Hosted by me, Sam Little, the Maple Footy podcast, is a home for football/soccer to get their fix of talking footy. Covering relevant Canadian Footy stories at the start of every episode so that you're in the know of what's going on with the Beautiful Game in Canada. Each international break will see me cover in-depth the games and news coming out of each game, whether it's a tournament or just friendlies, we'll talk about it! Regularly scheduled content is the English Premier League & Canadian Premier League Recaps, where I talk about each matchday, giving my opinions on the matter. I'll sprinkle in other tidbits too to each episode of what is happening in the Canadian World of Footy. This is Maple Footy, the Podcast from the North and Canada's (Unofficial) Football Podcast.
