Episode 335: the big boys join the Copa Superliga

In the three hundred and fifty-fifth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés look back on the second legs of the Copa Superliga first round, which saw a few more interesting matches than the first legs had produced, and look forward to this weekend, when the quality of the competition should improve markedly as the teams who finished first to sixth in the league enter the fray. We also take a look at next season, and the Superliga’s spectacular lack of communication surrounding it, and give you the latest on the battle for promotion from the second division, broken regulations and all.

There’s only one way to find out, and it’s by listening to this episode! Well, okay, you could check a large number of websites or apps, I suppose. But please listen.
