Welcome to the very first episode of "Football Ball Podcast," where Zack aka Mr. Stateside breaks down the beautiful game with a unique American flair. In this episode, we're dissecting the thrilling 2024-25 Premier League season by focusing on the teams that defined it: the top three and the promoted clubs.

Get ready for some data, some hot takes, and some hilarious "meme-able moments.

In this episode, we cover:

Liverpool's Title: How did Arne Slot's team win the league in his first season? We break down the stats, from their goal-scoring machine to their fortress-like defense, and give our NFL comparison.

Arsenal's Close Call: Another year, another second-place finish. We dive into the numbers that show just how dominant they were and debate what's still missing for Mikel Arteta's squad.

Manchester City's Drop-off: After four consecutive titles, a third-place finish is a surprise. We analyze what went wrong for Pep Guardiola's "pass kings" and what this means for the new season.

Promoted Teams: We introduce the new clubs—Leeds, Burnley, and Sunderland—and discuss the daunting task they face to avoid immediate relegation.

The "Hipster Prediction": Zack reveals his surprising prediction for a mid-table team that could make a run for European qualification.
