Episode 01: World Cup Qualifiers!

For the last episode of the season, I’ll be ending on a controversial topic, the question, "Who is the greatest player to ever step foot on the field?" Some would say it would be some of the older legends such as Maradona, Pele, or Zidane but truly in my opinion the only debate to be had is between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

This week on Inside and Outside the Lines, we’ll be talking about two studs and their impact this season. Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr. are tearing up the La Liga for Real Madrid this year, we’ll be analyzing their impact and why it’s so difficult to stop them when they get going because of their dominance on the attack this season so far. 

In today’s episode, we’ll be taking a look at some of the best young players in the world right now, performing for the biggest clubs gaining fame and reputation and where their careers could go, and comparing them to some of the legendary players of the modern era when they were that young. This is the first installment of these episodes on young players, look for part two in the future!

On this episode of inside and outside the lines, we’ll be discussing that as the season winds on, the race for the prestigious English premier league title. The race seems closer than ever with Manchester City atop the table right now followed by Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham United. As much as there is competition for the top spot there's just as much incentive to strive for one of the top four spots to earn themselves a ticket to the Champions League.

As we start off the new year and a World Cup year it only seems right to kick off this season with a World Cup episode. Today we’ll be discussing the European drama, the pros and cons for the USMNT this year after a record-breaking successful year last year, and of course much of the other noise surrounding the 2022 World Cup being held in Qatar. 

Hey! My name is Timmy Chik and this podcast is a space where we talk about all things soccer (or football as I will frequently call it), formations, tactics, history, recent highlights, transfer news, and everything along either side of those lines. The beautiful game has so much depth and I can not wait to dive into all of it with you! A little about me, I have played the game my entire life I am so passionate about the game and absolutely love playing and discussing the game, I am a high school student and am in the middle of the recruitment process to play at the collegiate level, so we will discuss that journey as well.  Falling in love with the game has been an everyday occurrence for me for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to talk about everything about the beautiful game with you, thank you for listening and be sure to share with your friends and family
