The Italian Football Podcast is an absolute gem for anyone who follows Serie A and wants to stay updated with the latest news and analysis. As someone in the United States, I rely on ESPN+ to watch matches, but this podcast provides the professional commentary that truly enhances my understanding of the league. Although I wish they would broadcast more frequently, their once weekly episodes are still exciting to listen to. One of the standout features of this podcast is the commentators' perfect English, making it easy for international listeners like myself to follow along.
The best aspect of The Italian Football Podcast is undoubtedly the knowledge, insight, and passion brought by each of the three hosts: John, Nima, and Chole. They cover topics that span across the entire league, not just focusing on popular teams like Juventus and AC Milan. This inclusivity is what sets them apart from other Serie A podcasts and makes it a great example of what football podcasts should be. Their well-informed discussions provide different perspectives that balance each other out, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
However, there is one minor drawback to this podcast that some listeners may find annoying. Chloe's audio tends to be much louder than Nima's, which can make it difficult to listen with earbuds or headphones. This issue disrupts the flow when one moment Nima is speaking softly about Piatek and then Chloe's response comes blasting through. It would greatly enhance the overall quality if they could balance out the volume levels between all three hosts.
In conclusion, The Italian Football Podcast is hands down one of the best Serie A podcasts available. Their deep dive into each week's drama in the league offers informative yet entertaining content without unnecessary bells or whistles. The fact that all three hosts have favorite clubs but don't dominate the conversation with them demonstrates their dedication to covering every team in Serie A. As someone looking to get more involved in Italian football, this podcast has become an essential part of my routine, and I eagerly anticipate its growth throughout the season. The Italian Football Podcast is a must-listen for any football enthusiast, whether they are Serie A fans or simply interested in the beautiful game.
Italy will now almost certainly be in the World Cup 2026 playoffs as it is virtually impossible to overtake Norway in their qualifying group. Carlo Garganese looks ahead to the playoffs draw on November 21, how it works, the seedings, possible opponents, teams to avoid, dates, what team and formation Rino Gattuso should pick for the Azzurri, and whether or not Italy will qualify or miss out on a third straight World Cup.
