The Football Sack

Smithy, Jez and Aaron wrap up an action-packed World Cup Final, hand out some awards, discuss their best eleven from the cup and re-visit their pre-tournament predictions!

England are going home, but football is not going with them, as Smithy, Jeremy and Aaron dissect Croatia's slow but sure victory. The trio also discuss France's win over Belgium and preview the final, while Aaron goes all Michael Scott on the teams who have already been eliminated #BoomRoasted

Smithy, Jeremy and Aaron prepare football's homecoming party, because England are obviously nailed on to win it from here, right? The trio also discuss whether they'd be brave enough to step up in a penalty shootout and preview the final four, while Aaron decides he's going to try and offend as many teams as possible.

Smithy, Louis and Aaron discuss the bizzaro world we currently find ourselves in, one where England have won a penalty shootout at a major tournament. The lads sadly wave goodbye to Mexico and preview the quarter finals.

Smithy, Jez and Aaron tear into an insipid Spanish performance, drool over Kylian Mbappe and inevitably, discuss Ronaldo's fixation with his quads.

Louis, Stu and Sean return to the studio to wrap up the group stage and preview the Round of 16!

It's a dark day in the studio, as Smithy, Az and Jez and mourn the Socceroos exit and ponder where we went wrong (Hint: It had nothing to do with Tim Cahill). Meanwhile, the boys discuss Argentina's great escape while Smithy needles Aaron over South Korea.

Smithy returns to the pod to join Louis and Jez to debate whether Panama are the worst World Cup team in the history of the competition, while the boys also look ahead to the Socceroos' do-or-die clash with Peru.

Despite Smithy's absence, the boys, much like the Socceroos, are still alive. Jez and Aaron dissect Australia's latest result against the Great Danes, while Croatia leave Louis satisfied and sleep deprived.

Smithy, Louis, Sean and Jez discuss the Socceroos' gallant loss to France, while Louis waxes lyrical about the game of the tournament (so far) between Spain and Portugal. Meanwhile, Sean eats humble pie after last week's claim and goes studs-in on the VAR.

Our World Cup podcast for Russia! Ben, Louis, Sean and Aaron worship Australia's new lord and saviour Daniel Arzani, discuss which footballers would star in a Zoolander remake and lament the lack of Leroy Sane in Russia. Plus, Sean makes a bold claim about the host nation which may or may not see him on Putin's hit list. 

The countdown to the Russia 2018 World Cup is underway! Ben, Louis, Stu and Jez take to the studio to discuss the Socceroos' chances of hoisting the trophy following their victory over a powerhouse Czech Republic side, ponder the possibility of a Mo Salah vs Sergio Ramos Royal Rumble and try on some VAR-induced tinfoil hats.

The Football Sack World Cup Podcast comes to an end with jokes coming in faster than Ben Halloran! With Mark Birighitti and Andrew Nabbout stopping by we also wrap up the real SBS Social Hub before presenting the best bloopers this side of Christ the Redeemer. Thanks for joining us in 2014!

ABC's Tom Greenard and the Radio TAB's James Clark join a host of other guests as the podcast is recorded in front of a live audience!

We reluctantly reflect on the snoozefest that was Netherlands vs Argentina. May that game never be mentioned again. 

The boys are joined by former Big Brother resident and Breakfast Radio Host Michael Beveridge who explains the failings of the Brazilian team with real-life World of Warcraft examples.

The boys are podding on a non-match day, because Christian had too much wine to make it to Sunday's recording. Journalist Ray Gatt from The Australian joins us to share his experiences from Brazil. 

An amazing SBS Social Hub brings about new terminology.

The boys are joined by one of the biggest football fans in Super Rugby, Alexander Rokobaro who plays for Melbourne Rebels. Also includes the real SBS Social Hub.
