Summary

In this special year-end edition of the Planet Futbol Podcast, host Avi Creditor (twitter.com/acreditor) is joined by Alex Abnos (twitter.com/anabnos), and the guys recap the biggest and most notable moments in the world of soccer in 2015. Spoiler alert: There's a lot of them! Soccer was at the center of a worldwide corruption investigation, a terrorist attack, and yet another notable incident of racism. Then there where the slightly more positive, on-field moments: Which of Barcelona's incredible goals made the cut? And what performance does Alex think tops Robert Lewandowski's ridiculous outburst of five goals in nine minutes? All that and more on this year-end edition of the Planet Futbol Podcast. -- The Planet Futbol Podcast is brought you by the SeatGeek app, available in app stores and at seatgeek.com.
