The Friday morning podcast where a special guest drops by to preview the biggest match across world football over the coming weekend.

It could be EURO 2024 or the North London Derby. There might be stories from behind the scenes about what it means to represent one of the clubs involved as a player or a fan. Or there might just be a big game in the Premier League or Copa América.

Some guests so far:

⚽︎CLIVE TYLDESLEY

The legendary commentator joined before calling his 30th Champions League final for CBS.

⚽︎ROBBIE EARLE

A studio analyst on NBC’s coverage of the Premier League, Robbie came on ahead of MAN CITY-ARSENAL and came back for Championship Sunday.

⚽︎DEREK RAE

The ESPN (and FIFA/EAFC) commentator called a good chunk of Bayer Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten run, and he also showcased his encyclopedic knowledge of German football.

⚽︎JON CHAMPION

The ESPN and NBC commentator ran through some of his favorite stadiums to commentate from ahead of the FA Cup final.

You can also check out the show on Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon, and Acast.
