Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 7k ratings
  • Mediocre

    The panelists are truly mediocre. Other than Stevie, Shaka, Robbo and Gav most are unlistenable. LeBoeuf needs to go. Barely speaks English, just total word salad. Nonsensical.

    Nedum is City Fan TV. Thinks he’s smart but says the same shiyyite everyday. “my friend” “you say that…”

    Can’t stand listening to him.

    I know it’s audio from a tv show but the production values are terrible. Dan and Kay are v. good.

Futbol W: Gotham FC discussion+Cloé Lacasse joins the show+NWSL Stick or Switch Predictions+WAFCON discussion+Top 10 goals
Q: The all-time goal contributor and now a contributor to Futbol W, Cloé Lacasse joins the show. Cloé, so good to see you, especially after that big win this weekend where you had to stand up, another standout performance should I say, with those three assists, tell us how those first few minutes of the game went, how you were reading the Portland defense and you were able to get so many assists in one game.
Lacasse explains that the opening minutes were rough, but the team grew into the game, focusing on extending plays and delivering crosses to exploit vulnerabilities in Portland's back line. She emphasizes momentum shifts and the importance of maintaining pressure after the early setback.
Mexico Opens the World Cup With a Bang!
Q: What do you think the USA needs to do against Paraguay to advance?
They need to maintain composure, avoid silly goals, and play with grit for 90 minutes, not just short stretches; defend well and capitalize on chances to secure three points.
World Cup Favorites
Q: Jurgen, let's focus on the Carlo Ancelotti factor here with this Brazil team and the difference that it will make to have a manager like this at the helm.
Ancelotti can manage egos and balance talent by creating a clear game plan, leveraging experience, and keeping the squad motivated through a long tournament, which is crucial for Brazil to sustain performance.
