Talking Tactics Podcast

Talking Tactics discuss EURO 2020. We go through the groups, giving our opinions and expectations. We tackle Italy's style. Belgium's biological clock. England's confusing squad. Croatia's midfield. Netherlands sabotage. Spain's lack of leaders. France as favourites. How will Germany play, and will the weight expectation hinder Portugal's campaign?

Also some club football news: Haaland to Chelsea. Sancho to Man United. Wijnaldum choosing PSG over Barcelona. Conte rejecting Spurs. Messi's new contract, and will Copa America happen?

Talking Tactics

EURO 2020 | Benzema Is Back!

Talking Tactics discuss EURO 2020, but first the Copa America final. 

Argentina win a major trophy with Messi, thanks to Angel Di Maria. What does it mean for Messi's legacy, and why international football really does matter. Brazil, simply, are in a bad place.

Italy are the champions of Europe. Donnarumma was massive, Chiellini and Bonucci were solid, and Chiesa was lightning. The win came at England's expense, who let their early lead advantage alter their game too much. Was the penalty order correct, and a healthy discussion on why racism felt inevitable given those who missed their spot kicks.

EURO 2020 | Dreams & Nightmares

Talking Tactics discuss Jack Grealish to Man City. Harry Kane refusing to train with Tottenham. Chelsea's striker: Is is Haaland? Is it Lukaku? Where is the money, Roman? When will Messi sign his contract? Are Real Madrid playing a waiting game with Haaland, Pogba, and Mbappe? With The Super League winning in court, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus played their cards correctly; and people say they'll get tired of big games, but is that cap? (Yes, it is.)

The future of the club, looking at CVC, and the Super League. Is Paris Saint-Germain the right move?

236 | Messi (Feat. Carl Anka)

Talking Tactics are joined by Paul Ansorge (of No Question About That) to discuss Manchester United 5-1 Leeds United. The masterclass of Paul Pogba. How good is Bruno really? Why can't Souness just give Pogba his credit? Harry Kane to Man City needs to happen. Chelsea looked good, but they need Lukaku. Have Hope on Messi to PSG, and the circus going on with Mbappe, Cristiano, and Real Madrid.  And we answer your questions on Chelsea loan system, media bias, and the Top 4.

238 | Sankofa (Feat. NiiNii FC)

Talking Tactics discuss Mbappé staying with Paris Saint-Germain after broken Real Madrid negotiations. Is it wise for PSG to pass on €200 million for one season of "MNM," and what happens to Madrid this season? Also, Have Hope has issues with social media. If Chelsea can't play Hudson-Odoi, should he follow Abraham's example and leave town? Man City 5-0 Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo is a Man United player again: Did they need him, and was his Juventus adventure successful?

UCL draw, and Have Hope updating his list of margins. The passing of Jean-Pierre Adams. Questions on Tammy Abraham, Messi v Ronaldo, Wenger changing the World Cup (forgive the ranting). Also, can you compare footballers to video game consoles?

Have Chelsea and Tuchel reached the point of investigation? Has Sadio Mane's storm passed? What does Ashley Barnes do for fun? Allegri should have stayed away from this Juventus project. Benzema continues to perform with his young Real Madrid side. Haaland and the Bundesliga.

Talking Tactics discuss France 2-1 Spain in the UEFA Nations League final. Is the Nations League important, or is it too early to tell? How Luis Enrique is improving his reputation as a manager with Spain. The Benzema and Mbappé narratives gain momentum as they score in the final. Belgium in the mud. Neymar doesn't see himself playing past the 2022 World Cup; is there anything deeper? Newcastle United have Saudi ownership; if you could buy any club in the world, which would it be?

Talking Tactics are joined by Forward to discuss Manchester United losing to Leicester City. Where is Solskjaer's end? Mohamed Salah is in the form of his life, where does he rank? Chelsea struggled vs. Brentford, where are the issues; plus the re-emergence of Loftus-Cheek. Newcastle United's new owners watch their first game. Electronic Arts won't be making FIFA anymore: what's next for football gaming?

245 | You Can't Blame Fred (Feat. Forward)

Talking Tactics discuss Liverpool trashing Manchester United 5-0 at Old Trafford. Is this the end for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer; and if so what might United look like with new management? Salah continues his red-hot form. Chelsea drub Norwich 7-0. Phil Foden is for real. Vinicius shines in El Clasico, and Barcelona fans run up on Ronald Koeman. There was too much football on Sunday to have a complete understanding of every league, someone needs to work that out... Arsène.

