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: Poch's USA Balling Out, Sonny's Struggles & Brazil Nostalgia","slug":"world-cup-digest-poch-s-usa-balling-out-sonny-s-struggles-brazil-nostalgia","published_at":"2026-06-13T09:54:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554/world-cup-digest-poch-s-usa-balling-out-sonny-s-struggles-brazil-nostalgia","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG8525204052.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG8525204052.mp3","summary":"Welcome to the very first episode of the Rule the Roost World Cup Digest - your 15 minute morning wrap-up of the biggest talking points from across the tournament. On today's 15-minute briefing: Opening Day Reflections: Lovely opening ceremony—unapologetically LATAM and a massive spectacle to get us underway. It is just a shame the referee didn’t get the carnival brief, marring the Mexico vs South Africa clash with a terrible performance and red cards aplenty. South Africa looked a bit sluggish, but it was a great moment for Raúl Jiménez - a feel good World Cup story. Poch is Cooking: Mauricio Pochettino has the USA absolutely balling out. In their match against Paraguay (who are absolutely no pushover), they looked exactly like peak 2016/17 Spurs. Well done. Canada's Spursy Vibe: Canada played some brilliant stuff that felt incredibly familiar. Plenty of style but perhaps lacking those killer final balls and ruthless finishers. However, that Cyle Larin goal was undeniably great. South Korea & Sonny: South Korea are playing some fantastic football, but is Son Heung-min starting to look a bit washed? Plus, I lament the fact that Lee Kang-in doesn't want to follow in Son's footsteps and make the move to N17. Brazil vs Morocco Preview: Looking ahead to tonight's massive matchup. After revisiting some classic matches from the 90s and 00s and seeing just how brilliant they were, it begs the question: have the broader tactical changes in modern football been the main reason for Brazil's struggles of late? Scotland's Late Night: It is a shame that the World Cup kick-off times are so late here in Europe, but we are wishing Scotland all the best as they get underway. Learn more about your ad choices.
