Soccer Sense Podcast Soccer Sense

It is time for our European Correspondent to spike his hair up, dust off his notebook, and set off on a cross continental adventure with his do-- oh wait, that's Tintin. In this week's episode we have Karan, Soccer Sense's european correspondent giving us the full preview of the UEFA Champions League, the last of its kind in terms of the 32-team format.

Tareque, Karan, and Vishal are back again with a new instalment of searching for Soccer Sense amidst all the madness this week of France and Australia's penalty theatrics literally spilling over into a theater, and a Premier League opening weekend that answered a lot of questions but raised many interesting ones. 

Soccer Sense's resident women's football correspondent joins us for a special preview of the Women's World Cup where we discuss who to look out for, the strides the women's game has made, and the steps it still needs to take, and how you, the listener, can be a part of the revolution that is sweeping women's sport!

There are great previews of the World Cup available that cover much more of the richer details but here are a few you can refer to
1. The most comprehensive player guide!
2. The astonishing story of Haiti and how they made it that we referred to in the middle of the episode.
3. A good primer on the ACL injury epidemic that seems to be there in women's sport. 

This week, the full panel returns to talk about the podcast's designated Devil's Advocate, Jose Mourinho, and his shenanigans after the Europa League final, and also look ahead to the Champions League final which Karan desperately wants Inter to lose.  

The full panel of Tareque, Karan, and Vishal is back to look at the trends that have emerged from a chaotic season of football in Europe, assesses the last decade of this podcast and sets a direction for the future. 

Soccer Sense finally makes a comeback, having slumbered through Argentina's World Cup triumph, but we sure as heck are not going to miss the Napoli Narrative. Tareque and Karan take a look at the state of affairs in the Serie A, and pull the lens back to try and catch the throughline between Napoli's current position and their last Scudetto, back in 1990.
