No Easy Games

It's the most farcical episode of No Easy Games yet - and that's a low bar considering we record a lot of them in an echoey changing room where we get interrupted by swearing, moody smokers and German techno. We're previewing Colombia's chances at this summer's tournament, but that only gets in the way of a tremendous cock-up on Aaron's part. Join us as we discuss nipple-pointing shirt stripes, horrific cub football copycat injuries and what it would be like if only one of us did the podcast because the other one has been an idiot. Contains some very very strong language. Theme music - Dirt by Jahzzar, provided under CC-BY SA Creative Commons License creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

Into group B now and a third trip to Argentina as we preview the 2019 Copa America. No trophies since 1993 - the clock is ticking for Lionel Messi to win his first international honour. Join us as we discuss Javier Saviola for far too long, getting on the beak and a pint of mates. Contains some strong language.

We close out Group A of the 2019 Copa America with another trip to Peru. After a first world cup appearance since 1982, backed by a fanatical support, how will they get on closer to home this summer? Join us as we discuss Pele's inability to add up, explain to Aaron the format of a competition and entrants that he's already talked about for three previous episodes and Hartlepool's superiority to Newcastle. Contains some strong language. Theme music - Dirt by Jahzzar, provided under CC-BY SA Creative Commons License creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

We continue with the previews of the 2019 Copa America with another trip to a brand new country. Venezuela have never appeared at a world cup finals and never won a Copa America, so this will be a joyous and optimistic affair. Join us as we discuss roller skating Christmases, Goodnight Sweetheart and the disadvantages of taking a free-kick in smelly gloves. Contains some strong language.

Our first new nation in our Copa America previews as we head to Bolivia. Neither of us have been in real life - and to be honest, we don't sell the place much here - but can they perform on the pitch this summer? Join us as we discuss beefy folded arms, unofficial prisoners and dancing like a llama. Contains some strong language.

After a week off for our Easter holidays (Aaron, of course, in Thailand - Tom near Southport), we're back and we begin the countdown to this Summer's 46th Copa America. The hosts are Brazil - and we're as sick of talking about them as you are. Join us as we discuss the return of Tite, Gary Lineker's wise career move and whether or not Aaron wants to roll out his Paralympic kidnapping story again. Contains some strong language.

We've reached our final episode of our preview of all 24 nations competing this summer at the women's World Cup. Our final team are Sweden - can they make their mark in France? Join us as we discuss the shit the Swedish coach must have seen, how little Aaron has paid attention to the format this series and falsely accuse politicians of incest. Contains some strong language.

Our penultimate episode previewing the women's World Cup takes us back to South America. Chile missed out on the men's World Cup but will look to make their mark on the women's world stage this summer. Join us as we discuss temporary teaching careers, affordable fines and domestic chickens. Contains some strong language.

No Easy Games doubles up as a travel diary as we head east to Thailand for the first time. Roving reporter Aaron forgets about his wife momentarily to file a report from his honeymoon as we preview their World Cup chances. Join us as we discuss top shagger t-shirts, formal driving attire and for some reason, Spencer Prior. Contains some strong language and a lazy dream/harp sound effect cliche.

Into our final group in our women's World Cup previews now - and they don't get any bigger in women's football than the USA. Three-time world champions America will head to France as the big favourites - but can they retain? Join us as we discuss ski jackets in Spring, skipping season two of Friday Night Lights and nonsensical sporting phrases like Final Four, Big Ten and third-tier All-American.
