Episode 3508: Balcony Broadcasting, Soucek Scoop, Coleman Leads, Fan Fervour
It’s Matchday -1, we have installed ourselves on the balcony of our Prague apartment, and we’re ready to give you the Second Captains Preview To End All Previews.

It’s only right that our friend Štêpán Hájek of Canal + in Czechia is our first guest, and he has some big news regarding Tomáš Soucek’s possible omission from their starting lineup tomorrow, as well as the impact on the international team of this match-fixing scandal currently roiling Czech football.

David Sneyd, journalist and coypu-lover, is with us as well to give the lowdown on the Irish fans and his trip to Everton last week to meet big Jake O’Brien, and how likely it is that we will start his Everton compatriot Seamus Coleman. And we hear from Coleman himself, who was speaking to Ken and the assembled press this morning.
