International Soccer Preview by Soccerphiles Canada previews upcoming tournaments and qualifications in international soccer. We offer a thorough history of each team we preview and do a deep dive into each team's for the specific stage of the tournament we are previewing. So, for example, if we are previewing the 2023 Asian Cup finals, we do a deep dive into each team's history at the Asian Cup finals. For tournaments, we also produce an episode for the players of each team. We hope listeners enjoy tournaments more by gaining a more intimate of the teams and players in a tournament. We are currently on series 21. Having covered the latest regional cup in all confederations, we are now planning to preview World Cup qualifying for all regions.
