Bravo Phillipe

As an American living in the USA, I’d like to comment on Phillipe’s statement on USA hosting the 2026 World Cup. I’d like to say thank you and very well said.

Disappointed/unsurprised

I used to enjoy this podcast and listened religiously until, in classic Guardian style, they decide to jump on the bandwagon and pick on Israel, comparing them to Russia, with Phillipe going on a whole outrageously biased rant. Then when Jews were hunted down in Amsterdam, there was a cursory mention, barely discussing the disgraceful occurrence, and of course then basically blaming the Jews for a clearly pre meditated attack because a bunch of them (wrongly and stupidly) pulled a flag down the day before and chanted some moronic songs. Well done Guardian, truly showing your colours and losing a listener in the process. But as I’m Zionist, you probably don’t think I deserve to listen anyway. Oh and Jonny Liew, you really need to read more about the whole situation and some history!
Not for everyone

SethFourTen

I’ve been subscribing to this podcast since the South African World Cup, I can no longer stand to listen to heartless antisemites of the guardian. Their calls for human rights for everyone except Jews betrays everything I thought they stood for and it breaks my heart. Free the hostages. Never again.
Gets better with age.

This show has aged well - Max can coax a laugh out of almost any discussion but he’s never phony and is willing to be serious and doesn’t hide from heavier subject matter. May it continue.
