On this episode we delve into the world of South American football. Rather than start off with the bigger footballing powerhouse nations, we take a look at (not so small) Bolivia through the experiences of our Bolivian friend Brandon Reznicek. Between strangely named club teams and a 54 year old ex president playing at a professional level, we look more into how the sport prospers in this high altitude football mad nation, and of course, how Chelsea is going to win the league.

On this episode we bring on Peter Giavotto to share his thoughts on football in Italy and America. From youth development to the Serie A and MLS, Pete gives us some hot takes from his bicultural upbringing. Grainne, J, and D also discuss the form of their favorite teams leading up to the international break. And of course, VAR seems to be an evergreen headache at The Football Diaries.
