Ekitike Signing Of The Summer? Salah Returns & PL Title Race | It’s Called Soccer EP 66
It’s another episode of It’s Called Soccer 🎉
We start with the Mo Salah situation, as Theo compares it to Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal exit and explains why Slot handled Salah perfectly.
Then it’s onto Ekitike, who’s been delivering for Liverpool. Is he their best signing of the summer? Theo breaks down Ekitike’s mindset and character — even saying “he reminds me of Henry”
Over to Arsenal v Wolves, where the conversation turns to just how strong the Premier League really is. No easy games and are Arsenal starting to get the luck of champions.
But Manchester City loom large. Theo and Taylor both explain why City are a huge problem for Arsenal — they’ve been here before, they know how to win, and that experience could be decisive.
We then praise Unai Emery and the incredible impact he’s had at Aston Villa.
At Celtic, the pressure is already mounting. Nancy’s start to life there, whether he was set up to fail, and if time is already running out.

Mo Salah’s OUTBURST & Will He Play For Liverpool Again? | It’s Called Soccer EP 65
It’s another episode of It’s Called Soccer, and this week we’re diving straight into the biggest story in world football: Mo Salah’s explosive post-match interview 🎙️🔥
We open with instant reactions to Salah’s comments — a moment that stunned Liverpool fans and sparked headlines everywhere.
The conversation digs deeper into the fallout, including the part where Taylor says Slot can’t play Salah again.
We then shift to Arne Slot’s perspective — his first major crisis as Liverpool manager. How does he navigate a dressing room split between players who are fully bought in and a superstar who suddenly seems disconnected?
From there, we examine Jamie Carragher’s reaction.
Then it’s decision time:
Yes or no — will Salah play for Liverpool again? And has this moment changed his legacy?
The second half of the episode brings a complete tonal shift as we celebrate Lionel Messi’s latest trophy with Inter Miami 🏆💗
Taylor shares why he’ll be telling his grandkids the story of Messi in MLS — from David Beckham’s early days as an ambitious owner to Inter Miami’s transformation into a global super club.
