Bruce Arena and the US Soccer front office need to be fired immediately

I'm going to say Bruce Arena. That guy's been around forever. Get the fuck out of here, man. ... GM, clean house.

Bruce Arena resigned three days after this episode aired (Oct 13, 2017).

It would be hilarious if the US Men's Soccer team failed to qualify for the World Cup

It would be hilarious if the US didn't make the World Cup. It would be very, very funny. It would be so fucking funny. We could make jokes all summer long and be like, when does the US play?

The US lost to Trinidad and Tobago and failed to qualify, leading to exactly the jokes Big Cat predicted.

Leicester City winning the Premier League was crazier than the Cubs or Cavs championships

[Leicester winning] was by far of those four. That's like kind of what we want people to compare... Leicester City, that was freaking weird, especially given how they're not very good this year either.

From a betting odds perspective, Leicester's win is objectively the largest upset in sports history.

I own a piece of Swansea City AFC

You and I are both owners of Swansea... I own like 0.08% of 1%. I'm part of one of the groups that bought Swansea.

Dan Katz (Big Cat) did indeed purchase a very small minority stake in Swansea City as part of the American ownership group led by Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan.

Leicester City is a fraud if they don't defend their title

If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud. Let's just put our cards on the table here, Leicester City. If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud.

Leicester City finished 12th the following season, failing to defend their title. By PFT's criteria, they are officially frauds.
