Episode 51 of The Football Misfits breaks down the latest happenings in the sport! Join Ronny, Spencer, and LV as they discuss the men's and women's football competitions at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The good brothers share their appreciation for Brazil's Marta and Zambia's Barbra Banda while everyone is riding with Ronny and Honduras, his motherland, in the men's tournament. Speaking of the men, they look at how open their competition is as 15 of the 16 teams are vying for eight quarterfinal places. The Concacaf Gold Cup continues stateside and the first team looks at the eventful quarterfinals that took place over the weekend. They also share some quick bits of club news before handing out BS of the Week to an Olympic fencer, South American footy, and a coach who had little regard for his team's life.
We appreciate everyone's listenership and interactions on Instagram (@footymisfits).
