Author: Alexis Guerreros & Christian Polanco February 10, 2026 Duration: 59:22
The boys dig into some of the most disappointing Designated Player signings in MLS history, from Rafa Márquez’s chaos years to the underwhelming impacts of Olivier Giroud, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Lorenzo Insigne. Then it’s off to the Premier League, reacting to Liverpool’s heated loss to Manchester City — was the red card fair, and what does City’s win mean for Arsenal as the title race tightens? Finally, the crew breaks down Mauricio Pochettino telling Timothy Weah to “keep quiet” about World Cup ticket prices and what that moment says about power, pressure, and transparency in the modern game.

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.
