    We Found America's Craziest Football Bar

    This week, Kicking Back goes international as we head to New Jersey and discover what might just be the BEST football bar we've ever seen - Varitage Brew Works! Surrounded by supporters gearing up for the Champions League Final, we dive into football culture in America, why the sport feels bigger than ever over there, and whether the US might secretly care more about football than we realised. We also make our predictions ahead of one of the biggest finals in world football. Elsewhere, we talk football pubs, fan culture, why watching games abroad hits differently, and the surprising places football passion is thriving around the world.

    Why Football Hasnt Felt The Same Since 2010

    This week, we catch full-blown World Cup fever as we debate whether 2010 was the greatest World Cup EVER - reliving the madness of South Africa, iconic goals, unforgettable moments, legendary kits, Shakira’s Waka Waka, Suarez’ infamous handball, Zidane’s headbutt, and the tournaments that defined our childhoods. We also ask whether England can finally go all the way, rank some of the best World Cup songs ever, and get nostalgic over the football summers that seemed to bring entire towns together. Elsewhere, we introduce a brand new segment as we discuss the football clubs we’d most love to visit around the world - from Bayern Munich to Atletico Madrid - and why some clubs just feel different.  What’s YOUR favourite World Cup ever?

    Chelsea Sacked Him... He STILL Gets 20M 😂

    This week, we dive into the madness at Chelsea FC as another manager walks away very well paid - asking how clubs keep getting it so wrong and why sackings seem to come with a smile these days. We get into the chaos of modern football ownership, debate who could (or should) fix Chelsea, and question whether the game’s lost the plot when failure comes with a £20M reward - before talking Player of the Year shouts, giving Bruno Fernandes his flowers, and exploring a huge moment in the game as Marie-Louise Eta makes history on the touchline. Who's your Player Of The Year?

    Is Mo Salah the Greatest African Player in Premier League History?

    This week, we ask the big one: is Mohamed Salah actually the greatest African player in Premier League history? We debate Salah vs Yaya Touré (with Didier Drogba firmly in the mix), talk legacy, timing, and whether we’re taking greatness for granted while it’s right in front of us - before diving into discontinued snacks, building our ultimate 5-a-side, and uncovering some absolute forgotten gems along the way.
