EPL Season Preview and Matt Freese Talks Penalty Strategy

Penalties are Matt Freese’s thing! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts are joined by NYCFC and USMNT goalkeeper Matt Freese to talk penalty shootouts, Harvard, and what’s next for the breakout star of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. 

Tim and Landon also break down a preview for the upcoming 2025-26 English Premier League season including predictions for defending champions Liverpool F.C., a possible return for Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal making another title run, and which newly-promoted club could stay up this season. 

In the AT&T Mailbag, Tim and Landon talk the Lamar Hunt Open Cup, D.C. United fans at their wits end, and what country is REALLY Landon’s “other team”.
