“That kind of put soccer on my radar as a sport. I saw how deeply it meant to people, in a way I didn't appreciate prior to that. And then I was in London when the World Cup began, and I saw the opening match — Argentina and Cameroon, with Cameroon winning in an upset. Just the whole spectacle of it gave me an appreciation for the game.” — Brian Bunk, on Ireland, Italia '90, and the moment everything changed Not long now. Only seven days until the World Cup begins. Just enough time to read Brian D. Bunk's new The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport. History isn't Bunk with Brian. He looks a bit like Elton John, which is appropriate given that old Rocket Man was chairman of Watford and bankrolled the tiny English club to almost winning the league. Pop stars like Ed Sheeran (Ipswich) and Robert Plant (Wolves) love football, Bunk notes. Probably because it reminds them of where they came from. Bunk's thesis is that soccer's global dominance is not accidental. Born in the industrial communities of nineteenth-century England, the game gave workers a new identity, new evidence of their collective power, proof they'll never walk alone. That same logic explains why middle-aged men all over America religiously gather at their local bars to watch English teams with strange names like Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Such is religion in our globalised post-industrial age. “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that,” the great Liverpool manager Bill Shankly quipped. That's the shortest of short histories of football. What the working-class Shankly meant was that it gives us social meaning — which is, indeed, more historically significant than the life or death of a single individual. Or even God. Football saves our souls, Brian Bunk concurs with Bill Shankly. Enjoy the World Cup. Five Takeaways • Soccer Was Born in Industrial Communities for a Reason: The game emerged in industrial Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century not by accident but because industrialisation had shattered traditional community life. Mass migration to cities, technological disruption, the loss of familiar rhythms — all created a need for new kinds of identity and belonging. Soccer filled that need. It gave factory workers a team to follow, a ground to gather at, a shared identity that transcended ethnic and class lines. Bunk's argument: this community function is baked into the game itself, which is why it has replicated across every culture it has touched. • Why Americans Love the Premier League: Bunk identifies the 1990s as the pivotal decade for American soccer. The 1994 World Cup on home soil. The women's World Cup. The formation of MLS. The arrival of the FIFA video game. The Premier League broadcasting deals with ESPN and Fox. All of these combined and snowballed. Add to that the NFL owners investing in English clubs, the celebrity ownership wave (Ryan Reynolds, Elton John), and the cultural footprint of shows like Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham. The result: a generation of Americans for whom following the Premier League is a primary source of community. • Maradona: All the Contradictions of Football in One Man: Asked which historical match he would most want to attend, Bunk chooses Mexico City, June 1986: Argentina vs England. Not for the Hand of God goal — which was cheating — but for the second goal, the one where Maradona picked up the ball in his own half, went past five English players, and scored what is generally considered the greatest goal in the history of the game. Bryon Butler's BBC radio commentary: “turning like a little eel.” Andrew's verdict: if any single figure captures all the genius, joy, turbulence, and tragedy of football, it is Maradona. • The World Cup Returns to North America: In seven days, the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — the first time the tournament has returned to North America since the USA hosted in 1994. The timing of Bunk's book is deliberate. Soccer is more popular in America than at any point in history, and the home World Cup is the event that could push it into the first tier of American sports culture. The Premier League, MLS, women's soccer, and now the World Cup: the game's US footprint is larger than it has ever been. • Andrew's Game: Tottenham vs Benfica, April 1962: Andrew's own fantasy match, offered unprompted at the end: the first leg of the 1962 European Cup semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Benfica at the Est00e1dio da Luz in Lisbon on March 20, 1962, with Eusebio and Jimmy Greaves on the same pitch. Spurs lost 320131 on the night, went out 420132 on aggregate. Two clear penalties not given. Andrew's conclusion: had Spurs won that match, the history of European football — and possibly his own life — would have been different. He notes that he has a son, and that he should have called him Jimmy. About the Guest Brian D. Bunk is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he teaches courses on world history, modern Europe, and the global history of soccer. He is the author of The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport (The Experiment, June 2026), Beyond the Field: How Soccer Built Community in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2025), and From Football to Soccer: The Early History of the Beautiful Game in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2021).

In the end they had a four-point cushion, but Newport County certainly put their fans through wringer in avoiding relegation from the Football League. Two consecutive wins - for the first time this season, and both coming from behind - ensured their survival. How's that for grit and determination? But how can the club avoid another fight for survival next season? And will manager Christian Fuchs be around to build on his early promise?One goal was all that separated Wrexham from the Championship play-offs. They had their chances to beat Middlesbrough in the final game of the season, but the unrelenting rise up the divisions has come to a stop... for now. Is it inevitable, given the ambitions of the owners, that the club will reach the Premier League within the next three seasons?And after Sam brought down the curtain on a 20-year playing career on Saturday, he talks us through the emotions of his final appearance as a professional footballer...and how a 92-year-old Burnley fan made sure he was at Gillingham to say goodbye to his favourite player for the last time. It's "garden centres and school runs" for him now.

Eddie managed to embarrass himself in Barcelona, but should Arsenal and Atletico Madrid feel as if they were exposed by the football played by Bayern Munich and PSG? Eddie rarely comes to the defense of Mikel Arteta, but he does feel as if VAR made a mistake by overturning a late penalty for Arsenal. In the Premier League, the fixtures have allowed Arsenal to rebuild their lead at the top, and that could prove crucial. And Hull managed to pip Wrexham to the final playoff spot on a thrilling last day of the Championship season. Both Frank and Eddie agree that it is pointless to analyze NFL draft picks before a snap has been played, but the Arizona Cardinals did make a slightly head-scratching move. And 'The Rewatchables' podcast is great, but that doesn't make it perfect.

