El Cholo. All black everything. Black shirt, black tie…

Match Day 25
Antoine Griezmann is a #19. He holds the ball up like a hulking #9 and playmakes between the lines like a #10.
Shot out to IBWM on the background.

Match Day 24
I already miss my first sips of coffee at kickoff with Jorge Perez-Navarro yelling “It’s soooccccer timeeeeeeee.”
I already miss William Carvalho trotting around Portugal’s midfield with a Ballon d’Or worthy stache’
And I already miss Saturday morning pickup soccer. When the World Cup hums on in the background of our lives, we all play with an extra bit of pep.

Match Day 23
Impossible to not write a poem about The Legend of Modrić. Also, Luka could pass for a real life Link.

Match Day 17
We’ve spoken about podcasts before here at F&G. But since then the football podcast universe has expanded like Thanos‘ greed.
The perennial players – The Football Ramble, The Totally Football Show, and others remain. But the Rabona podcast, hosted by Musa Okwonga and Michael Da Silva is like a poetry reading and a pub chat fell in love.

Match Day 9
We’re in full World Cup mode now.

Stoppage Time
Fox! Get Jorge Perez-Navarro a private jet. Or a helicopter. Or a Star Trek transporter. He should be calling EVERY match.
That is all.

Match Day 7
Musa. Musa. Musa.

Match Day 6.
A slim chance remains.
