In this episode of It’s Called Soccer, Rebecca Lowe, Gary Neville, and Jamie Carragher dive into the week’s biggest football stories with special guest JJ Watt.

The show kicks off with a special moment as Jamie Carragher reacts to his son, James Carragher, scoring his first professional goal for Wigan Athletic. Jamie reflects on the emotions of watching his son follow in his footsteps and what it means for his career.

The discussion then turns to Tottenham's struggles, as their disastrous form continues and frustration among the fans reaches a boiling point.
