NOTE: Our podcast is recorded on Sunday. Therefore, the news of Russia's expulsion by FIFA and UEFA was not known at the time.
Episode 83 of The Football Misfits is headlined by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the implications it has on football; from Russia's status in the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, Spartak Moscow's involvement in the Europa League, and the shows of support for the Ukrainian people. On the field, the good brothers come to the realization that the Europa League knockout rounds have been more heart-pounding than the set of Champions League Round of 16. Marcelo Bielsa was given the sack by Leeds United and the good brothers have their say on his departure and the arrival of former RB Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch. Juventus are sneaking their way into the Serie A title race and the Carabao Cup Final between Chelsea and Liverpool was QUITE the match. Lastly, BS of the Week is handed to clubs in UEFA's second- and third-tier competitions.
