David Webb was until very recently Assistant Coach at Georgia national team and has worked with some of the most talented players in world football — including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the PSG sensation taking European football by storm. In this episode David talks about one of the most important and challenging questions in elite coaching — how do you challenge the very best players in the world while still ensuring every player in the squad is catered for? It's a conversation that gets to the heart of individual development. How do you raise the ceiling for your elite players without raising the floor too high for everyone else? How do you keep the best hungry while keeping the rest engaged? David's experience at the highest level of international football gives him a unique perspective on this — and his answers will challenge how you think about developing players at any level. This podcast is part of the Developing The Game Changer series — conversations with some of the best coaches in world football about individual player development. If you want to go deeper into the individual development methodology behind this series — my Developing The Game Changer masterclass is now available to every coach for the first time. The same presentation delivered to Aston Villa, Brighton, Chicago Fire, the Hong Kong Football Association and the Premier League Academy Coaches Conference at Old Trafford — at £39.

C'était le premier match de la Coupe du monde et le premier match d'un pays africain, en l'occurrence l'Afrique du Sud, battue 2 à 0 par le Mexique. À Johannesburg, The Star constate les dégâts : « Le stade Azteca, temple du football, a été un véritable enfer pour les Bafana Bafana ». Et encore… « Le Mexique aurait pu l'emporter avec une marge plus importante, remarque le quotidien sud-africain. Par moment, le pays hôte a manqué d'efficacité, épargnant ainsi aux Bafana Bafana, une entrée en matière plus brutale, dans cette Coupe du monde, après 16 ans d'absence ». Un autre journal sud-africain, The South African, se montre réaliste : « Au niveau de la Coupe du monde, les erreurs élémentaires sont souvent sanctionnées, et les Bafana Bafana en ont commis beaucoup trop. Si le Mexique méritait la victoire, ajoute The South African, les Bafana Bafana seront déçus par la manière dont ils ont subi la défaite. Un jeu trop défensif, des erreurs coûteuses dans la conservation du ballon et un manque d'intention offensive, ont facilité la tâche des Mexicains ». Afrikfoot, de son côté, désigne Yaya Sithole « premier héros malheureux de la Coupe du monde 2026 », car « il a précipité la chute de l'Afrique du Sud dans ce match d'ouverture ». En première mi-temps, il est à l'origine du 1er but mexicain, laissant échapper le ballon près du but, et en 2ème mi-temps, raconte Afrikfoot, « il reçoit un carton rouge pour avoir empêché une occasion manifeste de but ». La déception des supporters ivoiriens La Coupe du monde, c'est du football bien sûr, mais pas seulement. Pour certains supporters africains, la fête est d'ores et déjà gâchée, car l'entrée sur le sol américain représente un véritable défi… Défi qu'il n'est pas toujours possible de relever. Ainsi, en Côte d'Ivoire, l'Infodrome nous apprend « que le Comité National de Soutien aux Eléphants, annonce qu'il ne pourra pas envoyer son contingent de supporters aux États-Unis. Raison invoquée, précise le site d'information ivoirien, l'impossibilité pour de nombreux supporters d'obtenir un visa d'entrée (…) Une situation qui suscite incompréhension et déception au sein du comité ». « Un véritable coup dur pour les supporters, ajoute l'Infodrome, mais aussi pour l'équipe nationale qui devra évoluer sans une partie importante de son soutien habituel dans les tribunes ». Le président du Comité National de Soutien aux Eléphants, Julien Kouadio Adonis, est amer : « L'État américain ne veut pas voir sur son sol les supporters de certains pays, dont la Côte d'Ivoire. Les États-Unis ont été clairs avec nous ». L'Infodrome, lui, espère, que la diaspora ivoirienne au Canada et aux États-Unis « prendra le relais, pour faire entendre la voix des Eléphants, et maintenir l'ambiance qui accompagne traditionnellement la sélection ivoirienne sur les grandes scènes du football mondial ». Solidarité de l'UEFA Lui, avait bien un visa, mais il n'a pas pu entrer sur le territoire américain. C'est l'arbitre somalien Omar Artan. « Agé de 34 ans, il figurait pourtant parmi les arbitres sélectionnés par la Fifa, précise Afrik.com. Son absence fait suite à une décision des autorités américaines, qui lui ont refusé l'entrée sur le territoire à son arrivée à Miami (…) les autorités n'ont pas détaillé les motifs précis de cette décision, mais on sait que la Somalie figure parmi les pays concernés par les restrictions migratoires renforcées ». Il n'empêche, la décision américaine a suscité une vague de protestations. Sur le continent africain, mais pas seulement. Ainsi, pour marquer son soutien à Omar Artan, l'UEFA, l'Union des Associations Européennes de Football, a désigné l'arbitre somalien « pour diriger la Supercoupe d'Europe qui opposera le Paris Saint germain à Aston Villa, le 12 août prochain à Salzbourg, en Autriche » nous explique le Soleil, à Dakar. Le quotidien sénégalais estime « que cette nomination constitue une marque de reconnaissance pour l'officiel somalien, considéré comme l'un des meilleurs arbitres africains de sa génération ».

