• Long Ball podcast

The Long Ball Futebol podcast is back after a brief hiatus for the World Cup, and what a week to come back, with one of the biggest games in the Primeira Liga to discuss, the Lisbon Derby.

Barney & Albert dissect the 2-2 draw at the Estadio da Luz at the weekend, whether Sporting are showing signs of improvement, and whether Benfica are quite as imperious as they looked before the World Cup.

There’s also discussion of Porto and Braga as they gratefully take the opportunity to gain ground on the league leaders, and Paços de Ferreira who become the first club to experience a ‘new manager bounce’ with their old manager. 

In episode 76 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Ritwik Sarkar of “Breaking The Lines” to discuss the hiring of Roberto Martínez as Portugal’s next manager.

Danny and Ritwik delve into Martínez’s 6.5 years as Belgium’s manager, compare his tenure to that of Fernando Santos with the Seleção, and share their thoughts on the overall lukewarm response to the hire.

Also up for discussion is João Félix’s loan move from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea. 

In episode 75 of the Seleção podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Tom Kundert and Nathan Motz from PortuGOAL.net.

The trio discuss Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabia and their disappointment in the decision, the end of the Fernando Santos era and who might be the next Portugal manager, and they honour Pele who passed away earlier this week. 

Join PortuGOAL’s Matthew Marshall and Tom Kundert as they discuss Portugal’s 1-0 defeat to Morocco in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, the futures of Pepe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Santos, the media and more thoughts about Qatar.
