On Episode 105, host Danny Pinto is joined by Matthew Marshall of PortuGOAL.net, who was in attendance covering both Seleção victories in Armenia and Hungary to kickoff World Cup qualification for Portugal.

Danny and Matthew covered a variety of topics in this episode:

  • Portugal's ability to come back and win multiple matches under Roberto Martínez (3 of their last 4 wins have been comebacks)
  • the reintegration of the João's: Cancelo and Felíx
  • Martínez's continuing to tinker with the Starting XI
  • the perceived joy and lack of pressure Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be playing with now as Portugal Captain


Matthew also gives his thoughts on FPF President Pedro Proença, the U17 and U21 programs for Portugal, and also shares his mission of attending matches in as many Portuguese stadiums all over Portugal, Azores, and more.
