Ever wondered why a soccer pitch is called that, or how the offside rule really works? Soccer 101 is here for that. This isn't just a highlight reel; it's a deep, engaging dive into the stories and systems that built the world's game. Hosted by TSS, each episode unpacks a different piece of soccer's vast puzzle, from the forgotten histories of legendary clubs and iconic tournaments to clear, thoughtful explainers on tactics, terminology, and those confusing rules everyone argues about. We go beyond the scores to explore the culture, the politics, and the sheer human drama woven into the sport's fabric. Whether you're a new fan trying to understand the basics or a lifelong devotee curious about the origins of your passion, this podcast offers a welcoming, insightful space to learn. You'll come away from each conversation not just with more knowledge, but with a richer appreciation for every match you watch. It's all the context you never knew you needed, making the beautiful game even more compelling. Tune in for a fresh perspective that connects the past to the present pitch.
