"Banned from the Bruce Arena Arena"
As Theo Messi endures Sirenpalooza 2017 outside his secret safehouse, we've got dirty tackles for Bruce Arena's excuses, surprisingly effective Alexis Sanchez songs, and Wayne Rooney doing Wayne Rooney things. Plus, Christian Pulisic makes a public plea for help, we do some life reffing on Dele Alli's middle finger, Sir Chips Keswick hating football, and the possibility of a drastic change to the international calendar. Finally, we close out with the very last TRANSFERMAGEDDON of the summer season with some chat on Renato Sanches and a special guest appearance from a very bitter Bob Bradley.
