    This would be five stars, but
    I love hearing about all the football stories from around the world, with clubs I didn’t previously know existed. Lee and Paul clearly find such joy in niche and underdog stories, and it’s a genuine pleasure to listen to. The show, however, has slowly begun devoting more time to FIFAPlus infomercials , and that’s both obnoxious and questionable. Come for the great football stories, but be prepared to skip several minutes per episode if you don’t want the marketing nonsense.

    Great football podcast for stories you’d never heard anywhere else
    If you’re interested in football stories that aren’t going to make it onto any of your other podcasts, this is the place!

    Greatest world football podcast
    They look at football from all over and give great stories that are very interesting. Great podcast.
  • B-Zander
    Fantastic!
    If you enjoy hearing about the non-major leagues in Europe, this is for you!
  • ConorMKilroe
    Fun stuff from the outer reaches of the football world!
    Fun stories from the lesser know corners of the football world, a nice balance to the global gazzilionaire playground.

    5-Star Pod
    Never ceases to tickle my urge to travel while simultaneously spreading stories about the beautiful game. From Saint Pierre and Miquelon to Nauru, Lee and Paul never disappoint with their comprehensive coverage. PS: My Pohnpei kit is a favorite among my collection. Up the Sweeper Pod !

    A Beautifully Unique Pod
    Just recently found this podcast and I must say it’s quickly become one of my favorites. There are 100’s of soccer podcasts out there but only one that discusses the wonderfully niche subjects that these guys talk about. I find their discussions of smaller leagues around the world a million times more interesting and entertaining than all the others that only touch on the top 5 leagues. Thank you guys and keep up the amazing work. Love from Nebraska ❤️

    This pod is brilliant
    I love learning about as much about the minutiae of the game as I can! You’re brilliant. Thanks for teaching me all the way in Massachusetts! Continued successes!

    Refreshing Podcast
    As someone who tries to watch as much “random” football as possible, I love this so much, I’m glad I found this pod as it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s refreshing to hear about different teams and leagues from all over the world!

    Geek's dream pod
    If you're anything like me who loves oddities of soccer for their own beautiful sake, there is simply no better podcast.
  • Peter Rees
    Great football podcast from outside the big leagues
    I really enjoyed this podcast on the lesser-known football leagues and competitions from around the world. The presenters continually find interesting and funny stories and anecdotes, and it’s a great listen on football stories I wouldn’t hear or read about anywhere else.

    A fun, different perspective on football
    So much coverage of football is focused on the top leagues but it’s refreshing to hear stories from so many other leagues around Europe and the world. Following football is more exciting when perspectives, stories, and news isn’t solely about the prem, la liga, seria a, etc.

    Fascinating and fun
    I live in the USA and mostly see and read coverage of Europe’s Big 5. This podcast is a fun and fascinating look at football in all of the other European countries. Check it out!

    Great coverage
    So much coverage for the larger leagues it’s great to learn about the others.
