Squawkin' Sports: Soccer Edition Hosted by Patrick Sauer &amp; David J. Roth Featuring authors Leander Schaerlaeckens and Todd Smith Tickets starting at $11 Created and hosted by writers Patrick Sauer and David J. Roth, Squawkin’ Sports is an ongoing series featuring book chats with authors who write about playing games. This month, as the World Cup looms, Sauer and Roth chat with Leander Schaerlaeckens, author of The Long Game: U.S. Men's Soccer and Its Savage, Four-Decade Journey to the Top, or Thereabouts , and Todd Smith, author of Relegated: One American's Pints-and-Pies Journey from the Top to the Bottom of English Football.The Long Game is long-time soccer writer Leander Schaerlaeckens's gripping account of the U.S. men’s national soccer team’s winding saga from obscurity to the global stage as they stand on the brink of a seminal World Cup in 2026. Previous Squawkin' Sports guest writer Stefan Fatsis (Unabridged) raves "With his behind-the-scenes reporting and clear-eyed prose, Schaerlaeckens shows that, when it comes to the USMNT, you have to be a true believer and a skeptic all at once.” For fans of Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham, Todd Smith's Relegated is a rollicking travel memoir by a middle-aged Midwesterner journeying through the United Kingdom, its football clubs, and the rich traditions of English football culture. Award-winning sports writer Chris Jones writes "Todd Smith is the poet laureate of the overlooked, and Relegated is delightful. It's a story about soccer and life, love and joy, connection and hope, underdogs and also-rans. Like the clubs and cities and fans he lovingly profiles, Smith is impossible not to root for." $11: 1 beer $42: 1 beer + The Long Game $42: 1 beer + Relegated $80: 2 beers + both books
