What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Appreciate the show, and the very knowledgeable hosts. This said, they use a fairly narrow prism, probably due to the need to pick for a US audience - a bit obsessed with just a few teams, a little too opinionated and the hosts tend to pile on on the poorly performing team of the day, and are a bit too chummy with a nostalgic 1990s old player vibe. Would love to see more voices and a more diverse set of themes

I don’t understand how a show from such a big company like ESPN can have such poor sound mixing. At least once a month (including June 27th’s episode), the sound only comes out of the left speaker (except commercials, which are at least mono). Commercials are often way louder than the show’s content and distorted. Been a daily listener since the 2018 World Cup but sad how amateurish the production of the show is sometimes.

I enjoy listening to this podcast, daily!…I enjoy it most when there are varying at times opposing views on the topic under discussion. I highly recommend this podcast to soccer/football fans all over the world!

Easily the best show on espn… the guys keep it real and I laugh daily at all the joke. Great chemistry.

Eric Arbo · Aug 2022

Great topics, great guests. I listened to three episodes before I was too annoyed by the intermittent music and crowd noise tracks that were played during key conversation moments. Just let the guest speak—we don’t need loud and distracting music or crowd chants that have nothing to do with the answers. It’s so disrespectful to the guests that you don’t just give them that space. The noise was only ever put behind the guests, never the host. Who asked for that??

Docisin247 · Aug 2023

I used to like this show, but it has sort of evolved into Grumpy men complaining about players and coaches they don’t like. Recently, host Dan Thomas and one of the other guests Stuart Robson literally asked Jurgen Klinsmann at what point “he wanted to punch Mikel Arteta in the face?” are you kidding me? And then Robson adds that he would have followed through on a tackle to take out the manager if he was a player. The general media bias and hate towards Arsenal has been a go-to narrative, but inciting violence on a manager is disgraceful and unacceptable, especially from a respectful company like ESPN. I’ve unfollowed the podcast and will find another podcast for football punditry. Cheers.
