Portuguese Football in English
Barney & Albert are back after the international break with a bumper episode of the Long Ball Futebol podcast.
With so many important results at the weekend, we analyse every fixture from Jornada 28 as Braga beat Benfica, and wins for Arouca, Tondela, B-SAD and Vizela have a massive impact on the relegation battle, whilst Moreirense are in danger of being left behind after a loss to Vitória leaves them bottom of the table.
In Episode 60 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Tom Kundert of PortuGOAL.net.
They take a look back at the Seleção’s road to Qatar via the playoff, analyse Portugal’s World Cup draw and discuss what the Seleção needs to figure out with their roster between now and the start of the tournament in November.
Portugal are World Cup Bound!!!
In Episode 59 of the Seleção podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Marc Lewis, a football commentator for ESPN.
They review Portugal’s 2-0 victory over North Macedonia at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto that clinched the Seleção’s place in Qatar.
In Episode 58 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Filip Mishov, a freelance sports journalist from Macedonia, to preview the World Cup playoff final between Portugal and North Macedonia taking place on 29 March at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto.
Danny and Filip discuss what Macedonia has been like in the days following their historic 1-0 victory against Italy in their World Cup playoff semi-final in Palermo.
Filip also talks about which Macedonian players Portugal should pay attention to, what the Seleção can expect from Macedonia, and what North Macedonia qualifying for the World Cup for the first time would mean for the country.
In Episode 57 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by PortuGOAL’s Seleção correspondent Nathan Motz as they take a look back at Portugal’s 3-1 victory against Turkey in their World Cup playoff semi-final at the Estádio do Dragão.
Danny and Nathan also discuss the surprising starting XI that Fernando Santos picked for the Turkey match and how that may look different with Pepe (possibly) and João Cancelo (assuredly) back for the playoff final versus North Macedonia, and a host of other issues surrounding Portugal’s national football team.
