Our latest winner, and next week’s show

Hello everybody. Congratulations to the latest predictor giveaway winner, Tim from Georgia, who took home a Russian national team jersey for his pick in the Bayern v. Zenit UEFA Cup match. We’ll have more giveaways soon, with more prizes from our prize sponsor, SoccerPro.com. The Champions League final is coming up, for example …

This coming week’s show is a milestone for us, our 21st episode. As with any 21st birthday, I imagine there will be some drinking involved, but I wanted to follow in the footsteps of some other podcasts and start opening the pod to questions and suggestions of subjects from our listeners. We’ll try it out, and see how it works, and like anything else, we’ll scrap it if it doesn’t.

On this week’s show, I’ll be joined by Ryan Knapp to talk about Spain, Inara to talk about France, and Christian Reyes to get us ready for the Copa Libertadores knockouts. If there are any subjects you’d like to ask them about, or anything in general about football you’d like us to talk about, leave it in the comments, or email me at podcast @ the offside . com. Thanks for listening.

Bayern or Russia jersey giveaway

Well, we’re just a few hours out from the launch of Episode 20 here on the podcast, but I wanted to drop a quick note before then and announce our predictor contest for this week. On Thursday, we have the first leg of the UEFA Cup semifinals, including Bayern Munich v. Zenit St. Petersburg. Whoever can most accurately predict the score of that match will get their choice of a Bayern Munich jersey or Russia National Team jersey (Zenit’s are a bit hard to come by) from our sponsors at SoccerPro.com. Just send your final score (and halftime score, to use as a tie-breaker) to podcast @ theoffside.com, and you’ll be entered. Good luck, and thanks for listening.

Reminder: Barcelona and Man U giveaways

Just a little reminder about our backpack and sackpack giveaway. If anyone is interested in winning Barcelona or Man United gear, you need to send in your picks to podcast[at]theoffside.com before the games kick off.

The contest is closed, after the 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough and the kickoff of the Barca-Getafe match. I’ll be announcing the winners on this blog soon. Thanks, everyone for entering.
