Show Notes
We did it! We made it to the 1-year mark!!! Thanks to everyone who helped make this first year possible: our listeners, our guests, our fellow footy travelers all over the world. You all are an incredible group, and we can't wait to meet more of you in our travels over this next year and in years to come.
In this episode we also continue our look back at our World Cup 2022 experience through interactions and conversations with Group F footy travelers from Belgium, Canada, Morocco, & Croatia. What do Belgians think about the Golden Generation? Is soccer bigger than hockey now in Canada? Can you really go skiing in Northern Africa? And what was up with all the water polo gear fans were wearing at Croatia games? It's all here in the latest episode!
Foot(y)notes:
Belgium
Haven't seen (or heard of) one of Mike's favorite movies of all time? Check out this teaser and you might understand why he loves it so much.
Canada
Wondering what the best ski resort in Canada is like Colin? Depends. Are you going for snowiest? Snow reliability? Most terrain?
Morocco
Speaking of skiing... YES, you can ski in Morocco! Here's proof.
Who is you favorite Moroccan footballer of all-time?
Croatia
Here's that Moja Domovina video from Hrvatski Band Aid (Band Aid Croatia)
We talked lightly about this song and Slovkav's singing it to us when we chatted with him, but it has much deeper roots than we two bozos give it credit for in the episode. It was released in the initial stages of the 1991–95 Croatian War of Independence, and was often played to boost morale either among soldiers on the battlefield or civilians in their shelters.
