Faking Injuries
Faking Injuries Podcast
Called the dumbest show in football for a reason, Faking Injuries is an irreverent, crowd-funded, Cayman-domiciled podcast on a mission to spread the gospel of European football in America. Noah and Charlie prefer to discuss fans with flares, the best butts dumptrucks in the Premier League, and the size of your owner’s bank account. However, their contracts also require them to scout players and track teams in obscure leagues, keep an eye on financial football news, and craft bets across Europe that usually fail. If you love European football (soccer) and having a laugh, go listen!
