Podcast w/@theodelaney: Well known football fans relive the goals of their lives "Brilliant" - The Times, "Special" - New Statesman, "Unmissable" - Radio Times
Recently crowned SJA Sports Journalist of the Year for the second time in three years, @AdamCrafton_ is @theodelaney's brilliant guest on the latest pod (out Monday). Before the end he had some very kind words for the show with shout outs for @TheDesKelly and @JNorthcroft 🙏🏻
Coffee and a good catch-up with my fellow @FOXSports 🇺🇸 @FIFAWorldCup commentator @IanDarke before we fly out next week. ✈️ 🎙️
We covered prep (tech gadgets 💻 v handwritten ✍🏻 match notes 🤓), packing (he now knows all about the clothes steamer 💨 😝), hot World Cups (Ian did USA 🇺🇸 ‘94 🥵), VAR and plenty more.
Almost finished packing - now for more prep (always) and some squeezes with the family before Monday ✈️ 🇲🇽
Over the next few World Cup weeks I'm giving some talks around the UK, about Trump, FIFA, and how football explains politics, money and power... links in thread.

Gabriel Batistuta, Yaya Touré, Cristiano Ronaldo and Shirley Bassey are among the cast of the absorbing new Life Goals pod with @TheAthleticFC's @AdamCrafton_, Sports Journalist of the Year. And that's just Part one! Part two next Monday. #footballpodcast https://t.co/dy051NBw0w
Tim Vickery is one of the very best broadcasters around. Knowledgeable, insightful, eloquent and fun. Really enjoyed having this World Cup debate with Tim. We discussed Tuchel, Ancelotti, Southgate, Capello and much much more.
Sweden got rid of VAR.
They heard what everyone connected with the sport had to say about it and ruled, "OK. It's gone."
That will NEVER happen here because the bureaucratic ruling football hierarchy pretend they can't hear what paying public think.
We don't matter.
Bravo Sweden
@Saint_Alastair If you listen to Andy Burnham's @LifeGoalsTD episode, it will confirm what you say. Genuine love of football and music (and talks about that 84 semi final that still haunts us)
