Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or have never watched a match, this episode is about something much bigger than football itself. We explore why British football feels different, and what it reveals about the people in the UK - even non-supporters. From family traditions and local pride to national identity, we discover how the sport has become woven into British culture. Along the way, we compare it to American college football, uncover a personal connection to Manchester City’s history, discuss the growing influence of the Lionesses, and reveal where our loyalties lie when it comes to the World Cup.Turn on notifications, subscribe for more cultural breakdowns, and drop your thoughts in the comments below!
