The Asian Game - Football through an Asian lens.
Join host Ryan Walters as he goes into the tunnel with players in the ultimate 'what if' scenario: seconds away from walking onto the pitch for a World Cup Final. As their career flashes before their eyes, they discuss the matches, milestones, moments, mistakes, and people that shaped who they are.
This is football in full life, in full vision. This is Tunnel Vision.
In this episode, Ryan welcomes Kuala Lumpur City captain and Malaysia international Paulo Josué. Perhaps the most City of the City Boys, Paulo arrived in Malaysia chasing an opportunity and ended up finding a second home. More than a decade later, he's become one of the most recognisable faces in Malaysian football, with a career that's taken him from the second division to continental finals and the national team.
They dive into:
How a Brazilian midfielder found his home in Cheras
KL City's rise, FA Cup triumph and memorable AFC Cup run
Representing Malaysia and coming up against Son Heung-min
Why Paulo believes Arif Aiman belongs in Europe
Neymar, Pelé, Messi and some of football's bigger personalities
From the early uncertainty of leaving Brazil to becoming a Malaysian international, this is a conversation about loyalty, finding your place in football and the unexpected turns that can make a career.

The International Window | When does winning in Southeast Asia stop being enough?
Southeast Asia has just staged two regional international tournaments within little more than a month.
But does the region really need both?
On the first episode of The International Window, Scott McIntyre is joined by Keeshanan Sundaresan and Dez Corkhill to examine where the traditional ASEAN Championship and the new FIFA ASEAN Cup fit into an increasingly crowded international calendar.
Why do these tournaments still matter so much to the region? Should Southeast Asia's leading nations be looking beyond their own neighbourhood for stronger competition? And if two tournaments are going to coexist, do they need fundamentally different purposes?
The panel also discusses the growing use of naturalised and heritage players across Southeast Asia, Indonesia's evolution ahead of the Asian Cup, the prospects of Vietnam and Thailand, the challenges facing the region's developing nations and why stronger domestic leagues ultimately remain essential to genuine progress.
The International Window is The Asian Game's monthly podcast dedicated to national team football across Asia - looking beyond the results to the bigger issues shaping the international game.

The Asian Game Podcast | AFC Nations League: Is this what Asian football needs?
The Asian Game Podcast is back - with a new look, a new sound and a renewed focus on the biggest questions shaping football across Asia.
For our first episode of this new era, Scott McIntyre is joined by Michael Church, Martin Lowe and Paul Williams to unpack the AFC's proposed Nations League and what it could mean for international football across the continent.
Could more meaningful matches and promotion and relegation help Asia close the competitive gap? Or would a tiered system create new barriers for developing nations and limit the opportunities of Asia's best teams to test themselves against the global elite?
From World Cup qualification and the future of Asia's smaller nations to competitive balance, global exposure and whether the continent simply needs more football, the team asks the fundamental question:
Will the AFC Nations League make Asian football better - or simply bigger?
