    Ep 2: Goalscorer
    Nov 10 2022

    If you want to win football matches then scoring plenty of goals usually helps. But does having the tournament’s top goalscorer mean you are guaranteed silverware? A look at recent history would suggest it may not be clear cut.

    This is Gary’s chance to defend the art of the goalscorer and explain the mentality needed to be the very best. Meanwhile Cesc wonders whether England might need to do the unthinkable and drop Harry Kane if they want to lift the trophy.

Honesty in every episode!

At first I thought why is Gary on this podcast? but having listened to it, I wish I was Gary's friend, he is open, honest, funny, and a great podcast host. Cesc is a great sidekick, and they make a great partnership.
I think they could have done a second season, and followed the latest world cup too.
