In conversation with John Pranjic, host of the 3four3 podcast.

John’s the third interview that’s come out of the college soccer/MLS vs USL doubleheader in mid-February here in Santa Barbara (by the way, the other two aren’t bad either- Tomas Hilliard-Arce and Chris Pontius of the LA Galaxy, go back and listen to them). He’s someone who I first reached out to because I admired how keeps it real about American soccer over on the 3four3 podcast, but this conversation, though admittedly very loosely structured, is already one of my favorites because it’s about that and so much more- life, podcasting, beer, and how to be close to somebody and still butcher their name every time you see them.

A special thanks again to John for chatting with me and giving me some podcasting advice that night and now coming into the studio for this episode on his way down to LAX.

Oh, and one final note- yes, there's an explicit tag. What did you expect from us?

You can find John @ThatCroatianGuy on Twitter and at 343coaching.com/podcast.

In which we recap the season that was in the English top flight and look ahead to some of the trophy tilts to close out the domestic season. Also: MLS rants galore.
