  • ‘Daily..’

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

  • Big Ups for Rick and Lloyd

    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?

    Just because someone was an ex-footballer, doesn’t make him funny. So, skip the first four minutes because they’re normally talking about shopping or dogs or some such nonsense. I have to put up with that in ever... more

    Sending these 2 to the US for this nonsense is ridiculous.

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

World Cup: England Out & Tuchel Under Fire
Q: What went wrong for England tactically after going behind?
The guests argued that Tuchel's substitutions were too defensively focused, leaving England without a credible counter-attack and failing to bring on attacking options early enough to reset the game.
World Cup: Harry Kane on Tuchel's comments, Bellingham & Argentina
Q: Why does the Kane-Bellingham partnership work so well for England, and how do you balance reliance on a couple of players with team depth?
Kane emphasizes that football is a team game; while he and Jude are central, the squad's depth, work rate, and collective understanding are essential to sustaining success across the tournament.
World Cup: Harry Kane on Tuchel's comments, Bellingham & Argentina
Q: The manager said after the Norway game that he still felt there was more to come from England in terms of the performance. How were his comments received in the dressing room?
Kane explains that the team understands the manager's messages, respects the honesty, and believes the group has the quality and mentality to translate training-ground freedom into on-pitch performance, while staying united despite outside noise.
World Cup: Wayne Rooney On England v Argentina
Q: What strategies could England employ to stop Messi and the Argentina threat?
Focus on disciplined back-line communication, pressing support from midfield, and closing down Messi's space while exploiting counter-attacking moments when Argentina commits players forward.
World Cup: Tim Ream On Leading The USA & His Hair Promise
Q: What was the moment like when you found out you'd be captain at a World Cup home tournament?
Ream describes the surprise and honor of the captaincy, including the public announcement and the sense that it represented a culmination of sacrifices made to reach this point.
