110 Percent Podcast

Livi and Tamara talk big dick energy and provide a vital primer on who’s got it this competition and who doesn’t. We then get half-serious and talk about football, politics, and nationalism, when Mussolini pretended to invent football and a France-Algeria friendly gone awry. Also, Livi flies to Belgrade halfway through the episode. * Corrections' Corner - we say that France and Algeria haven't played since the 2001 friendly! They have.

Livi and Tamara have an episode-long WAG-gasm reminiscing about Baden Baden, the misogyny of WAG baiting, and their top picks for WAG MVP. Oh, and we talk about Zinedine Zidane, again.

Livi is in Cyprus! When we're not talking about Zinedine Zidane - which we do for a long, languorous time - we touch on the nature of the underdog, live goats, and say farewell to Hervé Reynard just in time to say hello to a new segment, Shade Report.

Livi and Tamara dip a toe into their Russia obsession talking proletariat hero Lev Yashin, the NKVD, and the Baltic Fleet, as well as the first instalment of Livi's invaluable travel guide. A note: sadly, our cries of laughter halfway through the episode might have broken one of the mics, so towards the end of the episode, there is a lot of white noise. The content stands, but if you don't like listening to your podcasts like you're holding a shell up to your ear, we understand! Music: Party Like A Russian / Robbie Williams The National Anthem of the USSR / The Red Army Choir Очи чёрные / Ivan Rebroff Theme: Ice Cream / Leo Rosso

Tamara and Livi take a deep dive into hooliganism at home and abroad and discuss masculinity constructs, firms as paramilitary groups and settle the question of who the people's princess really is (John Terry).

In Episode 2, Livi walks you through the CONIFA World Cup, Tamara weighs up football kit as fashion kit, and and we play the game that's sweeping the nation: England squad member, or incumbent MP?
