World Soccer Daily is a radio show established in 2002 and hosted by Nick Geber and Steven Cohen. The hosts talk about a range of topics related to soccer, and occasionally discuss current events. It is a call-in show, and so rarely follows any fixed program, but the English Premier League is usually the most common topic of discussion.[1]
World Soccer Daily airs Monday to Friday from 1 PM until 3 PM (EST) on Channel 125 of Sirius radio. It is also available via streaming audio from Big Soccer Radio Network or Real Player radio, or via podcast. [2] Geber and Cohen also host a live TV show Fox Football Fone-in, currently airing Tuesday nights 8 PM to 10 PM (EST) on Fox Soccer Channel.
The show's hosts are frequent critics of Major League Soccer, USA international midfielder Landon Donovan (whom they typically refer to as "Dandy Landy," "Landycakes," or "Primadonovan"), and ESPN's lead announcer for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Dave O'Brien.[citation needed] In the past they have said they are somewhat casual supporters of Chivas USA due to the passion of their fans and the front office.
On February 26, 2007, the pair announced on air that in mid April 2007, Geber would be leaving the show in order to pursue other projects, including an expanded format for his current Bluff Magazine poker radio program. He will instead become the first option fill-in host, while Howard Rogers (the previous first option fill-in host) will be taking over Nick's duties as full time co-host. Geber remains a partner in the company that owns the radio program.
In March 2007 Nick and Steven were featured in FourFourTwo, a British football magazine. They were also in the Australian and American edition.
