I did it sitheads...I watched all 64 games of the Qatar 2022 World Cup live, and this, the final, was the crescendo, the cherry on top of what has been a delectable football cake. Argentina are deserved victors, and to them go the spoils of this remarkable story which culminates in the best player to ever play, winning the only trophy that has escaped him in his career.In this episode, I laboured, hungover, tired, drained from an engrossing final and an enchanting tournament, chatting b...

Howdy friends! On todays MSP I chatted about the Melbourne Derby debacle, and a bit about FIFA and how they suck, based on the Netflix doc I just got around to watching.I then chatted about the 3/4th play off which saw Croatia become the 11th European nation in a row to come third in the World Cup, seeing of darlings of the tournament Morocco, in what was a fairly unenjoyable match.This of course precedes my preview of this evening's WORLD CUP FINAL! We finally made it, the promised land. I d...

The Qatar 2022 World Cup Final has been set, a somewhat inevitable PSG derby between Mbappe and Messi will come to pass, but today is all about the valiant Morocco, going down to the world champions today with their heads held high.I chatted about the game, France's tactics, why this Morocco run has been so important, and finally, why this 3/4 playoff might be the best game of the entire tournament.4 episodes to go in the World Cup special episodes of MSP; don't miss ANY!

I'm in rare form guys. Today, obviously, I ripped into what happened as Argentina dispatched Croatia with aplomb, and broke down what went wrong for the Cros, and why Argentina seems so elevated by glorious purpose in this competition.We also chat toxic football fandom comparing players illogically, recontextualise Moroccan ethnicity, preview the upcoming match v France, and explain why the A-League(s?) has become an arbitrary pluralisation, as informed by one of my listeners!Y'all should mes...

A break in the action means today's episode covers a lot of arbitrary sh%t, including the A-League(s?) decision to put all the finals in Sydney forever, whether Kylian Mbappe is an asshole, whether we should give a flying f@#k if Ronaldo cries, and why I am better than Stan Sports.I then ranked the potential outcomes in this World Cup from least to most favourable (in my occasionally, surprisingly, humble opinion) and do a little preview of the upcoming Croatia v Argentina clash!Leave m...

The full semi final bracket is set! Morocco's fairytale continued as they defeated Portugal and are still yet to concede a goal to an opposition player in this tournament, while France beat England to send them, not it, coming home.I discussed the matches, the fallouts, Messi's rage, why I don't think I will/probably still will keep making predictions in this wild tournament, and so much more.Also my delirium (I've now watched 60 damn matches) sleep deprivation and COVID upturn have me silly....

The predictions of myself (and the world) were flipped upside down when Croatia slayed the monolith that WAS Brazil, vanquishing Neymar's boys on penalties. They set up a date with Leo's Argentina who (somewhat more predictably, but not by me) defeated a game Netherlands in a proper grudge match, which saw a lot of elbows, forearms, shoves and dives.Forgive the intermittent cuts where I had to blow my nose, and when I said "definding" instead of defining. I still have COVID. And we still...

The COVID got me good guys so a short episode today, wherein I discussed Halilodzic and his failed World Cup hopes, Ghana and Cameroon players having to pay to be called up, and a bunch of other tidbits.That's all before previewing the first two Quarter Final matches being Brazil v Croatia and Netherlands v Argentina. I don't plan on getting any more predictions wrong in this tournament, fyi.Let me know your thoughts x

Yet another gloaty episode today folks as the most overrated nation in this tournament are sent packing by the supremely talented Morocco, who triumph in a very one sided penalty shootout after a fairly morbid match.Elsewhere, my prediction that Portugal v Switzerland would be boring as bat shit was turned on its head by Fernando Santos' unlikely decision to bench Cristiano. Before we chew into that, I briefly discussed the Brazil dancing controversy, and my pick for the WORST ad of the ...

A sad day for Asia as Japan and South Korea bow out in contrasting fashion. The Group of Death toppers took the fight to Croatia and almost came out on top, but were simply terrible in the penalty shootout and will be going home with their heads very very high. Meanwhile, the Koreans received first hand information about how f&$ked every team that isn't Brazil are. The World Champions elect put on a clinic and Croatia will be shaking in their picnic themed socks at the prospect of fa...