It's the end of the season and whatever people say, it HAS been a good one. Tim, Andy, Rhys and Liam look back at the Middlesbrough game and the chance we missed to reach the play offs.But then we look back at the season overall with the unofficial - and hastily arranged - FiD awards. We look at our player and young player of the season nominations, the surprise package and the most underwhelming star.We name the best goal of the season and the performance that made us say ‘yeah, we've arrived'. There's highlights, there's lowlights, there's surreal moments and our hot takes are, well, very hot and involve a shock Phil Parkinson move. We also look at the retained list and potential transfers. Phew, it's packed.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

The automatic promotion dream is over — but the play-offs are officially confirmed.In Episode 377 of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to look back on a dramatic 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town at St Mary's. A result that did little for either side, but gave us plenty to discuss: another draining night, a chaotic second half, Ryan Manning's free-kick, Cyle Larin's late goal, Jack Clarke's impact off the bench and another outstanding save from Anatoliy Trubin/Peretz late on. The panel also debates whether Larin has now become the first-choice striker for the biggest games, whether the midfield balance was right, and how much the recent run of eight games in 24 days has finally started to show. With Saints now 18 league games unbeaten but unable to reach the automatic places, attention turns fully to the play-offs. The panel discusses the importance of finishing third or fourth, who Saints might want to avoid, and whether there is much difference between Middlesbrough, Millwall, Wrexham, Hull or Derby as potential opponents. There's also a look ahead to the final game of the regular season, as Saints travel to Preston North End with thousands of supporters heading north and a possible home second leg still to play for. There's also an update on Benali on Tour, with Franny Benali, Martin, Alex, Alfie and a group of Saints fans taking on a 14.5-mile challenge across 10 Lake District summits in aid of Saints Foundation — with the TSP team closing in on 100 sponsors before the weekend. https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echo Hosted on Acast.

Mark Griffiths looks at how the champions emerged victorious.
In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, Eddie got his haircut, but he wasn't happy with the experience and wondered what Frank would have done in the same situation. Manchester City won their game in hand, and their 1-0 win over Burnley has put them top of the table, but should Arsenal be favorites due to their easier run-in? Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea has ended, but just how bad were his 107 days at Stamford Bridge? And Leicester City's back-to-back relegations mean that the recent Premier League and FA Cup Champions are now facing life in League One. And how impressive have Wrexham been as they find themselves challenging for the playoffs in the Championship? Plus, Eddie is worried that Paul Seixas might be about to change French luck in the Tour de France, and he really thinks that Frank should be watching 'From'.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by former Watford, Wrexham, Man Utd and England goalkeeper turned YouTube trailblazer Ben Foster — and it's safe to say this one is packed with absolute chaos.Fozzy lifts the lid on life inside some of football's biggest dressing rooms, from the relentless intensity of Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United to the pressure of making one mistake at the very top level. He opens up about the moments that shaped his career, including refusing to play in an FA Cup final, getting battered 6–0… and somehow still finding a way to laugh about it.We also dive deep into the story behind the GoPro — the idea that changed football content forever — including the backlash, dressing room reactions, and the fines he received from clubs for showing too much.There's also incredible insight into Wrexham's rise under Ryan Reynolds & Rob Mac, including promotion celebrations, behind-the-scenes stories, and one of the most iconic penalty saves in recent football history.Plus, we get into goalkeeper psychology, “parched” players, dressing room politics, and what really separates those who make it at the very top… from those who don't.And there's this week's Chaos Card, and a slightly chaotic solo finish from Crouchy himself to top it all off.Chumbawamba00:00 - Intro, holidays & random chat02:15 - Crouchy's old VHS tapes & ball boy story04:30 - Fear of what's recorded on old tapes06:40 - Introducing Ben Foster10:30 - Podcasting as a footballer & inspiration13:30 - “Parched” players & dressing room stories15:00 - England camps & squad dynamics18:30 - Refusing to play in FA Cup final20:30 - Kepa situation & goalkeeper decisions21:30 - Origin of the GoPro idea24:50 - Players reacting to the camera25:50 - Hiding bad performances from YouTube27:00 - Getting fined for GoPro content28:30 - Social media evolution in football29:30 - Retirement & Wrexham return31:00 - Ryan Reynolds & Wrexham behind the scenes32:30 - Vegas promotion party stories33:30 - Iconic Notts County penalty save34:30 - Penalty mind games explained35:30 - Career highlights & cup final win36:30 - Obafemi Martins madness38:00 - Crazy football contracts & wages39:30 - Man United move story41:00 - First day at Man United & Sir Alex42:30 - Training intensity at United44:00 - Fear of making mistakes at top level45:30 - Dressing room mentality & leadership47:00 - Players who can't handle pressure48:30 - Big club mentality explained50:00 - Confidence vs hiding on the pitch56:00 - Career reflections & mindset01:00:00 - Football culture changes over time01:04:00 - Foster segment ends01:06:00 - Absolute shambles of a remote record! 01:08:30 - Chaos Card segment01:12:30 - Connection issues & wrap-up01:14:00 - Crouchy's solo predictionsFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Evan Gaertner and Mike Yalgey continue the conversation of Martin Luther’s treatise on the Catholic church’s medieval sacramental system, which was holding captive Christians. This episode focuses on the Lord’s Supper being described as a sacrifice vs a promise. Luther challenged the teaching that the Mass was a re-sacrifice of Christ’s passion. When the Lord’s Supper is turned into a good work, it becomes a measurement of how much we deserve to be welcomed by God. When the Lord’s Supper is offered as a gift of promise, then it is received by a sinner as a glad welcome. Luther emphasized that grace arrives through the pure and unmerited love of Christ.
