22,137...Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher alongside him to look back on Chelsea's opening Club World Cup victory, beating LAFC 2-0 in a much less than half empty Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.We discuss the bizarre atmosphere inside an arena that's intended to house 71,000 raucous spectators - analyse the contributions of Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap who'll be vying for that starting No. 9 position - and the balance of the team with Enzo Fernandez having to be satisfied with a goal off the bench. Plus - a bonus bit of Olivier Giroud who has rather fond memories of his time at Stamford Bridge!Next up in the competition the Blues are off to Philadelphia to take on a Flamengo side who sit top of the table in the ongoing Brazilian Serie A - and are managed by Filipe Luís and have Jorginho amongst their ranks! Will it prove a step up in quality?And finally - get yourselves ready for the VisitMalta Weekender (!) at Stamford Bridge... we discuss the bizarre truncated pre-season that Enzo Maresca and the players are having to contend with with Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan lined up as opponents in the week before the start of the new Premier League season.We'll be back next week to look back on Chelsea's remaining CWC group games against Flamengo and ES Tunis as they look to secure safe passage to the next round of the competition and book a trip to Miami...

On the pod today, we take a look back at the joyous 2024-25 Conference League season, which ended in a Chelsea triumph, but featured many raucous, riveting, and memorable moments. It was a campaign for the UNDERDOG, and we revisit many of our favorites, including the incomparable NK Celje, the delicious Djurgårdens IF, and the fearless Jagiellonia Białystok, all of whom made deep tournament runs. We laud the newbies, too – FC Noah, The New Saints (TNS), and Larne FC – for their very competitive debuts in group-stage European football, as well as Shamrock Rovers for highlighting the quickly-ascending Irish league (and their 16-year old striker). We also tackle some of the biggest disappointments, including İstanbul Başakşehir and Heart of Midlothian (Hearts), and debate whether it's fair to include Fiorentina in this category. Finally, we pay tribute to the best games and goals of the campaign, before waxing poetic about the virtues of our precious Conference League. Cheers Enzo Maresca and all favorite underdogs!

Last year Greece's two biggest teams achieved big triumphs at the European level, with Panathinaikos winning the Euroleague in basketball, and Olympiakos winning the Conference League in soccer. While this year didn't deliver any major silverware, we stll saw important runs for both teams. At the same time, the Greek national team in soccer has many fans excited for what lies ahead as it sets out to qualify for next year's World Cup. Prof. Alex Kitroeff, a professor of history who also studies and writes extensively about Greek sports, joins Thanos Davelis as we look back at another Greek sports season to remember, from both major Greek teams making it to the final four of the Euroleague to the Greek national soccer team raising expectations ahead of the World Cup.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Reds wrest Greek basketball throne from Greens Olympiakos finishes third in EuroleagueFour Greek talents among world's most experienced young soccer playersGreece's ‘nouvelle vague' sinks the Scots in GlasgowIsraeli Strikes Wipe Out Iran's Top Military Chain of CommandGreece to hold emergency security meeting following Middle East escalationBipartisan bill aims to strengthen US-Cyprus security partnership

Forest step into the Crystal Palace and UEFA feud as they contact them directly! For Exclusive Content Join FFTV Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ForestFanTV Forest Fan TV dropped an electrifying update breaking down Nottingham Forest's potential path to the Europa League for the 2025-26 season, sparked by Crystal Palace's clash with UEFA over multi-club ownership rules. Reports indicate Palace, who earned a Europa League spot via their FA Cup win, face exclusion due to co-owner John Textor's 43% stake through Eagle Football, which also controls Lyon, another Europa League qualifier. UEFA's strict regulations bar clubs with shared ownership from competing in the same tournament, and with Lyon's higher Ligue 1 finish (6th) trumping Palace's 12th-place Premier League standing, Palace's spot is in jeopardy, potentially paving the way for Forest to step up. According to The Times, Nottingham Forest and their owner, Evangelos Marinakis, have seized the moment, directly engaging UEFA to highlight concerns over Palace's eligibility while advocating for Forest's promotion from the Europa Conference League to the Europa League. Marinakis, who also owns Olympiacos, sidestepped similar ownership issues by placing his Forest shares in a blind trust before UEFA's March 1 deadline, ensuring compliance when both clubs were in European contention. Palace's late attempt to mirror this move was rejected, leaving them vulnerable. If UEFA rules against Palace, Forest, who secured a Conference League spot with a 7th-place Premier League finish, stand ready to claim the Europa League berth, with Brighton likely filling Forest's Conference League slot. #nffc #crystalpalace #premierleague Learn more about your ad choices.

