History of Football in the USA

If he was a spider, he'd be a Daddy Long Legs

This is our pre and post match episode covering the build up and recovery from the Scotland match versus Brazil. Once more, we see Nick cast a critical eye over proceedings and make some informed decisions about performance and scoreline; whereas, we see Steven romanticise Scotland's chances in a sort of tartan fever dream. Ultimately, Steven has all the accuracy of a badger wearing a built up shoe.

When Uzbekistan tried to take on the footballing world

This episode was recorded after most teams had played their 2nd matches, and crucially, before Scotland had played Brazil. It's hard to squeeze these recordings in because the matches come thick and fast and we are often a) forced to rerecord as we spend so much time crying over the Scotland results, b) laughing at how dreadful my (Steven) predictions are and c) sidetracked by pesky things like kids, jobs etc

History of Football in Canada (Series 3, Ep 3)

We continue our exploration of the history of football across the 2026 home nations. The Scots...as always, are heavily involved in the creation of the game and the Canadians took the sport to their heart. In this episode we learn about men with big mustaches, the chaotic 1904 Olympic Games and the 'porridge eating invincibles' from Canada who went on to win the gold medal. We also learnt about how ice hockey went on to dominate and football would be lost on the Canadians for decades.

I've seen this film before...there's a love scene, a car chase and then all we need to do is get a result against Brazil! (Series 4 Ep 3)

Like our podcast around the Haiti game, this pod is split into pre and post match sections. Nick called the team selection correctly and was far more accurate in his scoreline prediction as well. As Nick appears to be a footballing Svengali, I for one, would like him to predict an upset against the Brazillians...from his lips to God's ears!

It's a bit 'Blair Witch Project' (Series 4 Ep2)

The 2nd episode in our coverage of FIFA World Cup 2026. In Episode 1, e travelled as part of the Tartan Army to Boston to watch Scotland struggle to a 1-0 victory over Haiti. Still, a win is a win and we were grateful for the 3 points. In this episode, we look through the opening set of fixtures to discuss who caught our eye and to review the England performance against Croatia.
