Episode Description

Football from a couple's perspective! One of us lives for football and the other is just trying to keep up. Join Carl (husband) and Linda (wife) as they navigate the biggest stories in the game.

The World Cup 2026 lineup is officially COMPLETE! We round up the final play-off drama, including DR Congo’s historic qualification and the absolute meltdown in Rome as Italy miss their third consecutive World Cup after a shock loss to Bosnia & Herzegovina. Is Italian football in a permanent crisis?

In "What You Missed," we discuss the chaos at Tottenham as Igor Tudor is sacked after just 44 days. Is Roberto De Zerbi the right man for the job, or is the controversy surrounding his appointment already too much? Plus, we look at why Chelsea fans are fuming at Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella for their recent comments, and UEFA's "PR masterstroke" regarding EURO 2028 ticket prices.

Linda gets a lesson on the weird and wonderful world of Football Mascots—from Gunnersaurus to Portland’s chainsaw-wielding lumberjack—and we see if you can beat our FA Cup Final Quiz!
