On this, the Thursday show of World Football Daily, we start to finish off this international break with a bang. Starting things off is the Ligue 1 commentator and French football correspondent Matt Spiro who joins Ollie to relive the stunning comeback from les Bleus against the Ukraine. We get a sense of how the country has responded and rallied behind their team and their manager. We also ask the commentator whether or not we will see a similar fate for France to that which we saw in 2010 in South Africa. And finally, we start to look forward to the return of Ligue 1 football and what we can expect to see this weekend across France. Will Zlatan have a renewed sense of determination to prove himself on the global stage now that he is not apart of this Summer's World Cup? Then, Rafa comes on the program to look at maps... Yes. Maps. Ollie went out of his way to put together a map that defines the coverage of professional soccer in this country. No, not TV coverage, but general placement of teams in Major League Soccer, the USL and NASL. We also look forward and predict where we think the last three MLS team will be from, judging by the general placement of teams across all three current leagues. Want to throw in your two cents, send us an email. But first, listen to the pod. |
