    S2E144 World Cup Group Stage Recap, USA/Bosnia & Herzegovina Preview

    Thank you for tuning in! We look at a professional’s best 11 and more and compare it to Gabby Marcotti’s and decide who we like and don’t. Give us your thoughts in the comments. We both predict games across the next round with Kevin being (generally historically correct) more conservative, while I went hog wild with a few 4, 5, and 6 goal games.

    S2E142 World Cup: The 'Owen Goal' Tournament: USMNT Roll, Arsenal Keepers Shine, Zlatan Says You're Welcome

    A recording by Stateside Gooners about the USA Group D Round 2 win over Australia and the who, what, when, where, and whatever the ... about the last few days of football. The USA have won Group D without even needing Pulisic, the breakout star of World Cup 2026 is a man named Owen Goal, and somewhere in a parking lot outside the stadium, Alexi Lalas is contemplating his choices. We track every Gunner at the tournament, salute the smaller-nation keepers stealing the show, and savor Thierry Henry and Zlatan running Lalas clean off the Fox desk. The Arsenal are everywhere. COYG.

    S2E139 Champions League Final PSG 1-1* Arsenal (4-3)

    On this Stateside Gooners, Eric and Matt discuss the Champions League Final against PSG. Losing on penalties is a terrible way to lose the Champions League. Technically, Arsenal were undefeated in the 2025-26 Champions League but did not win the cup.  As always we’d love to hear your comments to the episode, fan origin stories, and questions you may have for us. You can leave your comments on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or through social media on Substack or Bluesky @StatesideGooners.

    S2E138 Arsenal are Champions!

    On this Stateside Gooners, Eric and Matt talk about Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, and his reaction to winning the Premier League. The guys talk about how special a manager Arsenal have and how he has been curious about improving the team’s weaknesses instead of doubling down on the team’s strengths.  We still can’t believe we’ve won the league.  There is no Champions League Final preview in this one. You’ll have to wait until Friday for that one. You will get to hear Matt attempt to say Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.  As always we’d love to hear your comments to the episode, fan origin stories, and questions you may have for us.
