Ekitike Signing Of The Summer? Salah Returns & PL Title Race | It’s Called Soccer EP 66
It’s another episode of It’s Called Soccer 🎉
We start with the Mo Salah situation, as Theo compares it to Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal exit and explains why Slot handled Salah perfectly.
Then it’s onto Ekitike, who’s been delivering for Liverpool. Is he their best signing of the summer? Theo breaks down Ekitike’s mindset and character — even saying “he reminds me of Henry”
Over to Arsenal v Wolves, where the conversation turns to just how strong the Premier League really is. No easy games and are Arsenal starting to get the luck of champions.
But Manchester City loom large. Theo and Taylor both explain why City are a huge problem for Arsenal — they’ve been here before, they know how to win, and that experience could be decisive.
We then praise Unai Emery and the incredible impact he’s had at Aston Villa.
At Celtic, the pressure is already mounting. Nancy’s start to life there, whether he was set up to fail, and if time is already running out.

Mo Salah’s OUTBURST & Will He Play For Liverpool Again? | It’s Called Soccer EP 65
It’s another episode of It’s Called Soccer, and this week we’re diving straight into the biggest story in world football: Mo Salah’s explosive post-match interview 🎙️🔥
We open with instant reactions to Salah’s comments — a moment that stunned Liverpool fans and sparked headlines everywhere.
The conversation digs deeper into the fallout, including the part where Taylor says Slot can’t play Salah again.
We then shift to Arne Slot’s perspective — his first major crisis as Liverpool manager. How does he navigate a dressing room split between players who are fully bought in and a superstar who suddenly seems disconnected?
From there, we examine Jamie Carragher’s reaction.
Then it’s decision time:
Yes or no — will Salah play for Liverpool again? And has this moment changed his legacy?
The second half of the episode brings a complete tonal shift as we celebrate Lionel Messi’s latest trophy with Inter Miami 🏆💗
Taylor shares why he’ll be telling his grandkids the story of Messi in MLS — from David Beckham’s early days as an ambitious owner to Inter Miami’s transformation into a global super club.

KSI: Sidemen vs Overlap Match? Fighting Jake Paul & FPL Forfeit | It’s Called Soccer EP 64
It’s a special episode of It’s Called Soccer — because KSI joins the show 🎉
We kick things off with Gary Neville calling out the Sidemen, before diving into JJ’s many personas: boxer, YouTuber, musician… and somehow all different people in one.
Theo also gets answers he’s been waiting years for:
👉 Did JJ ever boo him?
👉 And what’s JJ’s favourite Theo goal?
Could Theo Walcott end up playing in the Ballers League?
Then it’s all things Arsenal, as KSI declares his love for the club — and predicts Arsenal will win the league.
We relive JJ at the North London Derby. Naturally, that leads to KSI revealing how seriously he’s taking FPL this season. He even says which Arsenal player he’d bring back and reveals a brutal forfeit.
Then it’s boxing chat. Is Jake Paul vs KSI actually happening? JJ shares the message he sent AJ — and why he’d never fight Anthony Joshua.

We kick things off with Chelsea v Arsenal, where the big question looms: are Chelsea actually title contenders? Theo praises the atmosphere, explains why Chelsea are becoming a real problem for Arsenal, and Taylor breaks down how Chelsea could win the league by staying aggressive — including a great discussion around the red card.
Over to Spurs, where the debate heats up. The booing — who was right, who was wrong, and should Frank have handled it differently? The guys ask the tough question: Is the Spurs job simply too big for Frank? Theo even drops a wild insight about modern players being on their phones during halftime.
Across the pond, it’s Inter Miami:
• Thomas Müller’s surprising record against Messi
• And should Luis Suárez come back into the starting lineup?
We wrap with Player of the Week selections from both Theo and Taylor, before tackling the Question of the Week:

Christen Press: Life After Soccer, My Legacy & Future Of The Women’s Game | It’s Called Soccer EP 62
It’s Episode 62 of It’s Called Soccer, and this week we’re joined by USWNT legend Christen Press 🇺🇸🎙️
The conversation goes deep right away, as Christen opens up about life after football — how she’s adjusting to retirement, what she misses most, and why stepping away from the game has been both grounding and unexpectedly challenging.
Christen reflects on her long battle with injury, sharing the honest story of her ACL journey and the difficult reality of feeling like she “never quite got back.” She walks us through the moment she knew it was time to retire.
We also dive into legacy: what Christen hopes she’ll be remembered for, the period in her career where she grew the most, and the uphill climb of trying to break into the USWNT setup in her early years.
Then the conversation widens to the women’s game — how quickly it’s evolving, the structural change still needed, and whether the management side of football could one day tempt her back into the sport.
Christen also revisits her international career with the USWNT, picking the one match she’d relive if she had the chance. And Theo shares how his own retirement has flown by, comparing their experiences in stepping away from elite sport.
We wrap with a thoughtful look at identity beyond the pitch, ambition in the game’s future, and what comes next for one of the most influential American players of her generation.
