Tifo Clips
Short, focused clips of tactical football analysis from the main Tifo Football Podcast roundtable.
This channel carves out specific, focused conversations from the longer, more free-flowing Tifo Football Podcast. Each clip tackles a single question—like a team's inconsistency or a player's tactical fit—and presents the roundtable discussion on that topic. It's a way to get Tifo's signature data-informed, tactical analysis in short, 5-15 minute videos.
“Unlike channels focused on news, rumors, or personality clashes, Tifo Clips is almost exclusively dedicated to tactical and structural analysis. The hosts ground their discussions in observable on-pitch patterns, statistical concepts like xG, and coaching philosophies, offering a more academic lens on the week's biggest matches and stories.”
Who hosts this show

A rotating panel of hosts and analysts, including Joe Devine, Jon Mackenzie, and JJ Bull, break down tactical trends, team performances, and major news stories from the world of football. The show is part of The Athletic's podcast network.
