Kick From The Spot

The World Cup Final was all about bad breaks in the first half for Croatia. John and Jay get to the bottom of the two controversial plays that put Croatia down when they were playing so well. How much should VAR (video assistant replay) be used in these important matches? FIFA handed out the golden hardware for the World Cup. There is a soft side to one of these awards. Attempts at comedy and mean spirited remarks rule the pod in the end. Don't give in to World Cup fatigue! Listen to the final Kick from the Spot podcast World Cup edition.

It's the Kick from the Spot podcast coming straight from the Smokin Js recording studio in Olympia, WA. The guys get together to review the World Cup Semifinals, discuss memorable moments from this amazing World Cup, and preview the finals matches. Jay's selfish and bitter side come out a bit. He seems to think the World Cup is all about his bracket and the Kick from the Spot bracket challenge. Croatia's guts and France's persistence have seen them through to the final. The guys break down the replay of the Belgium vs England group stage match between two teams pitted against winning. Will this consolation match be any different? So many moments of this World Cup to highlight. The guys recall their favorite moments and highlights of World Cup Russia 2018. No US Men's National Team players were injured during the recording of this podcast, nor in the World Cup.

John is back in the Smokin Js podcast studio with Jay to celebrate a fantastic World Cup 2018 Quarterfinal Round. The semifinals are set with France versus Belgium and Croatia versus England. How did they get there and what can you expect? Have you wondered what the announcers are talking about when they mention the goal keeper can't "come off the line" during kicks from the spot? We have a special training ground segment just for you. We may not have Ronaldo, Messi, and Chicharito, but the star power of Mbappe, Griezmann, Hazard, Kane, DeBruyne, and Modric will light up the semifinal round. Some are saying it's the best World Cup ever! Even without hyperbole, it's been pretty darn fantastic. Believe it or not, Neymar was not injured during the production of this podcast (although it seemed so). Thank you for finding us and listening.  We hope to build a solid soccer community together with you based on fun, respect, and love for the beautiful game....
