  • Good show

    I really like the show. It’s well balanced and less pundit driven compared to other shows .

    One favor would be a bit more balance when it comes to Norway and its players. I love Norway and Odegard , however nobody including Harland is free of errors and he didn’t perform last year

  • Best English-Language Bundesliga Pod

    Father Jan and son Markus Fjørtoft always manage to find interesting perspectives on the latest matches and news from the Bundesliga. They can switch from the weekend’s best goals to talk of the concept of flow from psychology to tactics and even bring us into what may be going on in players’ heads. Smart and fun and will help you grow your love for the most dynamic football league. Highly recommended.

  • Great pod

    Loving this, humorous, knowledgeable and importantly, not a ridiculous length (If I see 1 hour+ it’s a no go). Think I’ve finally found my German football podcast.
