The Obscure Nations XI

from Finding a Football Club · host Luke Oddie

This time on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Will, and Roberto trawl through the atlas to build a starting XI of players from the world’s most niche footballing nations.Expect discussion on the finest exports from Curaçao, Uzbekistan, and the Seychelles. Though, if we're being honest, it's mostly just an excuse to list former Wigan Athletic players.The lads assemble a team that features a Filipino goalkeeper who played for Leatherhead, a midfielder from French Guiana who defied FIFA law, and the slowest Latvian in football history.Along the way, Will drops a bombshell fact about Shaka Hislop working for NASA, Roberto tries to sneak a human trafficking victim into the midfield, and Luke tries to wrap the episode up in 50 minutes to avoid giving his wife a massage.Just another episode then.
