Phil poses some thought-provoking questions (not really) about Forest Green Rovers.

  • German Football Pyramid and oh yeah, the World Cup is over. :-(
    Dec 21 2022

    On episode 7 of Football Nerds Anonymous, Ben and Phil do a semi-deep dive into the storied past of the German Football Pyramid. For this complex structure to make sense, we have to give you a lot more backstory, and it's a wild one! Also, we touch on Messi's first (and possibly only) World Cup. Also, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City complaining about post-World Cup scheduling and the Wolves finally play a meaningful game! That's right...league football is back, baby!
