  • ‘Daily..’

    As in very occasionally during the summer, like last season. It’s pre-season, transfers, Infantino.. Not everyone can be on the beach.

    I loved experiencing the World Cup with Rick and Lloyd! Thanks for the unique perspective and please do it again; Euro’s, Ladies World Cup, Olympics (football only, of course), cathedrals, fire engines of the world…pretty much anything.

  • The cult of the presenter

    This used to be an excellent podcast, focussing on football (and all the characters of the game). Unfortunately they lost that focus a long time ago and there are still too many in-jokes and book promotions and no true insights. Can’t anybody simply approach the game front on anymore?

  • Awful

    The worst reporting of the World Cup. The main presenter, presumably paid to go to America to do these podcast, spends over 5 minutes talking about how he spent his ‘holiday’ in the States. He then admits he couldn’t even be bothered to watch the game he was supposedly covering. Pathetic
