  • 5 star podcast on Asian football

    Really love the way Scott and Paul cover footballing issues across the entire continent of Asia, which is quite multicultural and diverse in economic and cultural status. They don’t only focus on the big nations which is a nice change to most other football podcasts.

  • Both unique and brilliant

    Scott and Paul do an excellent job covering an expansive football catchment that is both populous and largely untapped in podcasting. Two terrific guys who are equally terrific journalists. Excellent bredth of analysis and connected to the highest-quality talent in Asia.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

World Cup Daily: Japan make history in rout of Tunisia
Q: What changes did Moriyasu make to adapt to Tunisia and maximize the win?
Moriyasu shifted to a formation that allowed more fluid ball circulation, brought in Tanaka to midfield to control tempo, kept Tomiyasu fit to strengthen defense and ball distribution, and emphasized a deep, adaptable squad capable of changing roles to keep the attack and pressure consistent.
World Cup Daily: Korea humbled by South Africa as Qatar bow out
Q: Why do you think Sun Yong-min started on the bench and how might that have affected Korea's performance?
The hosts and analysts debated it as a strategic risk; some suggested Sun's absence limited attacking options and shifted attacking responsibilities to other players, possibly impacting cohesion and final-third creation.
