Author: Alexis Guerreros & Christian Polanco May 22, 2026 Duration: 1:19:38
The Cooligans react to Arsenal finally ending their 22-year wait for a Premier League title and debate whether Mikel Arteta’s side can now shake the “bottlers” label for good and build the next great football dynasty. NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani joins the celebration with his reaction to Arsenal’s title win and discusses his initiative to make World Cup tickets more affordable for New Yorkers. Then former USMNT midfielder and Fox Sports analyst Stu Holden joins the show to break down the pressure facing the United States ahead of the World Cup, why this tournament could permanently change soccer in America, and his advice for Christian Pulisic. Plus, the guys reveal their six World Cup dark horses — including why the USMNT could surprise the world this summer.

Think of the most passionate, opinionated, and funny conversation you might overhear at a soccer bar, then bottle that energy. That’s essentially what you get with The Cooligans. This isn't your typical sports analysis show buried in tactical diagrams and spreadsheets. Instead, hosts Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco-both working stand-up comics from New York-apply their comedic lens to the global game. They’re here for the drama, the bizarre headlines, and the pure, unadulterated chaos that makes football so compelling. Each episode feels like hanging out with two of your most knowledgeable yet hilarious friends, dissecting the weekend's most outrageous moments with sharp wit and relentless jokes. The focus is firmly on entertainment, offering a refreshing and laugh-out-loud alternative to more serious commentary. Tuning into this podcast means setting aside the dry recap for a celebration of the sport's inherent silliness and spectacle. Released twice weekly, it’s your regular dose of humor to counterbalance the on-field tension, proving that the beautiful game is even better when you’re not afraid to laugh at it.
