Episode 75 - S04:VfB ... 2:1 and Good Cop, Bad Cop, Worse Cop!
Intro's and Part One include shout outs to ESPN+, mocking wives, and former VfBer Sean Dundee.
Part Two is a brief breakdown of the match in which our initial optimism turned into a giant shoulder shrug of "what just happened?" Starting lineups, sub patterns, enigmas that are players like Enzo, and quotes from not one but two Fabian's highlight this thankfully brief segment.
The Good Cop, Bad Cop segment - with the addition of a new cop ... Worse Cop! - takes so long that it eats up Part Three and Part Four of this episode! WOW! The guys let their frustration go full throttle and cover the entire team, from the attack to the CEO, from Silas to Coulibaly, from the defense to Vogt, and, well, pretty much everyone and everywhere in-between. Along the way, the guys give some hot takes, including a fiery "Manuel Neuer couldn't start for VfB right now" statement. WOW!
Part Five wraps up this most depressing episode with predictions for the upcoming home match versus that little club from ... Munich.
Oy vey.
That being said, the guys end the episode on a positive vibe despite all the negativity and celebrate how lousy everyone around us is.
Yay schadenfreude!