Newcastle are again looking to tempt Forest in selling £50m rated winger Elanga! To Buy Wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for a sizzling transfer update as Newcastle United reignite their interest in Nottingham Forest's star winger, Anthony Elanga. After Forest rejected a £35m bid from the Magpies on Deadline Day last summer, recent reports indicate Newcastle are back, with Forest holding firm on a valuation exceeding £50m. Wolfie dissects whether Forest should consider cashing in on the 23-year-old Swedish speedster, who bagged five goals and nine assists last season, or if keeping him is crucial for Nuno Espírito Santo's European ambitions. With Elanga's pace and popularity in the squad, is £50m+ enough, or should Forest demand more for their key man? The transfer saga doesn't stop there! Wolfie also dives into the implications of Evangelos Marinakis' recent boardroom moves. Last month, Marinakis placed his Forest shares in a blind trust to comply with UEFA's dual-ownership rules, as his other club, Olympiacos, secured a Champions League spot. With Forest now likely settling for Europa League or Conference League football, Marinakis can retake full control of the club, potentially influencing transfer strategy. Wolfie explores how this change could shape Forest's approach to Elanga's future and their summer spending plans, especially with the allure of European football on the horizon. Should Forest sell Elanga to fund a squad overhaul, or is he too vital to let go? With Newcastle circling and Marinakis back at the helm, the summer transfer window promises to be a blockbuster for Forest.

Barry Murphy fills in for Gar this week where the only goal in Tallaght he got to commentate on was the Walking Football. Baz gives his mid-season report and talks all sorts of topics such as signing for Roddy in 2005 and cheques starting to bounce, a friendly win at Sunderland in 2007 under Pat Scully, Josh Honohan, Don Patricio, and all our potential European opponents in the Conference League draw with the help of Shane Kavanagh and Ryan McDyer.

Have the chances of Nottingham Forest playing in the Europa League improved now? To Buy Wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for the latest Forest news update as we dive into the dramatic developments surrounding Crystal Palace's UEFA Europa League saga. In this video, Wolfie breaks down the outcome of Palace's crunch meeting with UEFA, where co-owner John Textor's proposal to place his shares in a blind trust was rejected due to a missed registration deadline. This decision has left Palace's European dreams hanging by a thread, with their multi-club ownership issues involving Textor's stakes in both Palace and Lyon creating a major hurdle. The rejection of Textor's blind trust plan has significantly limited Crystal Palace's options, with the club now facing the possibility of complete expulsion from European competitions. To make matters worse, another Palace shareholder, David Blitzer, has ties to Danish club Brøndby, who qualified for the Conference League, ruling out a potential demotion to that competition. Wolfie discusses how this chaotic situation has opened the door for Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League and secured a Conference League spot, to potentially be promoted to the Europa League if Palace are disqualified. With UEFA's decision expected before the Europa Conference League qualifying draw on June 17, the clock is ticking for Palace to find a solution, possibly through Textor selling his 43% stake. Wolfie explores what this means for Nottingham Forest's European ambitions, highlighting the improved chances of Nuno Espírito Santo's side stepping up to the Europa League. Could this be Forest's big break to shine on the European stage? Tune in for Wolfie's insights, analysis, and thoughts on how this could shape Forest's season.

Send us a textThis week's episode is packed with drama, disappointment, and a little bit of silverware (finally). We kick things off with STL City's 0-1 loss to Colorado—yes, we're now the third-worst team in MLS, and no, we haven't won a league game since March 15th. It's getting bleak out here.Then it's on to the Europa League Final, where Spurs beat United 1-0. Ange Postecoglou gets his flowers (and some wild photos), Spurs lift their first-ever trophy, and they're heading to the Champions League. Meanwhile, United's corner of the podcast has officially been renamed: “No European Football Corner.”In the Premier League, Chelsea beat Forest 1-0 in a sloppy but dominant performance. The energy was there, the vibes were immaculate, and Champions League football is back. And yes, if Chelsea win the Conference League, we're saying it: better season than Arsenal. Elsewhere, United beat Villa 2-0—though some say Villa were robbed—and Everton stunned Newcastle 1-0.We wrap with a look ahead to the Champions League Final on Saturday: PSG vs Inter—we've got predictions, hot takes, and maybe a few jabs. Plus, the Conference League Final is set: Chelsea vs Real Betis. Can the Blues end the season with a trophy?Tune in for all the chaos, celebration, and classic footy banter!As we finished this episode, the news dropped that St. Louis City SC has released Head Coach Olof Mellberg and current City 2 Head Coach David Critchley will assume first team manager responsibilities..... its almost like we called it.

