BrazilSoccer ,

Great podcast on Brazilian football/soccer!!

I love The Elastico podcast. They used to cover world football, but now have moved to a more niche category of just Brazilian football and players. It is a great way to get updates on a very exciting/interesting/unique league, as well as updates on the likes of Neymar, Lucas, Damiao, Ronaldinho, etc.

Great podcast about the beautiful game!

Good quality podcast about all things football/soccer. They cover variety of topics, including major leagues around the world. If you follow the game across the globe, interested in past, present and the future of the game this podcast and its associated excellent website is definitely something to check out.
