Ste is sitting there probably half thinking about telling Poch his 5 reasons why he didn't want him as United manager. 👀😂

[@rg6982]

Was thinking the same thing 😂😂 Would be so funnt if Poch brought up those vids

[@Esi153]

I had the same thought 😂😂😂

Ste in his mind : You Came second in a one horse race. Explain yourself.

[@Romano__M]

Rio is so chilled and given these guys an amazing platform. I love this show

[@kingkong-oq8co]

Rio dropping bangers after bangers. I'm really loving these interviews/talks with these top managers/players, I really like their unique insights and perspective into the game since most people that talk about football online aren't really involved with the game and look at it from an outsider's point of view.

[@shahabhassan3304]

Ste vs Poch. Bigger rivalry than Liverpool vs ManCity

[@palashrawat401]

Ste should bring out Paddock to play vs Poch's local team and let's find out once and for all 🤣

There's no rivaly with Liverpol. You know the trophy count difference ? Lol

It's nice to get insight in how Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are naturally & what motivates them all :)

Best football content on the internet. Keep it going Rio! Bigger and better always! Great to hear from Poch. Spurs were out of their minds sacking him. Their best ever manager.

[@mujeebahmed7940]

Even as an Arsenal fan rate pochettino highly.. top guy and excellent manager.

[@MakavelliNL]

Rio is bringing like 'TOP QUALITY' content for the fans man. This is EXACTLY what the fans wanna hear and see. The right questions, the right setting, the right persons, the right topics. None of these theatrical media sky sports bla bla news stories bla bla shit. Just PURE FOOTBALL CONTENT. He is fulfilling the needs of the fans perfectly. All props goes towards Rio and his crew. Mainly because he is also just a genuine honest good intelligent football legend and fan. And really does this all because he just LOVES FOOTBALL. TOP TOP TOP.

Great interview! I'm Argentine, and Poche was actually one of my favorite defenders when he was playing. He's a smart and well spoken guy but his English needs a lot of improvement though haha. I love all the anecdotes from Rio and Poche about their own WC experiences.

[@nicoamusa16]

[@romalouis1]

Rio, Ste and Joe…u guys are setting the bar very high. Well done guys🙌🏾

[@MrPoepope]

I lived for two years in Argentina and was there during the 2010 world cup. And it's insane in Argentina, historically, they were always on the backs of the national team thinking negatively up until an hour before the match then at kick-off there was a total expectation to win. After that, if they won it was pure celebration if they lost it returned to the expected 'x, y, z, isn't good enough'... it sounds normal, like all teams, but there was a longstanding negative thinking even when they made the WC finals from my Argentina friends say. Strangely, even though the team isn't as good as the 2014 world cup there are actual expectations this year. They're very very similar to the English with their international team support, although they would hate any comparison at all to England (viva Las Malvinas ;)

[@kingkan7297]

Ferdinand really impŕesses me by his humble nature, make me have huge respect for him..the way he admires and is so keen and eager to learn and know about messi, neymar,etc. just like us normal fans.. the way he humbles himself makes it look like he have never played with great players while he have shared the dressing room with so mang greats of the game..

It’s interesting hearing about the ability to see four games in a day. I was In Japan in 2002. Travelling was expensive and time consuming. Having said that, my favourite day was travelling to Yokohama on the Shinkansen with singing Mexican fans.

best intro song for a talk show

Felt a bit of a waste of questions but cool vid.

[@jpf_0549]

Never thought I’d see the day Having Ste and Poch around a table 😂

[@dennisfreeman4813]

Poch is former player and captain so he still has that golden rule in his head...what happens in the dressing room stays...because you can tell he's not saying everything that happened at PSG with the stars...if it was so amazing he'd still be there, and he's be singing their praises, but he's saying generic things about these guys that we all know

[@dennisfreeman4813]

Also notice the Argentinian didnt mention Brazil

[@shezaadkarim9123]

Great content as always guys! Its nice to hear something positive about Qatar given all the political bits the mainstream media have been flooding us with. The first World Cup in the Middle East should be celebrated as a sporting success in equal measure to how its criticised from a political angle.

[@seanacton2420]

Someone tell Ste he doesn't have to mention United every few minutes. That's coming from a United fan. Joel does it spot on.

[@reddevil211287]

A great manager creates an opportunity to coach great players & great players create an opportunity to be coached by a great manager. It's a two way street. Mbappe, Neymar & Messi are great players. Pochetino is a great manager.

[@amfitness5598]

I’m surprised they didn’t ask him if he is holding out for a national team coaching job after this World Cup (as we know some top tier jobs will open when those countries don’t win the WC).

[@adieleprecious5226]

Who else feels a bit disappointed Rio didn't ask his favourite 5 aside question?😅. I certainly was expecting that question. Maybe 5 aside of players he has managed or played with.

[@CoylesCalcioCorner]

Poch needs to learn that south americans were not eligible for the ballon d’or during maradona’s era it was European players only. And the dynamic of joining a team that was loaded compared to diego playing for a team that as much history as Leicester before their title and in a much tougher league. I dont think it would be wise or fair belittle lionel but lets be serious 🧐

I am disappointed in Mauricio saying Maradona did not win the ballon dor. The award was given to only European players in Maradona's time the first non European to win it was the great George Weah.

[@lucasvg8625]

What is it that disappoints you about him, that he tells the truth? Indeed, even though the prize was given to the Europeans, it is as Poch says. Maradona never won the ballon d'or

[@AbebeAmare]

@@lucasvg8625 my point is the ballon dor should not be included to compare if one was not allowed to be awarded due to nationality.

Sorry Poch but I just spent 7 months in Argentina and Uruguay and nearly everyone I spoke with rated Maradona above Messi.
