169. A Wild Olympics and Giroud's Aura

Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game of Life

Every four years, we're treated to the Summer Olympics — a three-week span of pomp, circumstance, and national pride. This year's games in Paris were among the best in recent memory, and featured countless jaw-dropping moments, including on the football pitch. From a USWNT gold medal to another crash out from a United States men's team, we recap the footy that took place across France over the past few weeks, in addition to a few of our other favorite moments from other sports. We also get into Olivier Giroud's arrival in Los Angeles, and how both LA MLS teams are looking dangerous as the season ramps up for its final quarter.
