We talk to writer, producer and soccer tech Julian Stone.
We talk about soccer in television and film, why Ted Lasso is so good and why overhead kicks aren't always the best things to film.
Julian talks about working with some of the game's biggest stars in commercials, the importance of narrative and story to a soccer team and the wide variety of shirts you see at American soccer games.
We talk to the greed of European Soccer League, and why its creation was inevitable given the money in the game and why promotion and relegation is needed in America.
And we discuss the finer points of Escape to Victory.
