In this episode we are privileged to spend time with the godfather of soccer talk in the United States, Nick Geber. Nick is the host of World Soccer Radio, which you can listen to every weeknight at 9pm Eastern. You can find it on UStream, TuneIn, or on your local radio station. Find out more on facebook and twitter by searching for World Soccer Radio. You can find Nick on twitter @nickgeber.

Nick is going to educate our listeners today about the most popular club tournament in the world: The UEFA Champions League. He’ll talk about the ever evolving club vs. country debate, the current and future clubs to watch in this tournament, Financial Fair Play and how this affects a possibly breakaway competing tournament, and much more.

Join hosts Stephen Heiner, Per Lahti, and Ryan Shea Hourigan as we spend some time discussing these issues with Nick. We will also take questions on twitter (@TBeautifulGame).

Season 1 of The Beautiful Game will feature 4 special episodes focusing on one aspect of our show. This is episode 3 of that series. Previous shows have focused on MLS and the BPL.

The Beautiful Game is a soccer podcast devoted to educating the newest fans of the world’s most popular sport. We cover the latest news in UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League, Major League Soccer, and World Cup. We believe you can understand where you are and where you are going if you understand where you came from, so we also feature interviews with soccer writers and journalists to give a broader historical perspective to current news. We will also periodically review rules and regulations so the newer listener can bring a greater context to enjoying our favorite sport.
