The Long Ball Futebol Podcast draws the curtain on the 2023/24 Primeira Liga season with their annual awards show. In a two-part special, Albert & Barney discuss the candidates and crown the winners of awards such as:
- Player of the Season
- Manager of the Season
- Young Player of the Season
In part two they explain their choices for team of the season, followed by the traditional discussion about who would be in a team of the season comprised of only players from outside the top 4 clubs.
In a marathon end-of-season review, Albert and Barney discuss the 2023/24 campaigns of every club in the Primeira Liga in a special podcast spanning two shows.
Part 1: What made Sporting Champions? What led to Benfica and Porto underachieving? Was it a good season for Braga?
Part 2: We head from Vitória in 5th place all the way down to Chaves in 18th and dissect how every team performed in Portugal’s top flight this season.
In Episode 85, host Danny Pinto is joined by Matthew Marshall of PortuGOAL.net to discuss Roberto Martínez’s roster selections for EURO 2024.
Danny and Matthew discuss which players had an argument to be part of the roster, Jorge Mendes and the amount of his clients making the roster, who may benefit most from being part of this squad, and much more.
Matthew joined us from Cyprus, where the U17 EUROs are currently taking place as the Seleção opened group play with a 2-1 victory over Spain.
