Steve was rejoined by Guardian football writer and Guardian Football Weekly cohost Barry Glendenning to preview Greece traveling to play Ireland in the Nations League Matchday 2.

The European Championships are in full swing not only on the pitch but off it too. In Part 1, we pick out three themes from the opening stages of the tournament in Germany that have made us laugh: food wars, culture craziness & online polls/searches. Tune in to find out which country at EURO 2024 has the best national dish, who is empirically speaking the sexiest of the 24 head coaches, why Niklas Füllkrug has the best ‘Personal life' section on Wikipedia and why Ralf Rangnick has taken the Austria squad to a Rod Stewart concert in Berlin.   The focus is on club football in Part 2, with three amazing stories from Portugal, Japan and Iceland. Why could a Santa Clara player's tattoo to commemorate winning the Portuguese second division prove to be premature? How has a university team managed to pull off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Emperor's Cup in Japan? And will lower-league Icelandic club FC Reynir, who are based at the foot of a volcano, get the home cup tie they have been dreaming of for 30 years?   For Part 3 and some international football headlines from three other continents, join us over on Patreon at patreon.com/SweeperPod. Why is 16-year-old Bolivian wonderkid Moisés Paniagua unable to travel to the Copa America in the United States? What emotional moment of unity took place at the world's newest international football derby between Sudan and South Sudan? And why has Singapore's 40-year-old goalkeeper Hassan Sunny had to beg Chinese football fans to stop sending him money?   RUNNING ORDER: 00:00 – Intro 00:40 – EURO 2024 – Christmas for adults 03:40 – EURO 2024 culture craziness 07:02 – EURO 2024 food wars 11:15 – EURO 2024 online polls & searches 15:57 – Guest podcast appearances 17:52 – A tattoo mishap in Portugal 22:01 – A university upset in Japan 27:29 – An Icelandic village dream 34:53 – Listener emails   Podcast guest appearances: Lee on The Totally Show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6npASOQ1BZPvYYFpnb4ssE Paul on Guardian Football Weekly: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2uu1QCQC1vH2ISK8euq8kj Lee on The Window: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4tPj0TvQ5NQfN6CcQPDOCA Paul on World of CONCACAF: https://open.spotify.com/episode/24hiIr0iqUW7MSEKGnY5ol

It's Lesbian Visibility Week and in a collision of collaborations, the Football v Homophobia Podcast is again partnering with Sports Media LGBT+ - this time to talk about Studs AND Huns FC! Representing Studs is sports producer Becky Taylor-Gill, who launched the digital channel / collective back in 2019 ahead of the Women's World Cup. Studs' quirky and often queer-eyed takes on football culture have helped it build a loyal, like-minded following. One of the places they are most active is Instagram, where you can also find Huns FC, whose co-founder Flo Lloyd-Hughes can often be heard on The Athletic, Guardian Football Weekly and BBC London Sport. Sharing anything huntastic from the WSL, NWSL and further afield - sometimes with WaG energy thrown in too - it's the account that's always serving in our feed. Studs and Huns FC are uniting to put on a Queer After Party following the Euros opener at Old Trafford on July 6 so they joined Jon Holmes from Sports Media LGBT+ to chat about that club night and their groups; their careers in the industry to date; why they wanted to celebrate the culture of women's football; the story behind Studs' iconic ‘They're lesbians, Stacey' T-shirts; and why visibility can sometimes be a tricky path to follow for LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people in the game. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

Swingende tribunes, vliegende tackels en heroïsche overwinningen: de Afrika Cup in Kameroen is in volle gang! Vanuit Nederland hebben we ons suf gelachen om een scheidsrechter die tot twee keer toe binnen reguliere tijd affluit, maar er is zoveel meer te beleven op dit fantastische voetbalfeest. Onze trouwe luisteraars denken nu: “Arend-Jan Boekestijn zou toch te gast zijn? Heeft hij ook al verstand van voetbal?”, De redactie heeft hier geïntervenieerd en besloten dat een Africast zonder Afrika Cup aflevering geen optie was. Daarom gaan we het volgende week hebben over geopolitiek, zodat we ons vandaag kunnen focussen op de belangrijkste bijzaak van de wereld. Omdat het de Africast is en niet de Guardian Football Weekly, gaan we natuurlijk ook in op culturele elementen die achter het toernooi schuil gaan. Vandaag schuift bij ons aan sportcommentator Onno Hansum, die ons alles gaat vertellen over dit mooie toernooi en aan het einde hebben we nog een extra special guest, die ooit zelf heeft meegespeeld op de Africa Cup!

There’s literally never a dull day at Southampton FC. A podcasting dream! With Mark Hughes having exited stage left earlier this week, Ralph Hasenhüttl, the ex-Ingolstadt and RB Leipzig Head Coach, has taken over in the St. Mary’s hot seat. To reflect on the Austrian’s South Coast arrival, TSP regulars Ben Stanfield (Host), Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Daily Echo) and Steve Grant (Owner of SaintsWeb), are joined by Fresh Press UK Football Content Executive, and massive Saints fan, Luke Osman. Providing even more informed opinion on Hasenhüttl, FoxSoccer and Guardian Football Weekly journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt, and AIPS Media Bundesliga specialist Chris Williams, also drop by.

Part of Guardian Football Weekly and deputy sports editor at The Guardian in the UK, Barry very kindly dropped in for a chat while he was on holiday in Australia.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… It is a dark time for football podcasts… Although Mark Lawrenson has been destroyed, the mainstream media have driven the independent broadcasters from their online platforms and pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the Guardian Football Weekly, a group of individuals claiming to be freedom fighters and led by James Richardson have established a new podcast which is basically exactly the same but which will bring in even more money for the mainstream media types. Whilst it is not in our interest to reject this assumption, throughout the summer months, our heroes have continued with their weekly football podcast which answers the questions that no one is asking and certainly no one is paying for. By slowly covering in depth all twenty teams in the Premier League, our little band of rebels have managed to capture a little corner of the football podcast market. But now, with the Great Podcast War of 2017 entering its bitterest period of fighting, they have chosen once again to buck the trends of mainstream journalism and chart a potentially disastrous course… they have chosen to return to their in season format and risk ruining all the good work they have achieved. Welcome to A Totally of John O’Sheas Season Two, a series which we are calling A New Hope…
