An awesome slate of Round of 16 fixtures is halfway done, and we've got all the juicy gossip for you. Well, the juicy match recaps, anyway.

Join us as we break down all of last week's games and storylines, including late winners for both Rome and Lazio, Rangers' shock in Istanbul, AZ's continued mastery, and Bodo's main character energy in Europa. And over in the Conference, Vitoria and Jagiellonia impress, Celje Cinderellas, and Fiorentina frustrates once again.

All that and much more.

Cheers Barry Ferguson!

Our spinoff show Any Given Bracket is back, and with an all new formula.

Join Maxwell in welcoming Jacob Hill back to the pod, not to talk college, but NBA! We're taking a page out of the Podfather himself Bill Simmons' book and redrafting the class of 2011. It's a strong group highlighted by a number of Hall of Famers, All-Stars, and NBA champions, but also not lacking in the downright bizarre.

Jacob and Maxwell first discuss the draft order, Fran Fraschilla's expert analysis, and Jan Vesely's girlfriend and jump-shot, before moving on to the redraft, where they attempt to build the best possible 8-man roster from the wide array of available talent.

Who's the first and second player off the board? How high will 2011 Mr. Irrelevant Isaiah Thomas go? Will the big-man trio of Enes Kanter, Tristan Thompson, and Bismack Biyombo still all go top 7?? (No.)

All this and more on our 2011 NBA Redraft!

Cheers!

The Playoff Knockout Round closed with a bang.

In the Europa, Bodo wins an instant classic in a win over Twente, a game which featured 3 goals in a span of 5 minutes of added time, Ajax survive a magnificent Saint Gilloise in extra time, a brilliant Dybala sees of Porto, and AZ stake their claim as a proper contender.

In the Conference, Heidenheim experiences heartbreak at the hands of Copenhagen, Shamrock and Vikingur exit cruelly in the tightest of margins, Pafos settles the Cyprus derby, and Celje shocks once again.

We dig into all the games, take a look ahead to the Round of 16 draw, and even work some puns into the mix. Why not?

Cheers Mladen Žižović!
