  • Good if they watch the game

    I do like this podcast but it’s very obvious when they haven’t actually watched the games. It’s okay to admit that you didn’t watch and still make some comments

  • Disappointing Halftime Discussion

    I tuned in on the Golazo network and watched the 2nd leg of France vs Germany. Great game, would love to have seen the highlights of the game and hear commentary on the teams’ performance. However, the hosts only talked about the USWNT. While I understand this is the USA, the commentary should be pertinent to the game being broadcast and other comments should be secondary. There was no commentary on the active game. Disappointed.
