On this episode of The Cooligans, MLS expert Matt Doyle joins us to break down the latest headlines around the league, including whether Julian Hall’s electric start with the New York Red Bulls is the real deal, if Inter Miami’s win over Orlando masks deeper roster issues, and whether San Jose and Timo Werner can sustain their early-season momentum. Then we’re joined by Bournemouth legend and assistant coach Steve Fletcher to discuss Tyler Adams’ underrated leadership, Andoni Iraola’s transformative impact on the club, and Fletcher’s remarkable 726-game journey with AFC Bournemouth.

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.
