We are wrapping up the Finals of Copa Europa and Copa America.
England v Italy gave us a good Sunday game but far from the expectations. England's lack creativity found themselves up 1-0 in the 2nd minute, but as Italy settle into the game the game quickly move one-way and Italy was in full control of game.
Argentina v Brazil gave us a bad Saturday game but exactly what we expected from these two countries. Brazil was looking to control the game but Argentina was closing all the channels and shutting down all transitions, while Argentina was sloppy in the final third; and with a brilliant pass from De Paul, or terrible mistake by Lodi, Di Maria score the only goal of the game.
In the end the Football/Soccer Gods gave Messi his first senior trophy with Argentina, does this cement his 7th Ballon D'Or?
Finally we come back to North America to where we have now seen all the teams play at least 1 game. Diving into the big teams, poor planning, and surprises for this Gold Cup.

To end the episode we talk about the Mexico fans homophobic chant and the mess that it is, and the issues it will cost the Mexico Federation. 
Listen to the thoughts of both of us on this matter, but ultimately this NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY, and consequences need to be set to anyone doing this to set a precedent.

As A Fan Podcast Season 2 Episode#05

We are the B3 Network and we are here to talk about Soccer/Football from a fan's view. The beautiful game is a great way to make new friends, drink so spirits or beer, and above all.. enjoy talking about it.

B3 Network makes the promise to our families that this is just a hobby, family is the most important thing in our lives and this Network and Podcast shows are just for fun, and a great excuse to drink Bourbon.

So we decided to start a podcast to share our view of the game. We will focus on talking about the leagues, transfer market, tournaments and all things soccer but with the fan's point of view. There are lots of other better shows out there that have better hosts, studios, editing, equipment, researchers, financial stability, headcount, etc., we found that to be on aware of what's going on on the top leagues we needed to listen to several podcast from multiple countries: so we decided to create this podcast that will talk about the beautiful game.

One of the great things about the beautiful game is that everyone has a different view of the game, and they are all valid. People may like to be defensive team, people may like possession, or counter attack, or play physical, or have short players, or only players from one country, or one region in a country, play in the mornings, during the day or evenings; but all agree that playing is the great joy. And what better way of talking about it than with great buddies and great bourbon.

The recurrent hosts are:
-     Jaime Nuñez who supports Pumas in Liga MX.
-     Daniel Zimmer who supports Arsenal in EPL.
