135. The Cooligans

Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco join the latest Urban Pitch Podcast to discuss the growth of the Cooligans, the future of sports media in the U.S., and what lies ahead for them.

Where to Listen

The gulliest podcast duo in the game, Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco, aka the Cooligans, have been putting out some of the funniest soccer analysis and content since they started in 2015.

We caught up with both of them in 2019 for an interview on the website, but a lot has changed since then — both with them and soccer culture in America. We discuss some of those changes, their growth, and what lies ahead for them on the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast!
