In Episode Five of the Leading the Line Podcast I am joined by Chris Deeley football writer for 90min.com and author to the book, Forgotten Nations: Football in the Shadows.

During the interview we talk about his experiences covering England and USA at this summer’s Women’s World Cup, what made him decide to focus on the nations that make up the wonderful world of CONIFA and some of the stories he discovered along the way.

The interview whilst also giving insight in relation to covering that 13-0 victory for the USA against Thailand this summer also digs deeper into some of the wider questions CONIFA may face as the organisation grows. We cover a lot of ground from Paris to the Pacific and everything in between in an enjoyable 45 minute conversation.
