If you fancy giving either one of the podcasts a go for a month or so to see if they’re up your street, you’d be making a genuinely massive difference to me in keeping this all going as a living. Here’s the link: Patreon.com/HLTCO

Unfortunately, with the growth of bots and automated messages on here, my standard form of outreach regarding the podcasts I record each day no longer seems to work, which has got me seriously concerned about the longevity of doing this as a full-time job. I think people now receive DM’s from me about the podcast and automatically assume it’s a bot rather than a real person which is incredibly frustrating. I record two separate podcasts each weekday morning, one on Palace and one on football generally in both the UK and across Europe; they’re both delivered directly to your inbox by 8:30am Monday-Friday and are always 25 minutes or less so you’re totally up to date with everything that’s going on first thing in the day. I keep it at just £2.50 a month because I want it to be affordable for everyone but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t worried about my chances of keeping it going much longer given the change in DM responses. Not really sure what to do but just thought I’d make people aware.

I am here once again to bring the talents of 18-year-old Nestor Irankunda to your attention. He’s incredible.

First full night shift of this World Cup, I’ve gone through the tiredness wall and can now hear the birds singing. 5 minutes until Australia v Turkey. I am going to hit the biggest bastard of walls at some point in the next 90 minutes. 😂

The moment it was confirmed. “It’s over! It’s over! Knick fans, this is not a dream. Your long wait is over. Go ahead and cry; after 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA Champions once again!”

New York must be absolute madness right. 53 years since their last title. Mad.

Buzzing for John McGinn. He came across as a truly sound bloke on Kevin Bridges’ documentary, he spoke about what playing at this World Cup would mean to him on there and now he’s scored their first goal in one for 28 years. Magic.

Every time they do a cutaway to the VAR team with them all looking at the camera it amuses me. THEY’RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS

Should the clock not stop completely during these “hydration breaks” given the fact that they are pre-determined? They’re pumping out adverts for medical practices with 737 side-effects over in America and the time is still ticking away.

Seeing so many people moan about the kick-off times. I get it, it’s shit for us, waiting until the evening to start and having to power through into the early hours is horrible but it’s the World Cup. The clue is in the name, a 3pm kick off here is 7am in LA. It is what it is.

Call it “soft as fuck” if you want but one thing the World Cup always seems to do, almost as soon as it begins, is remind you that you’ll likely enjoy your life a LOT more if you welcome people in and try to have a laugh rather than being consistently aggy.
Mexican fans having it up with South Korean fans to Gangnam Style? This is the REAL World Cup. 😂

Each to their own and all that but this is an alien concept to me. I’d watch football at any level, on any day as long as it was on. The World Cup in particular is just as much about the lesser fancied nations as it is about the heavyweights for me.
Maybe I’m not a proper footy fan but Idk if I can tune into Bosnia vs Canada as a serious human being

Could the media not take a break from leaking the team news for a few weeks? Does it have to be splashed everywhere?
Jude Bellingham is expected to start England's World Cup opener 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⁣ ⁣ John Stones and Ezri Konsa are favoured to start over Marc Guehi in defence.

That’s our boy. 🥰
83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966. Perfection.
