Matt and Clayton call up Michael of the “Wise Men Say” podcast in Sunderland, England to talk about the other SAFC, Sunderland AFC. We talk about the Netflix series “Sunderland Til I Die” and second division soccer on both sides of the pond.
We discuss topics like:
- Was the Netflix series a fair or accurate depiction of the club, city, and fans?
- How does Michael feel about the American players who have played at Sunderland?
- Who would win an SAFC Derby Match?
- Compare the two teams, leagues, and fans.
- Michael’s surprising love of MLS soccer.
- How should soccer in England resume play?
Thanks to Michael for his time. Check out the Netflix special and the Wise Men Say podcast which has episode by episode recaps comparing the doc to reality on the ground.
Dreaming of meeting up for a pre-game pint in Sunderland once this all passes!
