Talking Tactics

As the decade comes to an end, Talking Tactics discuss the 2010s. Starting with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and going through the years until present day.

There were many events, too many to name, but to pick a few: Mourinho's Inter treble, Chelsea's 2012 miracle, MSN, Real Madrid taking four Champions League titles in five years, Steven Gerrard's slip, Brazil's 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Germany, Leicester City winning the Premier League, Neymar being sold for €222m, and many more. We also create the "Talking Tactics XI of the Decade."

If we missed any moments, games, players, or anything you think we should've talked about, tweet them to us (link below), and we'll share them!

Talking Tactics are joined by Paul Ansorge (of the United Rant) to discuss gambling in football. How the gambling industry operates in daily life in the United Kingdom, how it affects different people differently, and the extent to which gambling has embedded itself into British culture. The conclusion asking: Is its presence ultimately harmful? If so, does it need to be reversed, and could it be reversed even if people wanted it to be?

Talking Tactics Episode 50 was taken down for copyright reasons, but there was an important segment in the show we've always intended to re-post; one regarding black footballers, and incidents of cardiac arrest.

Recorded the day after the death of former Ivory Coast international and Newcastle United star Cheick Tioté (aged 30), Carl and Daniel spoke about why we see these incidents, and why they happen with particular consistencies.

Nigerian footballer Isaac Promise (aged 31) passed away this Wednesday due to a cardiac related incident, and spurred the motivation to re-post this segment of our show.

Our condolences to the families of athletes (both the well-known and the not so well-known) who have passed due to heart failure, and hopefully from this small conversation you are inspired/encouraged to do more research on the topic.
