It’s a brand new season of It’s Called Soccer, welcoming Theo Walcott for his debut alongside host Rebecca Lowe 🤩
Could the FA Cup and Community Shield tempt stars like Eze and Guehi to stay put? Theo shares his thoughts on the Community Shield.
Walcott weighs in on Eze’s future, confident he’d choose Palace over Arsenal, while explaining how Guehi could fit perfectly alongside Van Dijk. On Liverpool, Theo calls them favourites and praises their signings but stresses the importance of integrating new players. He also discusses Isak’s current situation.

Ekitike to Liverpool, Gyokeres Joins Arsenal & Rashford’s Barcelona Move | It’s Called Soccer EP 42
This week on the Summer Series, Dax McCarty and Taylor Twellman go deep on the biggest transfer headlines across Europe — and Dax reveals his surprise Messi jersey moment.
Liverpool’s summer strategy is under the spotlight, with Dax showing love for boss Arne Slot and making a bold comparison between new signing Hugo Ekitike and Karim Benzema. Taylor agrees — and predicts Ekitike could be a 20+ goal striker at Anfield.
At Arsenal, Dax calls Viktor Gyökeres the best #9 the club has had since Robin van Persie, claiming they would’ve won the Premier League last season with him up front. Plus, the guys debate whether Arteta must win silverware this year to justify the project.
Manchester United’s window raises bigger questions. While Mbeumo and Cunha have arrived, Dax and Taylor agree the club still lacks a true #9 — and dive into the deeper cultural issues holding United back. Meanwhile, Rashford to Barcelona? Dax is all-in, and Taylor thinks the move could unlock another 20-goal season.
In Spain, Johnny Cardoso’s move to Atlético Madrid could be a boost. Dax likes the deal, but questions if he’ll get minutes under Simeone — and what that means for the USMNT.
Taylor breaks down why the MLS All-Star Game still matters, tracing its evolution from 2002 to now, including big-name clashes with Arsenal and beyond.
