Hosted by Danny Pinto, “The Seleção Podcast†is an English-language soccer/football podcast covering the Portuguese National Team, the 2016 European and inaugural UEFA Nations League Champions.
The Seleção Podcast is a must-listen for fans of the Portuguese national team. As someone who has been a fan of the seleção for quite some time, I have always struggled to find media coverage in English that provides in-depth analysis and insights. However, this podcast fills that void perfectly. Hosted by Danny Pinto, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the team and national team football in general, this podcast offers premier guests and detailed match and roster breakdowns. Each episode leaves me feeling more informed and excited about the future of the team.
One of the best aspects of The Seleção Podcast is the caliber of guests that are featured on the show. From journalists to former players and coaches, Danny always brings on experts who provide valuable insights into the Portuguese national team. This adds depth to each episode and helps fans gain a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes. Additionally, Danny's own knowledge and passion for the seleção shines through in every episode, making it an enjoyable listen for both casual fans and those looking to delve deeper into Portuguese football.
While there aren't many negative aspects to point out about this podcast, one minor criticism is that occasionally the episodes can feel slightly repetitive. Certain topics may be discussed more than once or different guests may touch on similar points. Nevertheless, this doesn't detract significantly from my overall enjoyment of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Seleção Podcast is an invaluable resource for fans of Portuguese football who want comprehensive coverage in English. It fills a gap in media coverage and provides a platform for fans to stay informed about their favorite team. With its knowledgeable host and high-caliber guests, this podcast never fails to deliver insightful analysis and an engaging listening experience. I highly recommend subscribing to The Seleção Podcast for any fan of Portuguese soccer.
