Ryan, Graham and Joe wade into your takes to decide if we're taking them or leaving them! 1) Champions League qualifying and the Champions League itself should be played in the same season. 2) A 64 team World Cup would be better than a 48 team World Cup. 3) The first day of a major tournament should not just be the opening game. It should have more games, too. 4) End the practice of transfer fees all together. Only swap deals and free transfers. 5) Trinity Rodman will go down as the greatest USWNT player ever. 6) U.S. Soccer should not use the war chest on a top level manager like Poch. Instead, they should use it to build domes for all cold weather climate MLS stadiums and force the league to switch to the European calendar. JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!

On this week's Big Thing episode, we revisit an old friend: Jurgen Klinsmann. With his South Korea side now eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup, we look back on the team's performance at the tournament itself, how things have progressed (or not progressed) with Klinsmann in charge, and what's likely to happen next as the country's Golden Generation misses a chance for silverware.

How similar are the current complaints against Klinsmann to those when he was in charge of the USMNT? Oh, and also, who will win the Asian Cup final this weekend?

Was he correct in his assessment? What do we make of the claims of xenophobia that came from Man City in response? Are oil-rich clubs warping modern football?

On this week's episode of The Big Thing, Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to get to the bottom of a major talking point in Italian football: what's wrong with Juventus? After disappointing seasons under Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo, Max Allegri returned to take charge in the summer of 2021, and led the team to a resounding… 4th place finish. This season, Juventus is 8th in the table after 7 games, and they've managed zero points from their opening games of the Champions League. Manager Max Allegri remains in charge, but all is not right with The Old Lady. So, what’s gone wrong, what can be fixed, and what needs to change? Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by...

On today's show, in Part 1, Graham and Taylor take a look back at the final group stage games of Euro 2022, and discuss which teams were the most disappointing (Norway), which players we will be sad to see head home (a couple of the Norwegians), and what we learned ahead of the knockout round (Norway won't be in it).

England v Spain: best all-around team vs the most technical team? Who wins and who changes their game plan first? Germany v Austria: high press and physical vs high press and physical = Not an ideal draw for Austria, but can they spring another surprise? Sweden v Belgium: get excited! get excited? Plus, The Return of Blackstenius (our new movie title, if nothing else) France v Netherlands: how might both teams line up without their most important attacking player, and why the Dutch will need to be less open if they want to contain a potent French attack.
