The Korean Football Podcast

EP 19 | 50 Days Until the World Cup

Kevin and Steve are back with cool heads to review the state of the national team and measure how badly Korea ought to take their losses during March's international break. Where does Korea go from here? How did it go so wrong? It's too late to realistically expect dramatic changes, but do we need to consider such drastic measures? We looked so good in September - how could things be so different months later? Steve also reviews the most recent Joao Aroso controversy, and clarifies where frustrations lie with the media mishap.

A former World Cup-winning captain for France, Lloris spoke to us about how he developed his leadership qualities, which started in 2012 when Laurent Blanc appointed him as the national team captain at age 23. Lloris went on to lead France as the captain until 2022. At club level, he skippered Tottenham from 2022 to 2023. Now 39, Lloris also talked about the "bust-up" between him and his longtime teammate Son Heung-min in 2020.
