Episode 107 - BOC:VfB ... 1:0 and BannerGate!

VfB Stuttgart Americana

Episode 107 has Matt and Travis break down a second straight disappointing loss in which they spend most of their time trying to dissect exactly what happened with the biggest controversy of 2024 ... Bochum and Bannergate!

Part One's Shout Outs ponder a Sasa versus Luca battle and whether the bird that was given extensive screen time during the match delay should have been the real Man of the Match.

Part Two uses the letter "B" to frame the loss on the road to Bochum and includes talking points like "boring," "bad," and of course ... "banners"! And just like the match this weekend, an inordinate amount of time is spent on how the banner situation not only caused a conflict amongst the travelling VfB supporters and the Bochum stadium staff, but our own OFC as well. WOW!

Part Three's News, Headlines, and Questions congratulate Silas for scoring in international play and wonder what impact the banner delay had on the guys and whether VfB will ever score ... ever again.

Part Four is a longer than usual look at the upcoming opponent, RBL, although the fellas spend more time considering how good this season has been overall than actually analyzing the match next weekend.

All that and Travis almost gets knocked out by a giant VfB crest. How's that for drama?!
