    Kate is awesome guys need to stop making it all about themselves
    I really hate the “let me tell you about myself for five minutes” so you can comment and make it sound like a question.
  • Padrejeb
    Really great listen ….
    Love the pod but truly cannot do anymore Gooner honks chit chat. Far too many arsenal fools on there early doors to keep my interest
  • McLema
    Ads are too loud!
    Love the content but the ads are so much louder than the actual content! Ad breaks are like a jump scare while I’m driving then I struggle to hear the actual conversation.
  • Striker2233
    Love the podcast
    The podcast is great love the games that you play like guess the goal scorer and guess the player
  • Pliny the Eldest
    Trash compared to ISWT
    CBS screwed this one up big time. Had a chance to grow the game and instead they put out this trash.
  • civil tongue
    Too Foul
    Wow nuthin but the f word.
  • PROZONE ATHLETIC
    5 Star
    No screaming no yelling just civil and interesting conversations. And a rock star for a host. US audience needs to hear more stories RE how the futbol world functions in Europe
  • JT_the 40th
    Fantastic Show!!!
    Great crew. Loved watching the chemistry during the games but this takes it to another level. Thierry Henry is the perfect first guest and already looking forward to the next guest. Hope to see him manage again in the MLS. Gotta hear more “locker room” stories though.
  • larochoe
    No Replacement for In Soccer We Trust
    I really hope this is not a permanent replacement for In Soccer We Trust. Lacks the connection and fun flow, feels too “big corporate show”. Hopefully they make the right decision and do not cancel In Soccer We Trust.
  • JPcrossbones
    Henry’s human side
    Loved listening to Thierry Henry talking about having to prove himself at Arsenal. And Charlie opening up about his childhood hit me in the feels. 10/10
  • ProfessionalFitness
    Solid content
    Easy fun listen.
  • NataCross
    Can’t wait for more episodes!!
    I’d listen if it was just Kate, Clint, Charlie and Mo. The big name guests are an added bonus!
  • Chewy louie
    Quality crew, quality guests
    This is the interview format I’ve been waiting for. Feels like friends hanging out.
