Customer Reviews
The greatest Pod in relation to Football.
I love this Podcast. It’s absolutely brilliant! I love learning about the individual games and the history around them. Any chance you gentleman can do a World Cup version. Where you analyze every World Cup.
Love the podcast but hard to hear
I’m a big fan of Jonathan and Marcus does a wonderful job of moderating, but I wish the recording quality was better. Jonathan is difficult to hear - can you speak a bit louder and at a slightly higher pitch? Keep up the great work.
More Greatest Games!
I was recently introduced to The Blizzard and their Greatest Games series. Marcus is a great host, facilitating an interesting conversation between Jonathan and the guest to draw out the human story behind the scoreline. My "greatest game" was covered, and brought forward many reflections that I hadn't considered. I appreciate the strong diversity of guests, who represent different continents and football leagues. I hope the games covered will also include the Asian continent.
