Hope you're all enjoying the World Cup! To celebrate, the US's progress to the knockout stage, this week we're having a US Super Fan on the show! We're joined by Rob Matsuura, who proudly regales us with his favourite memories of supporting the US men's and women's national teams. Rob tells us all about his childhood playing soccer, and what led him to develop a love for Manchester United, plus why Manchester City have been so effective at breaking into the American market of fans. Three of Rob's goals also have a common thread of a particularly talented Englishman, whose ferocious nature, coupled with impudent skill, made him the darling of Old Trafford. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, so you can listen to Rob's pre-Tournament thoughts about the US' chances of getting out of the group, and what it might take for Football to come Home to England. As always, please leave us a 5 star review wherever you get your podcasts, and enjoy the show!
