Customer Reviews
Franca is 🔥🔥🔥
Ok but where has this kind of futbol content been? Love what you’re doing!
The MOST intellectual
The value that Franca gives to her listeners on this podcast is truly unmatchable. The ability to critically analyze fútbol from an intellectual, political and social lens is a gift that no one has, and especially not like her. This is not only the best podcast a footy lover like me could ever hope for, but the best podcast ever PERIOD. Everyone should be willing to Denounce Neutrality™️ + Bias their Fútbol Content™️ — you’ll be glad you did, I guarantee it!
