Snowball sh*thousery in Norway, strange sideline antics in Italy & a deep dive into Gibraltar

In the latest instalment of The Sweeper, studio sidekicks Lee Wingate and Paul Watson cast the net far and wide to round up all the niche global football action in the first half of March.Paul reflects on his time as the world's youngest international manager (sort of) and the dormant plans to bring his remote adventure to the big screen, while Lee tries to get to grips with Europe's most bizarre league format in Moldova.There's a comical touchline moment in Serie B, a historical hiding in Holland, an amazing accomplishment for Violette of Haiti and some superb sh*thousery in the fourth round of the Norwegian cup.With two leagues already concluded, there's also some chat about the champions in Gibraltar and Malta, plus a review of all the clubs across Europe on course to claim their first-ever top-flight title.RUNNING ORDER:PART 1 - The world's youngest international manager & the Micro Cup (01:14)PART 2 - Weird, wacky & wonderful across the world (14:56)PART 3 - Premature champions & tantalising title races (34:24) Hosted on Acast.
