Wembley's Game with Daniel Esteve

Sports EN ↓ 66 episodes

Wembley the dog is named after Wembley Stadium, the Home of Football. He is a soccer pup and this is a soccer pod. World Football is, and always will be, an integral part of communities across the globe. Sports anchor and reporter Daniel Esteve knows this well, having covered youth, collegiate and professional soccer throughout his career. But despite his experience, Daniel Esteve isn't the foremost authority on the beautiful game. His guests, however, are. Wembley's Game will feature weekly guests to discuss all things soccer, world football or whatever you call the beautiful game.
