The Futbol Americas podcast is hands down the best show and podcast for all things related to North American soccer. It is informative, fun, and just all around awesome.

Seb and Herc, the hosts of the podcast, do a phenomenal job of conveying a wealth of football knowledge and perspective to newer fans.

They provide insightful analysis, discuss player performances, and delve into tactical aspects of the game. Their bilingual aspect is also incredibly refreshing to see on this platform as it adds an inclusive element to their coverage.
Furthermore, The Futbol Americas podcast stands out from other soccer shows due to its fearless approach in highlighting Latino voices.

While The Futbol Americas podcast has many strengths, there are a few minor downsides worth mentioning. Occasionally, some episodes can feel slightly disorganized or lack structure.
