135. The Cooligans

Urban Pitch Podcast - The Beautiful Game of Life

The gulliest podcast duo in the game, Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco, aka the Cooligans, have been putting out some of the funniest soccer analysis and content since they started in 2015.

We caught up with both of them in 2019 for an interview on the website, but a lot has changed since then — both with them and soccer culture in America. We discuss some of those changes, their growth, and what lies ahead for them on the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast!
