The Soccer OG with Max Bretos

Maximiliano Bretos•shows.acast.com

My name is Max Bretos and I am The Soccer OG. For the last quarter-century I have earned that name by covering every player in every league on every continent. Yes, I have watched more football matches, than I have had hot dinners. I am skilled in one thing… And now I bring that know-how to the Soccer OG Podcast, continuing the tradition of The Soccer OG. Youtube show.
