Mad About Futbol Show- From Miami To Barcelona

On this edition of the Mad About Futbol Show, the guys were joined by Uncle Ed of the Miami Ultras as well as from the Miami Chapter of the American Outlaws to talk about the prospect of Miami in MLS. We also scheduled Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald but he refused to come on the show to talk about his article on South Beach and David Beckham. We just had to let you know after not replying to our multiple emails despite promising.

Ed spoke about the latest goings on in this never-ending saga to bring an MLS team back to South Florida as well as a chance to help convince Juan and George about the prospects a little more.  Ed and the boys also talk about possible stadium sites within the market as well as changes that need to be made (and have been made) on the marketing front.  Truly a topic that is a hot button in the Miami sports market that leaves no stone unturned.

We were also joined by SB Nation columnist Xoel Cárdenas to talk about the biggest news of the day- the hiring of Gerardo Martino as coach of FC Barcelona. Xoel expressed his initial skepticism about the hiring of the former Paraguayan national team and Newell’s Old Boys coach as well as what “Tata” will offer his new team.

Xoel also points out that this squad will have some major issues to deal with, especially on defense this coming season. Surely lots of interesting topics that are dealt with by Xoel in this episode. Weaknesses, strengths, worries as well as other topics that could be bothering fans of the Blaugrana for the upcoming campaign.  

That plus George’s preview of next year’s Miss Bum Bum contest all on the Mad About Futbol Show.
