  • Un podcast informé, intelligent et accessible.

    Un podcast de qualité. Un excellent mélange de commentaires objectifs, d’analyse tactique et d’opinions. Même si les animateurs sont des fans du IMFC, la conversation ne sombre pas dans la partisanerie bon marché comme plusieurs médias mainstream. L’ajout de Sam Savy à l’équipe est pour moi un game changer. Il communique ses observations et ses analyses sans tomber dans le cliché et j’en apprends sur le foot un peu plus à chaque écoute. AAA kind of piece.
