Episode 80 - VfB:BMG ... 2:1 and the OFC in the house!

VfB Stuttgart Americana

In this episode Travis, Matt, and Hannes try to celebrate - and figure out - what the heck is going on with their beloved VfB!

Travis and Matt start off Part One with shout outs to the fantastic* coverage of ESPN, OFC Liaison Ted enjoying what had to just be the perfect trip, and then take way more credit than is possible for the OFC impacting the positive results of the club!

Part Two is a break down of another big result, a deserved win at home versus the Foals of 'Gladbach. Along the way, the fellas chat Sehrou taking on xG, Tiago taking on VAR, Dan-Axel taking on mistakes, Hoeneß taking on subs, and the subs taking VfB to a delirious victory!

Trying to understand the big news of the weekend - officiating and VAR - and the big news in the world of VfB - Wehrle and another odd interview - the guys get some Help with Hannes in Part Four's News, Headlines, and Questions to try and make all the news of the week make sense (and Hannes' daughter even makes a guest appearance the first two minutes of the segment to add to our family value focus!). The guys then answer some great listener questions which include thoughts on if Tanguy should be extended and how many points are still available on the table. (Apologies for the editing in this part, but it wouldn't be a solid* Americana program without some technical difficulties!)

Part Five is a look to a potentially exciting future, the Pokal semi at home and the relegation six pointer at Berlin. Who is optimistic? Who is pessimistic? Who forgot who we were even playing?!

It's a longer than usual episode, but it's also, thanks to Young Hannes, a cuter than usual episode!
