Summary

Greetings, Comrades! Sorry, we launched the wrong version yesterday. That's due to us, using dates as internal naming, so we accidentally published the 07-04-2021 ep instead of the 07-05-2021 one. This is the proper episode, with fixed audio. Been wanting to do this for a while, and after talking with folks on Twitter, decided to finally talk about my favourite sport - football. The European variety of, as it's lately seen a lot of issues, but for that to be interesting I had to explain how the leagues work and all that. So, I do that here. This is a bit unorthodox ep, but I sincerely hope you'll like it. Enjoy!
