Shootouts, Shake-Ups, and the Celtic Carousel: Morning Espresso, 10.28
About this episode
The MLS Playoffs delivered drama once again — from Minnesota’s shootout heroics to Cincinnati’s late winner in the “Hell is Real” derby. Home teams keep holding serve, but tonight LAFC and Austin get their turn under the lights as Son Heung-min chases a big postseason moment.
Meanwhile across the Atlantic, Celtic are spinning on the managerial carousel again. Brendan Rodgers is out amid accusations of creating a “toxic atmosphere,” and club legend Martin O’Neill steps in on an interim basis with Shaun Maloney. But with Ange Postecoglou linked to a shocking return and Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna on the radar, chaos reigns in Glasgow.
Plus, Lionel Messi’s hint about one more World Cup run, Atlanta United’s coaching search heating up with Tata Martino and Giovanni Savarese mentioned in reports, and a new scandal shaking Turkish football.
It’s all part of your Tuesday brew — the stories, the context, and the world’s game Around the Corner from Everywhere.
☕ Morning Espresso is brought to you by Oglethorpe University — Atlanta’s premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.
