    The Premier League is into it's "Winter Break" with only 4 games this weekend and the rest the following weekend...very spaced out to give teams some rest. Everton v Crystal Palace Saturday with Sheffield United v Bournemouth and Man City v West Ham on Sunday. The boys also dive into the Round of 16 FA Cup matchups that will take place in early March. Both USMNT and USWNT are attempting to qualify for the Olympics this summer. The USMNT had a lot of fresh faces in their January camp recently. They were able to beat Costa Rica in a friendly last week 1-0 with new boy Ulysses Llanez scoring the only goal. Also Bryan gives us some life lessons, talks about his favorite Liga MX team Tijuana Xolos (favorite player is a guy named Killer Miller LOL) and goes on some epic rants. Welcome back Bryan!

    It's another week with this being a bit different of a show....because this only happens two times a year! The hectic schedule brought Adam into the studio by himself to bring you all the transfers that have gone down this month. Bryan had to catch a flight to Texas but have no fear, he was able to call in before he got on the plane : ) Lots to discuss with all the new faces in the Premier League. And same faces but in a different kit. Finally, a little tribute to Kobe Bryant who tragically died in a helicopter accident early Sunday morning. His impact on the game of soccer was immense and had many friends within the soccer community. The Kickin It Stateside boys send their thoughts and prayers to the Bryant family as well as the other families that were impacted by this tragic event. Love you guys!
