Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football

from The Podcast Nobody Asked For

Not that anybody asked but this week we laced up the boots and ignored the offside rule because we're figuring out our Top 3 Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football. It's a solo outing this week, and with the World Cup kicking off today, it felt like the right moment to ask: which football films actually work if you couldn't care less about the beautiful game? Whether it's the underdog story, the slow-motion goal, or the half-time team talk that somehow makes you cry anyway, we're finding the films that transcend the sport entirely. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a surprising amount of hobbits, an inability to spell Uruguay and Not Tim Roth.Become a friend of the podcast on Patreon and get bonus episodes and swagBuy merch over at TeepublicFollow us on InstagramFollow us on ThreadsFollow us on TikTok Hosted on Acast.
