Every Monday, Jack’s joined by a guest to wrestle with whatever state Tottenham are in – from match discussions to transfer talk and identity to existential dread. Thursdays are for Q&As, your chance to ask serious (or not) questions. And after every match, there’s a solo pod recorded on the final whistle: unfiltered, emotional, and usually involving Jack crying about Ledley King (and now Son Heung-min too). If you like your football chat somewhere between pub preacher and quasi-intellectual, you’ll probably get on with this. Expect plenty of pop-culture references too. Up the Spurs.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-27T02:19:59.134489+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554"},"episode":{"title":"WORLD CUP DIGEST: Ordinary Brazil, Aussie Joy & Water Break Drama","slug":"world-cup-digest-ordinary-brazil-aussie-joy-water-break-drama","published_at":"2026-06-15T07:35:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554/world-cup-digest-ordinary-brazil-aussie-joy-water-break-drama","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG7630482492.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG7630482492.mp3","summary":"An Ordinary Brazil: Morocco proved they are a genuinely good side, but Brazil looked decidedly ordinary. I take a moment to reflect on the legendary Brazilian teams of years gone by and ask where the magic has gone. Scottish Pride: Well done to Scotland on getting the job done! I loved the brilliant rendition of Flower of Scotland, which really shines a light on our rather dreary English anthem, God Save the King. Credit to Haiti as well—they looked very tidy in places and I think they're arguably quite unlucky to be stuck in such a tough group. Aussie Joy: A huge 2-0 result for the Aussies against Turkey, with the added element of Greek-Aussie joy making it an even sweeter victory down under. Water Break Controversy: Did the mandated water break ruin the flow of the Germany vs Curaçao game? Curaçao had just equalised and were aggressively pressing a genuinely rattled German side, only for Germany to recoup and reassert themselves after the pause. It begs the question: are FIFA fundamentally changing the landscape and rhythm of how the game is played? Underwhelming Oranje: Despite the late drama in the 2-2 draw, it was a fairly underwhelming game between the Netherlands and Japan. Japan were overly defensive for large spells, whilst the Dutch struggled to find that killer pass and ultimately switched off at the back. Plus, I look at Micky van de Ven, who really doesn't look well-suited to operating at left-back. Côte d'Ivoire Grind It Out: A massive three points on the board for Côte d'Ivoire against Ecuador. Picking up hard-fought wins against fairly evenly matched sides is exactly the name of the game in tournament football. Super Swedes: Sweden absolutely smash Tunisia to get their campaign underway. When I look through the Swedish squad, there is an abundance of qu…","meta_description":"An Ordinary Brazil: Morocco proved they are a genuinely good side, but Brazil looked decidedly ordinary.
