Ep. 4: Sportsnet’s James Sharman on his rise as a pundit, the future of Canadian soccer, and Big Sam

On this episode I was joined by Sportnet’s football guru James Sharman to talk about his path from a student at Ryerson to being a national football tv analyst — with lots of tips for up-and-coming journalists along the way. We also discussed the state of journalism and what needs to change, the state of Canadian soccer and where it’s headed, Joe Allen’s price tag, Raul barely missing out on Spain’s golden generation, and the inflated value of Paul Pogba and Andre Gomes before taking questions on Twitter.
