Episode 53: Boca finally lose (twice), Messi’s genius and more, with Jonathan Wilson

The fifty-third episode of Hand Of Pod sees Seba return along with Sam, Dan and Dan, and a special guest appearance from football journalist, author and editor of The Blizzard, Jonathan Wilson. Topics up for discussion include Boca Juniors’ two straight defeats (after an eleven-month unbeaten run), Racing suddenly clicking against All Boys, and how Lionel Messi’s brilliance is so consistent we’ve almost stopped fully appreciating it. Jonathan has a bit of a rant about Juan Román Riquelme, we consider the tactics being used by Alejandro Sabella for the national team, and much more. Enjoy.
