In Episode 144, the four humans with Black fathers get in on the start of the UEFA Champions League and Kylian Mbappe's last minute winner against Real Madrid. This week we are rejoined by one of our earliest guests on the podcast, the Chair of United Soccer Coaches' Black Soccer Advocacy Group, Nicole Hercules! We take a previous of what's to come in the first knockout round of the Champions League and which fixtures we're looking forward and dig into another episode of Manche- ahem, Telenovela United as the latest stories have the team mocking their assistant coach, former New York Red Bulls head coach Chris Armas, and if American managers will ever be accepted in the upper echelon of European clubs.
In the 2nd half of the show, we catch up with Nicole, recapping the recent US Soccer Coaches' Convention in Kansas City, the current ongoings of the BSAG, the alarming shortages of Black coaches, especially in the women's game, and how to continue advocating for increased representation in the game.