246 | Ole's Wheel Broke

Talking Tactics are joined by friend of the pod RED to discuss the Paris Saint-Germain's women's team, and Aminata Diallo apparently being falsely accused of setting a trap for her team-mate Kheira Hamraoui, and what Eric Abidal may have to do with this. How would we split 48 World Cup nations, Spanish football needs a good Barcelona, and what it means to be an older fan, from one's level of passion to buying shirts.

249 | Who Sent Hitters? (Feat. RED)

Talking Tactics are joined by friend of the pod A1 to discuss Manchester United sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and why they were a month late. Who should they target to be their next full-time manager. A1 talks about Liverpool beating his beloved Arsenal, and if Arteta indeed “won” the would-be battle between him, Lampard, and Solskjaer. Also where are they gonna get goals from if Aubameyang is their only prolific scorer. Chelsea are title favourites. What is happening with Raheem Sterling; and have you seen the Pelé video?

250 | So Long, Solskjaer (Feat. A1)

Talking Tactics discuss the 2021 Ballon d'Or ceremony. Simon Kjaer's placement. The early 1990s (Neymar, Hazard, and Pogba) letting us down. Jorginho placing third. France Football inventing an award for Lewandowski. Messi winning his seventh golden ball, and what, if anything, it means for his legacy. Also, the differences between the best of all time (BOAT) and the greatest of all time (GOAT)? Lastly we take your questions on Ballon d'Or criteria, Reece James, and Manchester United hiring Ralf Rangnick.

Talking Tactics discuss Chelsea losing to West Ham United, and mistakes made by Mendy. Origi coming clutch for Liverpool. Silva is balling for Manchester City. Are we living in a film about Fred? Xavi with Barcelona is a risk that needs time. Is this final form Vini? Can you call a referee corrupt if they’ve been caught before? Inter look strong. Lens draw PSG. Have Hope’s math, and more Pele footage has surfaced.

252 | Mendy Mistakes

Talking Tactics discuss UEFA messing up the Champions League draw, and which teams benefited from the redrawing of the teams. How the Premier League weekend was decided by penalties. Has Thomas Tuchel ever had to create an attack? What do we think about the Ralf Rangnick project at Manchester United? So you can invade the pitch at women’s football without consequence; what part of the game is that? Will there be another stoppage due to health concerns, and the Vinicius takeover.

253 | Double Draw

Talking Tactics are joined by Zach Lowy (of Breaking the Lines) to discuss FIFA destroying the World Cup. Arsenal’s youth revival. Zach’s love of Portugal. Chelsea having no squad, and needing more in attack. Kane and Robertson’s red card decisions. Can Inter touch Liverpool if they play like they did vs. Spurs? Will Juventus get Top 4? Who are these Barcelona children? Hazard is scared. And your questions on longevity, “The Last Dance” a football version, game/minute restrictions, and the capitalist nature of football.

254 | 'LeBron James of Soccer' (Feat. Zach Lowy)

Talking Tactics discuss the situation Romelu Lukaku created by doing an interview with Sky Italia about his love for Inter Milan and his summer transfer to Chelsea. Is there a quick way back for Lukaku into the Chelsea squad. Should Tim Howard's texts be public? Do supporters love their club more than they love football? And we take your questions on why Man City are so good, where Crystal Palace will finish, what happens if Newcastle get relegated, and whether Daniel roots for the USMNT (spoiler alert: hell no).

Talking Tactics discuss Arsenal losing in the FA Cup. Should non-league clubs celebrate consolation goals against Premier League clubs (see Chelsea 5-1 Chesterfield)? Coutinho to Aston Villa, what was his Barcelona career about? We know why you're at Newcastle, Kieran. Why did Abraham leave Chelsea? Mourinho is attacking Roma players again. Would you want a "Pan-African Cup of Nations?" Who are the favourites for AFCON 2021, and where in the world is Hervé Renaud? We end with questions on media training, and plotting eye test v stats.

256 | Pan-African Cup of Nations

Talking Tactics discuss why Manchester United having an older team with a philosophy that demands a lot physically is misguided. Was the Rangnick plan too ambitious? Coutinho balling for Aston Villa. Carl talks about Ghana at AFCON 2021. Have Hope talks about Nigeria at AFCON 2021. Daniel asks questions about AFCON 2021. Why are there three Gunieas? Man City beat Chelsea 1-0, was Lukaku really that bad, and is Tuchel being diversionary by criticizing his striker?

