    "No Way I'm Going to MLS" - What Changed Son’s Mind + Kane's "Not Gifted" & the Ajax Miracle

    Ocho finally sits down with his favorite player and COUSIN (at least according to the paperwork he brought) - Son Heung-Min. Sonny opens up about the call he almost ignored, “No way going to the MLS", and the years of LAFC persistence that changed his mind. He shares why the packed American stadiums still surprise him every single week. Then Son takes us back to leaving Korea for Germany at 16 years old, where he learned the language by watching SpongeBob, and the discipline that journey built in him.Son goes deep into the Spurs years: the best team he ever played on, the Amsterdam Miracle night Lucas Moura scored three goals, what the night before a Champions League final actually feels like, and Harry Kane's real secret - "it's not gifted." He remembers telling a 19-year-old Dele Alli he'd end up at Real Madrid or Barcelona, and how hard it was to watch his "little brother" go downhill. And when Ocho asks the GOAT question, Sonny gives the most honest answer the show has ever heard: his idol is Ronaldo… but Messi? "I can't disagree." Learn more about your ad choices.

    Christian Vieri: What R9 Was REALLY Like, the World-Record €49M Fee & Watching Cristiano at 41

    Christian "Bobo" Vieri - once the most expensive footballer on earth - pulls up to The Late Run and takes us inside the golden era of Serie A: training next to R9 and laughing out loud ("you can't stop him"), and the day he saw steel coming out of the Phenomenon's knee. He breaks down his world-record €49M transfer (about €335M in today's money), why all that money moved to the Premier League, and the four stadiums on earth where playing feels different - starting with 85,000 at San Siro: "that's where you sh*t your pants."Then it gets honest: winning the top-scorer crown while going out every single night, the 40-goal season he believes he threw away, the 2006 knee injury that cost him a World Cup - and the wife who tells him to "go to the hospital" when she catches him reliving goals he missed 25 years ago. Ocho gets striker advice for Sunday League ("the green pitch never lies"), compares his New England what-if to Vieri's, and asks the GOAT question one more time. For one beautiful second, he finally has an ally… and then Vieri takes it back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Sol Campbell: Inside the Invincibles, Why No Striker Ever Owned Him & Arsenal's CR7 Near-Miss

    Arsenal legend Sol Campbell pulls up to The Late Run and starts swinging: modern football is "too easy," the tough tackles are gone, and no striker on earth (not even prime R9) could ever say he had Sol's number. He takes us inside the Invincibles: training sessions that were "like matches," Pirès scoring 40-yarders with his instep, Henry and Bergkamp as a double act you had to out-think, and why that unbeaten record still stands 20+ years later.Then it gets personal: the REAL hate between Keane's United and Vieira's Arsenal, and the retired United players who still hold the grudge. He shares how deep club tribalism runs in England compared to America, the day Thierry Henry tried to recruit Sol to MLS, and how Ferguson beat Wenger to a young Cristiano Ronaldo. Plus, Ocho asks the GOAT question and gets his heart broken in real time. Then Sol breaks down what Tuchel got wrong in England's collapse, and he closes with the three times he made history for the culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Ocho & Katie Nolan are on a MISSION to Convert American Sports Casuals to Soccer

    Emmy-winning sports "talker" Katie Nolan pulls up to The Late Run and answers the GOAT question before Ocho can even finish asking it. She explains why she'll "defend soccer to the death," why being flippant about the world's most popular game is a huge negative to you as a person, and how meeting the US Women's National Team in 2015 turned her into a believer.Then it goes deeper: the $35-vs-$5,000 problem locking American kids out of soccer and the 50 million people who tuned into USA–Belgium confirming exactly why casual American fans don't watch. Plus, why it's unfair that Carli Lloyd catches more heat than every other legend when critiquing USMNT, and the infamous German fan who kissed Katie live on TV at the 2014 World Cup.
