  • My favourite football podcast

    I’ve been an Optus Sport subscriber for years - only way to feed my football obsession in Australia and this podcast is my weekly go to for what’s happening in the football world. I’m loving the addition of Phil Kitromilides for the La Liga lowdown (and his devotion to Spurs) and enjoying the WSL segments. Amid the banter there’s really substantial analysis and multiple perspectives. Keep it up!