Recorded earlier on Monday, Jimbo assembles Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle as the Euro gang sign off for the summer in style. There's only one place to start - and the dramatic events on Friday night in Serie A as Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku were on the scoresheet as Napoli tasted Scudetto glory amid jubilant scenes inside the Maradona and on the streets of Naples. Inter will be hoping to put the disappointment of missing out on the title behind them as they prepare to face PSG in Saturday's Champions League final. The French champions warmed up for the occasion by cruising to a 3-0 victory over Reims in the Coupe de France. So - who'll come out on top in Munich?The curtain closed on the La Liga season this weekend with emotional goodbyes for Carlo Ancelotti & Luka Modrić as their time at Real Madrid came to an end with a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad. Barcelona wrapped up their domestic treble-winning season with a comfortable victory at Athletic Bilbao - while Real Betis prepare for Wednesday's Conference League final against Chelsea… And over in Germany, the Pokal fairytale wasn't to be for Arminia Bielefeld as Stuttgart ended their 18-year wait for a trophy with a 4-2 victory over their third-division opponents. Plus, the big news out of Leverkusen is that Erik ten Hag is back! Produced by Lucy Oliva.RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.50)• PART 2: Serie A review - MVP McTominay guides Napoli to glory (08.30)• PART 3: Coupe de France review - and Champions League final preview (23.45)• PART 4: La Liga review - Emotional farewells to Don Carlo & Luka Modrić & Conference League final preview (34.30)• PART 5: DFB-Pokal review - and ten Hag's in at Leverkusen!

We're in Bilbao this week, and it's got us thinking. How does a football club that refuses to sign non-Basque players manage to qualify for the Champions League, raking in close to €100 million from TV rights, match days, and UEFA money, while Dublin's best bet is a few fivers from the Conference League? The answer is in economics. The Basques were Europe's forgotten industrialists, the only region in Spain to undergo a full-blown Industrial Revolution, powered by local iron ore, steel production, and a shipbuilding boom that made Bilbao Spain's biggest port by 1900. Then they lost it all. Globalisation, China, and the EU opened the floodgates. Unlike post-industrial towns in the UK or Ireland, Bilbao didn't roll over. They moved the port. They built the Guggenheim. They chose ambition. And they proved that even a small, isolated, ancient people, who speak a pre-Ice Age language with no known relatives, can build a modern economy with global reach. What's our excuse? Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Second to last European final of the season on tap tomorrow as Real Betis faces Chelsea. Isco, who earned a call-up to the Spanish national team for the UEFA Nations League, is one of the key players to watch along with Antony. The winger on loan from Manchester United has been outstanding with 7 goal contributions in 8 Conference League matches since arriving in January. Manuel Pellegrini is coaching in his first European final in his illustrious career, Betis are playing in their first European final as well. Keep in mind, English clubs have lost their last nine European finals against Spanish opposition going back to Liverpool's 2001 UEFA Cup win over Alavés. Lots of potential injury issues for Betis, we'll get you updates hopefully tomorrow ahead of the match on a special Wednesday Morning Espresso. International break next week as World Cup qualifiers take center stage. Lots of eyes will be on Brazil playing their first matches under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership. He left Neymar out due to injury but did recall Casemiro. UEFA Nations League finals will also take place with Spain facing France in one semifinal and Portugal facing Germany in the other. Will that semifinal performance from Cristiano Ronaldo potentially earn him a move to play for a club in the Club World Cup? It might be possible after his social media posts yesterday, seemingly saying goodbye to Al Nassr after their season ended without major success. He's out of contract at the end of June and there's been whispers of interest from Brazilian clubs and Monterrey in bringing him in for the Club World Cup. It's going to grab all the tabloid headlines for sure. Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso are trying to get Trent Alexander-Arnold in for the Club World Cup, but Liverpool want a substantial sum to let him out of his contract a month early. Reports out of Spanish TV indicate that the asking price could be as high as $5M. Al Hilal are trying desperately to get Simone Inzaghi as their new manager, offering to make him the highest paid manager in the world. He has one more match with Inter this season, the Champions League final on Saturday. He wasn't absolutely committed to continuing with the Italian club afterwards, saying that "certain conditions" needed to be met first. Another subplot to watch ahead of the Club World Cup. In Italy as Napoli continues to celebrate their Serie A title, they might be adding a key piece for next season while saying goodbye to someone else. Kevin de Bruyne is reportedly close to joining Napoli on a free from Manchester City. But he'll have a new manager to work for, as it looks like Antonio Conte is set to leave the club and Max Allegri is the leading name mentioned as his successor. Even in successful times, it's never quiet in Naples. For more news today and conversation, check out the video edition on YouTube or the audio on Spreaker. See y'all tomorrow for another edition of the Morning Espresso. Listen to Atlanta Soccer Tonight this evening on 92.9 The Game & the Audacy app starting at 10pm.