[There was one production note: We've been afforded the opportunity to monetize the podcast with a partner we think makes sense in Touchline Media Group; so we've decided as a collective to explore the opportunity.

257 | Really Old Trafford

Talking Tactics discuss Chelsea beating Tottenham, and why Spurs fans should feel as disappointed as Antonio Conte. Are we starting to see the real Hakim Ziyech? Have Hope thinks Lukaku has messed himself, and Daniel thinks Chelsea the football club are simply messy. We take your questions on VAR decisions. Liverpool v Crystal Palace. AFCON storylines with Nigeria, Comoros, Cameroon, and Burkina Faso. Are Hazard's chances running out, and which rival player was so good you couldn't hate on them?

74 | Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd & Are Man City Champions Elect?

In French, “coup de tête” has three meanings. It can mean “headed goal,” “head butt,” or “impulsive action.” When telling the story of Zinedine Zidane and the World Cup, it’s impossible to avoid headed goals, head butts, and impulsive actions.

Zidane was the best midfielder of his generation, and is arguably the greatest midfielder to ever wear football boots, but equalling the greatness of the Frenchman’s career was the stunning way it ended.

This Talking Tactics Special explores Zidane’s amazing journey from the 1998 World Cup final — when he became France’s idol — to its incredible climax in the 2006 World Cup final.

2018 World Cup | Group C: Australia, Peru, Denmark & France

Talking Tactics discuss the World Cup Round of 16. Were Argentina and Portugal’s losses to France and Uruguay the end of Messi/Cristiano's era? Is Mbappe 2018 R9? Why does CR7 waste our time? Can Uruguay beat France minus Cavani? Should Spain rethink their ultra-possession style? Croatia struggled with Denmark. Brazil KO Mexico, Neymar turns villain. Was Belgium 3-2 Japan game of the tournament? Sweden don’t need Zlatan, and England beat Colombia on penalties. And from your questions: Who do we want to win? What final do we want? Golden Ball winner? What are our ideal endings?

2018 World Cup | Is This Your GOAT?

Talking Tactics discuss 2018 World Cup’s semi-finals. Will France keep Deschamps if they lose another final? Belgium’s Brazil victory wasn’t the best yardstick for France. The half-genius, half-brickness of Olivier Giroud. More Mbappe marveling. Pogba and Kante were made for each other. England lose to Croatia, it wasn’t a bad tournament for the Three Lions. Southgate deserves more time to improve himself and his team. Can Croatia shock France in the final? And from your questions: Most clutch moments? Was England too gassed? Who’s stock has risen/fallen? Sneijder 2010 or Modric 2018?

2018 World Cup | Home Improvement

Talking Tactics discuss the 2018 World Cup final. Croatia played a better final, but France won the trophy. Why the World Cup is hardest competition. Mbappe must create his own legacy. Pogba’s haters are stressed! Kante’s come up. Why do “European” Africans perform better than continental Africans? Should you be paid for international football? French prospects in 2022? Was this World Cup better than World Cup 2014? Top 3 moments, best goal, player, game, coach and XI. Politicians use the World Cup for political gain, but we can't wait for 2022.

2018 World Cup | Where's Graeme Souness?

We're all stuck at home, there's no football, but if you want to listen to us run our mouths, trying our hardest to talk about football, but not exactly staying on topic, you're in luck.

In this quarantine episode, we take some listener topics on missing football, which games we would've liked to see live, why we started watching football, wasted talent, a few NBA topics, and a "How Good Was Pelé Really?" debate, amongst other things.

Quarantine Edition | Part IV

We're all stuck at home, there's no football, but if you want to listen to us run our mouths, trying our hardest to talk about football, but not exactly staying on topic, you're in luck.

In this quarantine episode, we talk some football conspiracy theories. Ronaldo in France 1998, South Korea's improbable run in 2002, what happened with Chelsea v Barcelona in 2009, and what was LasagnaGate? In that we ask the question are corruption and human error proof of conspiracy, or just the building blocks for a theory.

Last we talk about "The Last Dance," Michael Jordan, and why a football documentary like this would be difficult to replicate.

Also, sorry for the delay, but we're having some technical issues in the background. We hope to fix them in the next couple weeks!
