Zlatan Ibrahimović har gjort succé som expert i FOX Sports VM-sändningar och blivit en av turneringens stora tv-profiler. Men hur stor är han egentligen i USA? Varför fungerar han så bra framför kameran? Och har han kanske hittat sin verkliga karriär efter spelarlivet, snarare än i sin ledarroll i AC Milan? Makoto Asahara gästar podden och reder ut Zlatans oväntade andra akt.

England are still alive at the World Cup, but only just, and as the tournament properly gets going, Thomas Tuchel's big selection calls are starting to look a little more uncomfortable. We'll get into that, before heading to Wimbledon where Serena Williams' return gave the tournament the talking point it probably needed, and the players' prize money protest raises the obvious question: if you're going to strike, are you actually prepared to hurt the event? We dive into one of sport's great untouched properties in the Tour de France and the strange economics of cycling. Then we finish with AC Milan, RedBird, Ibrahimović, a huge debt refinancing, and whether one of Europe's great clubs is actually a bigger mess than it looks and we have ourselves a breakdown.And if you're wondering why we haven't mentioned the England cricket disaster, don't worry, that one is getting the full treatment over on Substack.Disclaimer:The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.

Hey, soccer fans! Still waiting on Robert Lewandowski transfer news? In this episode, Nick presents his conspiracy theory as to why the potential signing has not yet been announced. It involves everything from a large Hugo Cuypers transfer feee to a departing Jonathan Bamba, and from a Leon Goretzka move to not sharing the spotlight with the World Cup and USMNT at the instruction of MLS league offices and Don Garber. Nick also discusses the transfer rumors surrounding USA players Christian Pulisic - who has been linked with a move from AC Milan to New York City FC; Matt Freese - who's been rumored to have interest from English clubs; Tyler Adams - who's on the radar of Manchester United and Chelsea FC; and others.

This is Clarence Seedorf as you've rarely seen him before - thoughtful, uncompromising and still analysing the game with the same intensity that defined his playing career.Seedorf joins Rio at his Airbnb in Los Angeles and delivers a fascinating assessment of the current World Cup, explaining why England fans are often too tense watching their team, why Jude Bellingham reminds him of an old-school footballer, the one personality trait he'd love to see Declan Rice add to his game and why Elliot Anderson is worth £100m. He also discusses the Netherlands' chances of winning the tournament, whether Virgil van Dijk belongs amongst the greatest Dutch defenders ever and the reasons why the modern game is producing fewer creative players compared to previous generations.There's brilliant insight into some of the biggest stars in football too, with Seedorf defending Cristiano Ronaldo's place in Portugal's team, explaining why Kylian Mbappé hasn't yet reached his ceiling and sharing stories about the extraordinary talent of Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo Nazário Fenômeno. He reveals why R9 was capable of things even team-mates never saw in matches, compares different types of elite strikers and explains why football sometimes underestimates players who make those around them better.The conversation also revisits some pivotal moments from Seedorf's own career, including the phone call that convinced him to turn down Manchester United and sign for Inter Milan instead. He reflects on the values that made Ajax's academy so successful, why character-building was prioritised alongside technical ability and why he believes modern coaching can sometimes limit a young player's freedom to think for themselves.There's also brilliant insight into the legendary AC Milan dressing room, what made Paolo Maldini the most complete defender he ever saw, the battles that side had with Rio's Manchester United in the Champions League and why some of football's most important players never receive the recognition they deserve.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb Hosted on Acast.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros kick off the show with six spicy World Cup predictions that could either make them look like geniuses or get them roasted by fans. Alexis predicts that Canada will fail to beat Switzerland, Kylian Mbappé will break the World Cup scoring record and England will advance despite failing to hit top gear. Christian counters with bold calls of his own, including Cape Verde reaching the knockout rounds, Uruguay crashing out of the tournament and Lionel Messi starring in Argentina's final group-stage match. Next, The Cooligans preview the USMNT's final group-stage game against Türkiye and debate how Mauricio Pochettino should approach what feels like a glorified friendly. Should Matt Freese keep his place? Does Christian Pulisic need minutes to stay sharp? And can Gio Reyna play his way into the starting lineup for the knockout rounds? The guys also discuss Folarin Balogun's likely summer transfer and make their cases for AC Milan and Barcelona as potential destinations. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis react to Cristiano Ronaldo's historic two-goal performance that made him the oldest player ever to score a World Cup brace and the first player to score in six different World Cups. They also break down England's frustrating draw against Ghana and explain what changes the Three Lions need to make moving forward, before previewing the latest action in Group C as the tournament heads toward the knockout stages.

This is Kaká as you rarely see or hear him - one of football's most private superstars sitting down in Rio's Airbnb for a remarkably open reflection on a career that made him a global icon and one of the last true Ballon d'Or winning number 10s.The Brazilian legend opens up about the swimming pool accident that nearly ended his journey before it had even begun and why his faith became even stronger after what doctors described as a “miracle” recovery.Despite becoming one of the biggest stars in world football, Kaká remains remarkably humble throughout this conversation - discussing how his family kept him grounded and why his mentality was completely different to Cristiano Ronaldo's obsession with becoming “the best”.He also gives rare insight into the legendary AC Milan dressing room under Carlo Ancelotti, including how Pirlo, Gattuso and Seedorf helped shape him into a Ballon d'Or winner and why Pirlo could “find him anywhere” on the pitch.The conversation leads into a fascinating discussion around the disappearance of classic number 10s in modern football, with Kaká explaining why the game no longer creates enough space for maverick players to thrive. He names Cole Palmer as his favourite English player to watch because of the freedom and simplicity in his game, while also revealing that Lamine Yamal and Neymar still excite him in a way most modern footballers don't.There are also brilliant stories around Ronaldo, Neymar and Brazil's dressing room culture - while Kaká explains why Ancelotti is the perfect manager to lead Brazil into the World Cup and why players instantly trust his leadership.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad Hosted on Acast.
