K League 1 enters its mid-season hiatus following last weekend's Round 15 fixtures. Matt, Paul and Alex take a look back at the action and give their takes and thoughts from the commentary booth. The second half of the podcast then looks to Hong Myung-bo's recently announced 2026 World Cup Squad for Korea and assesses the six call-ups from K League and why they were considered for the flight. This podcast is proudly sponsored by Record Pizza and TNT FC.

Football chooses us. We chase its highs. And one day… the game ends. Host Ryan Walters sits with players seconds from a World Cup Final as their careers flash before their eyes. Matches, milestones, moments, mistakes, people. This is football in full life, in full vision. This is Tunnel Vision. In this first-ever episode, Ryan sits down with Dejan Damjanovic, the Montenegrin striker who became a legend 10,000 miles from home. A three-time K League 1 champion, AFC Champions League all-time top scorer, and K League Hall of Famer, Dejan built one of Asian football's greatest careers. They dive into his years at FC Seoul, the penalty miss that still haunts him, an unforgetable night at Wembley, the title season with "the best team with the worst coach," the transfer FC Seoul fans never forgave, and what it felt like hearing an entire stadium sing his name in a language he didn't grow up speaking. Raw, funny, and brutally honest, this is the full story of a champion who always found a way to win.
Matt is in the studio solo once more for another short recap edition but, fear not, as Alex and Paul are on hand to assist with their post-match thoughts from the commentary booth on all the Round 14 action.

Today, Laird and Harry Trades dive deep into the latest Sorare survey and our early predictions for Sorare 27. Sorare is exploring a new dynamic: reward boosts for using higher scarcity cards in lower scarcity competitions. We discuss what this means for gallery utility and market values.In this episode, we break down:• Scarcity Reward Boosts: Is entering a Limited competition with Rare cards going to be the new meta? We analyze the potential "pay-to-win" vs. "utility-boost" balance.• Hot Streaks vs. Leaderboards: With J League, K League, and MLS leading the way in separate gameplay modes, will this split become the permanent standard for all of Sorare Pro?• The "Set" Influence: Sorare Set introduced levels, lives, and instant progression. Could these mobile-first mechanics—like "releasing" players mid-Game Week—actually make their way into the Pro ecosystem?• Market Strategy: How to prep your gallery now before these dynamics are officially confirmed.Whether you're a high-stakes Unique manager or a Limited grinder, these changes will redefine how we play.Join the Laird Social Club:Get exclusive data, strategy sheets, and Discord access by joining the Patreon: https://patreon.com/andrewmlaird#Sorare #Sorare27 #FantasyFootball #NFTGaming #SorareStrategy

Ishida Masatoshi is a modern-day cult hero at Daejeon Hana Citizen, a real fan favourite and someone who is looked to in order to conjure something from nothing, a magician of sorts. K League United sat down with Masa for an exclusive interview at the end of September to talk about life at Daejeon.
A lot has happened since K League United first interviewed Pohang Steelers striker Lee Ho-jae. He suffered a long-term injury, came back stronger than ever, earned his first national team call-up, made his Korea debut, and even scored his first goal for the Taeguk Warriors. Now, he's in the hunt for the K League 1 golden boot. Paul caught up with him to see how he's getting on.
The latest edition in our summer long-form interview collection takes Andrew Farrell down to his local club, FC Anyang, to meet Dutch defender and Violet hero, Thomas Oude Kotte. Thomas Oude Kotte has taken the K League by storm. Signed from Roda JC in January, Thomas has become a stalwart in the Anyang rearguard during their first-ever season in Korea's top flight. So good has Thomas been, that when Newcastle United came to Suwon to face K League All-Stars, the number 55 received a call-up and played 80+ minutes. Thomas tells Andrew about growing up in football-crazed Netherlands, the influence on the domestic game from some of football's greatest minds, his surprising move to Anyang, his favored position, and what the future holds.
