On the podcast today, the panel discusses the absurd scenes in Charlotte as Chelsea’s Club World Cup clash with Benfica was delayed nearly two hours due to lightning, before going to extra time and finishing more than four hours after it kicked off. Enzo Maresca declared “it’s not football”, while Jürgen Klopp called the competition “pointless”. The panel considers the implications of this ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Elsewhere, Chelsea carry on business as usual – signing João Pedro and Jamie Gittens as their squad of wingers grows ever larger. PSG dismantle Messi’s Inter Miami, Bayern and Kane see off Flamengo, and Manchester City hit five past Juventus.
Plus: England Under-21s win the Euros again – is Lee Carsley the future? Sunderland splash out, Pogba sheds tears, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is up for grabs?
Also, the Women’s Euros kick off this week, your questions answered, and a heatwave hits Seb’s sheep.
