ever, you can tweet the show @bonebeamunited
This week, the guys recapped all of the Champion's League action, from Bayern's continued impressive dominance, to Real Madrid's struggle to beat a 10 man Atalanta. Chelsea won off of a stunning goal from Olivier Giroud - perhaps more impressive though is Thomas Tuchel's ability to get his team back into a Champion's League spot for next year. There was also Premier League talk, a possible rekindling of the Tyne-Wear Derby next year, and plenty more. Interact with us on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week, Bone and Beam talk Champion's League action, including Paris Saint-Germain's domination of Barcelona. Dortmund also cruised to a victory, while Juventus struggled.

Interact with us on twitter - @bonebeamunited
This week, Pat Murphy from Massive Report and Bucknuts joins Bone and Beam. A longtime Manchester United fan, he and Beam talked about their shared fandom, how they became fans, and travels abroad. The guys also broke down the current standings in the Premier League, chances anyone but Man City can win, Liverpool's tenuous hold on the fourth Champion's League spot, and what the hell has happened to Arsenal, among other topics. Additionally, there was discussion about the Crew's draw in CONCACAF Champion's League, the new MLS CBA, and FC Cincinnati making a splash signing. Interact with the guys at @BoneBeamUnited on twitter.
Lionel Messi makes a lot of money, and this is apparently shocking news to many. The guys talked about that, the looming CBA fight in MLS, and what is wrong with Liverpool among other things on this week's show. As always, interact with Bone and Beam on twitter, @bonebeamunited
This week, Bone and Beam discuss a wild Columbus Crew transfer rumor, the beginning of the Tooks era at Chelsea, and of course, the huge fight between Lukaku and Ibra in the Milan Darby. Other topics include MLS CBA drama, the toughest hombres to ever walk onto a pitch, and stonks rocketing to the moon.
This week, Bone and Beam try to wrap their heads around the resurgence of Paul Pogba and Manchester United. Also discussed was Matthew Hoppe (and the quest for a nickname for him) and his run of goals through the Bundesliga, Jordan Morris on the way to Swansea, and some issues with David Beckham and MLS. Also, T-Bone bores everyone with his love of sports cards and brags about his stupid collection.
Back and better than ever in 2021! Well, at least they're back... T-Bone and Brandon Beam had lots to discuss this week, including the resurgence of Beam's Manchester United. The huge game this week featuring Man U and Liverpool is going to be on NBC's Peacock, which brought up a discussion of streaming sports, dark web secrets for illegally streaming, and giant satellite dishes. They also discussed Chelsea's issues, the Columbus Crew making some big signings in the offseason, and, when the MLS season will start. Thanks for listening - interact with the show at @BoneBeamUnited on twitter.
What a moment for the city of Columbus, and for Crew fans everywhere. MLS Cup 2020 happened, and to recap, it went fairly well for the Black and Gold. Hear what Bone and Beam had to say about the Crew winning MLS Cup, relive some of your favorite moments, and dream with them about where the team can go from here. From Save The Crew to Can't Stop The Crew, this has been a tremendous ride. And if you haven't heard the radio call of the final whistle? You really need to listen to this episode. Glory to Columbus!!!
So, after all of that (don't make us rehash 2020, COVID, new team ownership, new coach, and that whole Save The Crew deal), the Columbus Crew find themselves in MLS Cup. Insanity. They get to face the Seattle Sounders, who are trying to build their own dynasty in MLS, in what could be a game for the ages. Bone and Beam talk extensively about that (35+ minutes!) and then move onto breaking down the finale of the Champion's League Group Stage. Which teams moved on to the knock out round, and just how many teams did Manchester United help prevent from doing so? Finally, Bone talked with 2008 MLS Cup winner and Crew legend Alejandro Moreno, who now breaks down the beautiful game on ESPN.

There's also plenty of talk about the Champion's League, Manchester United's surprisingly good form in that competition, and how some USMNT players are making history in said competition. Also, some turkey and Thanksgiving conversations occurred, and some shade was thrown at the Chicago Fire. Interact with the guys at @BoneBeamUnited on twitter!
This week, the guys discuss the Columbus Crew's playoff chances, how they've performed coming in to the end of the season, and how TV broadcast rights absolutely suck sometimes.
Then they turned their attention to the USMNT, who are back in action after a massive layoff. They also discussed Premier League powers like Sheffield United and Fulham, Beamer unpacked his feelings about Manchester United, and both tried to make sense of Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi possible being on the move this summer.
In this episode, Bone and Beam discuss all the ways the Crew and Manchester United are frustrating at this point in their respective seasons. There's also some discussion about the rise of Everton, Covid making a comeback in the soccer world, and USMNT players who are making some noise.
After an unplanned summer hiatus, the boys are back, though Beam's audio is a little funky. Sorry about that. It's 2020.
The boys discussed the Crew's victory over Philadelphia, Messi's possible (likely?) departure from Barcelona, Bayern Munich winning the Champion's league, and grass. Grass? Yup, grass.
This week, a very dejected Beam and a not nearly as dejected Bone discussed Liverpool's inevitable championship, made official in part by Chelsea and Christian Pulisic defeating Manchester City. The boys also discussed the relegation battle in the Premier League, which is shaping up to be one of the best ever; the changes made to the Champion's League, including Turner ending their experiment of broadcasting UCL games; The MLS is Back tournament, and how the schedule doesn't make any sense, and a variety of odds and ends from the world of soccer.

Unlike many podcasters, Bone and Beam usually have access to a radio studio to record their podcasts. Now, they must live like the many podcast pioneers before them, roughing it by broadcasting from their basements and living rooms. The horror.
This week, the boys discussed a topic no one has ever done: Mount Rushmore. The four best, from their favorite teams. Beamer talks about his beloved Manchester United, while T-Bone discussed his best four from the Black and Gold of the Columbus Crew.
And US Soccer fans will enjoy the discussion at the end, featuring the Mount Rushmore of both the Men's and Women's U.S. National Team.

This week, Bone and Beam return (kind of). The boys are still at home, but found the time to talk about the impact of Covid-19 on the world of soccer. There was quite a bit of discussion about the impact on leagues around the world, as well as MLS, and how each of them have to handle it a little bit differently.
Also, T-Bone forgot to talk at the beginning, and at some point in the middle he got disconnected. But, through the magic of editing, hopefully you won't know when. It's a weird time, friends. Be safe, and enjoy this show.
Suggestions on what we should talk about next week? Tweet us @BoneBeamUnited with your suggestions.
