Our take on New: Football Clichés podcast

Football Clichés is the go-to podcast for anyone puzzled by soccer talk. Host Adam Hurrey explains football jargon in a fun way. The show has a "judge panel" that humorously picks apart weird phrases heard in soccer. They also have lists of 11 interesting soccer-related things, and guest stars talk about what they love and hate in soccer. Updated twice a week, it's a laid-back yet intelligent look at how we talk about the game. New: Football Clichés is a soccer podcast by Adam Hurrey.
