Portuguese Football Podcast

Welcome to the Portuguese Football Podcast, a weekly podcast in which host Brian Fonseca discusses the latest happenings in the world of Portuguese football. From the Grandes of Benfica/Porto/Sporting to the sides fighting relegation, from the Seleção A to the U-17, Fonseca takes you through all relevant news, discussing it for listeners to understand and throwing in some personal flavor with his opinion. The podcast is inspired by the Spanish Football Podcast done by the Guardian's Sid Lowe and Real Madrid TV's Phil Kitromilidis. It's my favorite football podcast and it inspired me to start my own. Listen to their podcast on iTunes, support them on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/tsfp) and follow them on Twitter @SidLowe and @PhilKitro. Believe me, you won't regret it. Intro of the podcast is inspired by the intro of the BigSoccerHead podcast. Follow Eric Kraukauer, the creator of that podcast, on Twitter @BigSoccerHeadNY, as well as his co-host Jason Le Miere of Newsweek @JasonLeMiere.
