One club. Infinite regrets. After 18 months searching for a team, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali have finally settled down. York City is the chosen one. Now, the real challenge begins: learning to actually love them. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T14:20:56.880338+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288"},"episode":{"title":"Mexico vs South Africa Watchalong","slug":"mexico-vs-south-africa-watchalong","published_at":"2026-06-12T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288/mexico-vs-south-africa-watchalong","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingafootballclub/episodes/Mexico-vs-South-Africa-Watchalong-e3kmkev","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/104d53310/podcast/play/121376671/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-14%2F086a79f6-74a6-e361-d7a1-14476a0b4c0a.mp3","summary":"The 2026 World Cup has officially kicked off, and Finding a Football Club is here to provide the ultimate alternative commentary. Luke and Roberto suffer through the opening game, so you don’t have to. While Mexico comfortably secure a 2-0 win to cash Luke's (some say genius) bet, the lads are more interested in Salma Hayek’s billionaire husband, question why Paul Bettany used 9/11 to propose to Jennifer Connelly, and disagree on the talent of Mark Lawrenson. Roberto steals the show with an anecdote from his local cricket club involving an oblivious 19-year-old, a girlfriend currently in labour, and a biological father who has conveniently fled to Tunisia. Plus, the boys test their obscure football knowledge with a few rounds of Goalless, simulate their 38-0 teams, and rattle through their definitive World Cup brackets.","meta_description":"The 2026 World Cup has officially kicked off, and Finding a Football Club is here to provide the ultimate alternative commentary.
