Totally Football European Edition remains the pinnacle football podcast.
Duncan's endless jabs at "Yashin trophy" Emi Martinez are getting annoying. Did he 'rob' his own favourite goalkeeper of the award or something? If he's so offended by Martinez winning it, he should make a case for his competitors in the years 2023 and 2024 instead. And If he wants to make arguments for Raya, Courtois, or Alisson in those years, he'll quickly find out there aren't (m)any.
Why even do the boring EPL-only versions of this show at this point? The European football version is so much better and funnier! 👍
You have done a fantastic job of highlighting the NFL's https://thewire.signingdaysports.com/football/future-of-the-nfl-football-operations-predictions-and-trends/ bright future in this article about improving your American football skills! The expansion of the league's reach, both domestically and abroad, with more foreign games and more fans, is something to be excited about. What actually distinguishes the National Football League from other leagues is its dedication to innovation, particularly in the areas of player safety and technology. Efforts to enhance the watching experience and stay updated with new technology demonstrate the NFL's commitment to staying ahead of the curve. I can't wait to watch the NFL develop in the years to come!
Currently the best European football poscast around!
this is painful to listen to. to be honest and obviously every other word it feels like from lame host and panel...
Ok so Jimbo did say Thursday (rather than Tuesday) at the beginning, I double-checked
I always follow high-profile football events such as the World Cup. I used to just watch matches when I got together with my friends, but then my friends taught me how to bet on sports. They advised me this bookmaker https://1xbet-ug-betting.com/ because of the high odds and user-friendly system. Now we compete with friends who will win the most.

The Inter Totally Cup became the dumbest competition of all time after those silly backward song questions… if you’re going to do a quiz segment at least make it interesting to listen to.
