Started strong but petered down.
I am Argentine expat so this podcast was very special to me. Jasmine parallels her story with that of Messi. Leaving Argentina and the difficulty in returning. There is no consistent flow in the story between 5 and the end. For the football part, there are misconceptions. Jasmine implies fans are still frustrated with Messi after 2014-2016. This was the local media. She skips over 2014, Copa América Centenario, and Sampaoli in the 2018 World Cup (which had Scaloni). She also skips over Scalonis rise thanks to the U20 World Cup success Jasmine bizarrely discredits Emiliano Martinez’ impact in penalties and his knowledge in kicker and goalkeeper psychology by talking about our superstitions or “cabalas” and “anulo mufa” (I cancel your jynx attempt). I would have appreciated a mention of this vs Colombia and France. It is also would have been worth mentioning some butterfly effects that enabled Argentina and Messi to be successful in 2022. 1. Emiliano Martínez gaining a starting spot at Arsenal thanks to a Leno injury. 2. COVID-19 giving a chance for Martinez and Álvarez to play for Argentina and River Plate respectively.

WOW WOW WOW 🤩🇦🇷!I have to admit your podcast made me root for Messi and Argentina’s FC as my picks were weeded out as the tournament progressed. It made the win that much sweeter! A storybook ending to a Cinderella story that started with your podcast. Savor this win!! Congrats!!👏🏽👏🏽

I came for Messi. I stayed for the incredible storytelling, the first-person connection Jasmine Garsd has to the story, the añoranza. Episode 5, which I just finished, gave me all the feels. Excellent podcast.

Perfecto. Jasmine explica con sencillez y naturalidad el sentir de los que hemos tenido que irnos de casa y que sentimos que no hay ya vuelta atrás. Nos muestra cómo, de alguna forma, todos hallamos la manera de volver, o más bien, permanecer, a nuestro modo: atados desde el corazón al terruño....Read full review »