The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.
The traditional The Assistant Professor of Football season round-up is back. I asked guests from this past year, and some from previous years whose clubs had remarkable seasons of one sort or the other how their clubs have fared, what moment stands out, and what song best embodies their club's vibe this past season. They are:Medea Voegeli, professional historian and historian of FC Thun, from episode 76. Thun are the utterly sensational champions of Switzerland this year — after just having been promoted — so Medea has a lot of good vibes to share.Then Paul Reidy, our English correspondent at Rayo Vallecano; that club portrait is episode 46. Rayo made it to the final of the best European club competition outside the Champions League, the Conference League. They lost against Crystal Palace, but this is their greatest success.Another finalist: SC Freiburg, from episode 49. Freiburg made it to the Europa League final. They also lost against an English team, Aston Villa. Patrick Bucher from the club's history working group has a lot of stories to tell from his days at the final in Istanbul.Next up is Alana McDougall, a historian at the University of Guelph in Canada who published a fabulous people's history of Liverpool and joined us in episode 72 — she's back to analyze a rather mixed season for them.Then Stefan Wally, a political scientist and Austria Salzburg aficionado, on that club in the second Austrian league. They earned promotion last year and absolutely held their own — including a derby with the Red Bull farm team that tried to finish them off.And last but not least: two teams who got relegated but also see some hope on the horizon, because their relegation has triggered — or at least coincides with — much-needed changes in ownership and leadership at their respective clubs: West Ham and 1860 Munich.West Ham were relegated from the Premier League, as I'm sure you know. That is my club in England, and Alex — who is hard at work organizing supporters for change and for atmosphere at West Ham — gives us his take. And 1860… well, never a dull day there. The Jordanian investor withheld funds, the club was forced to drop out of the third German league, and it looks like that means — freedom, finally, for 1860. Claus Melchior from 1860's section on club history will give us the download.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Dubioza Kolektiv - I am from Bosnia, Take me to America (new music video, YouTube)NEW: send me a text message!

Chilling with Rio in his Airbnb, Watkins reveals why he still thinks about those early days every time he walks out for Aston Villa in the Champions League.Despite becoming one of the Premier League's most consistent forwards, Watkins remains hugely grounded throughout this conversation - discussing the impatience that drove him early in his career, the responsibility he felt during Steven Gerrard's time at Aston Villa and why Unai Emery completely changed the standards and mentality within the squad.There's fascinating insight into the mentality of elite strikers too, including why Erling Haaland's role is “so difficult”, how studying Ruud van Nistelrooy helped develop his instincts inside the box and why Harry Kane's leadership is more about standards than shouting.Watkins also explains the challenge of being used as an impact substitute for England and reveals the voice note he sent to friends before his huge semi-final goal after growing frustrated on the bench.The pair also discuss Thomas Tuchel's arrival as England manager, why the squad are already buying into his demand for more arrogance and confidence, and how nobody in the camp can beat him at table tennis. Plus brilliant stories and insight on Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden and why Watkins believes criticism of Gareth Southgate was completely unfair.There's also a brilliant look into dressing room culture and player personalities - from fashion disasters in the France squad and ping-pong battles at England camp to why Michael Owen's advice means more than anybody else's and the underrated qualities that make Ezri Konsa such a difficult defender to play against.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad Hosted on Acast.

Gary and Micah review the Champions League final as Arsenal had their dreams dashed in a penalty shootout and PSG became only the second team to win the competition in back-to-back seasons Did the referee get the big penalty calls right? Was it a victory for PSG's style of football over Arsenal's attempt to rely on their defence? And what sort of player does Arteta need to add to his squad in order to go one better next season? We also react to the news of Liverpool deciding to part ways with Arne Slot and reportedly replace him with Andoni Iraola. Have they been harsh on Slot considering he won the Premier League just 12 months ago? Or are they getting a clear upgrade in Iraola after the brilliant job he did with Bournemouth this season?

The season is done. The trophy is in the cabinet. The top-four finish is banked - literally. And now — with the confetti swept and the open-top bus parked — it's time for the honest debrief.This week's episode is a free-form end of season conversation covering everything from the new 2026-27 home kit to Ollie Watkins' late-season renaissance, from the tipsy final day at Manchester City to the question that will define next season before it has even started: does this summer's transfer window signal genuine ambition or cautious consolidation?There's also the numbers. A set of statistics on Emery's Clipboard that reframes the entire 2025-26 narrative, and they're not entirely comfortable reading despite the trophy and the top-four finish. When you look at how Villa performed against the teams they should be beating, the picture is rather different from the one the league table tells.On pricing, the annual conversation takes a sharper turn. The normalisation of a 5% rise — supporters beginning to treat it as expected — is identified as the real problem, not just the percentage itself.And the summer. What kind of signing changes the trajectory? What does a catalyst look like? Why does it matter for the players already in the building, not just the ones arriving?Europa League winners. Fourth in the Premier League. A UEFA Super Cup against PSG on the horizon. The MOMS end of season conversation has a great starting point.UTVListen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Check out all the 2026-27 home kit options and new training range, hereBecome a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.
