The Cooligans react to Arsenal finally ending their 22-year wait for a Premier League title and debate whether Mikel Arteta’s side can now shake the “bottlers” label for good and build the next great football dynasty.

Then former USMNT midfielder and Fox Sports analyst Stu Holden joins the show to break down the pressure facing the United States ahead of the World Cup, why this tournament could permanently change soccer in America, and his advice for Christian Pulisic.
