If you love the beautiful game, you’ll love this podcast

I came across this wonderful podcast because I am a huge fan of LAFC. I view soccer as a global, unifying sport that is for everyone, and I find a lot of the subjects and guests to be fascinating and topical to what is going on in sports and society as a whole. The hosts are incredibly organized and thoughtful in the flow of each episode, and their warmth and true passion for the sport makes it a joy to listen to this podcast. I look forward to getting notification of a new episode, it’s truly one of the most interesting sports podcasts I’ve listened to.
