Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about MLB franchise appreciation, Stat Blast about what the resurgence of three-inning saves and the expanding distribution of saves say about pitcher usage, and learn about a new baseball injury. Then (43:28) they bring on Lindsay Imber of Close Call Sports and the official scorer behind the MLB Scoring Changes account to explain the “fourth-out” rule that confused fans and players this week and to pick nits with the MLB rulebook.

P.M. Edition for Aug. 12. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger and investor Joshua Kushner are buying the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion—the highest-ever valuation for any sports team. WSJ sports reporter Andrew Beaton discusses the sale, which he calls a “stunning twist.” Plus, inflation cooled slightly last month to 3.4%. Journal economics reporter Matt Grossman joins to talk about what it could mean for the Federal Reserve. And ticket reseller StubHub reported record revenue, thanks in part to this summer's World Cup. But as retail reporter Hanna Krueger details, both during and well before the World Cup, some fans were disappointed when the tickets they bought on StubHub didn't work and they faced lengthy fights to get their money back.

Ben Curtis is Global Brand Vice President of Sure/Rexona at Unilever, and is just back the US where he ran the brand's first-ever Men's World Cup as a FIFA official partner. He came on Unofficial Partner before the tournament to talk about what he was walking into; this is the debrief — what worked, what didn't, and what a global personal-care brand actually gets for the money, from the armpit branding on the fourth official's board (a Rexona first at a World Cup) to the New York activation built around creators rather than TV spots.Joining him is Mayowa Quadri, head of brand at the football-and-culture publisher Versus, a creator and consultant who worked on Rexona's campaign from the other side of the table. What does a global brand actually get for a World Cup sponsorship? Ben breaks down how Rexona measured return in near-real time — from brand mentions, to creator content earning 10x that, to cultural moments running into the millions of engagements — and where the brand ranked against Adidas and Coca-Cola.Was the fourth-official armpit branding a gimmick or a strategy? The Rexona sign held up at every substitution was a World Cup first. Ben argues it's a durable strategic position rather than a one-off joke; Richard presses on whether the idea has legs beyond its novelty.How much of the marketing budget now goes to creators rather than TV? Ben's answer is the headline number: a decisive swing away from traditional advertising in the space of a single World Cup cycle.Has the way we consume a World Cup fundamentally changed? Mayowa on clip culture, the Americanisation of the tournament, and a younger audience watching through creators and streamers rather than buying broadcast packages — and why broadcasters are now behaving like creators themselves.What makes a brand-creator relationship work, and when does it fail? Both sides on the shift from prescriptive deliverables to briefing intent, the trust a brand has to extend, and the fast route to losing an audience by looking like you've sold out.Is football still a sport, or is it now a culture? Mayowa's case that the footballer is a human being with interests beyond the 90 minutes — and how brands are buying into fashion, music and identity rather than match results.What is the media agency actually for now? How Unilever identifies communities and maps creators against them, the rise of nano-creators as word-of-mouth amplifiers, and why the direct brand-to-creator connection still matters.Can the controversies around FIFA stay 'priced in'? With Infantino in the headlines, whether the noise around the governing body touches the sponsors who fund it — and Mayowa's argument that player power, not sponsor pressure, is the variable that could actually move things.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Leagues Cup in Chaos: Mexico, CONMEBOL, and the Restructuring of North American FutbolLeagues Cup is imploding—but the real story goes much bigger. Jaime, Joel, and the panel dig into the politics reshaping CONCACAF, FIFA's power plays, and the rumors that could move Mexico out of North America entirely.At the center: speculation that Mexico could join CONMEBOL. We unpack how Gianni Infantino's leverage, Mexico's unusual loyalty to FIFA, and potential confederation realignment could rewrite the region's football map. Then we connect the dots—TV rights, federation power dynamics, World Cup qualifying implications—and ask the uncomfortable question: Is Mexico trapped in a confederation that needs it more than it wants to keep it?We also break down:* The Mexico U-20 title run and what it signals for the national team* Why Rafa Márquez's youth-watching role matters for Mexico's pipeline* The Leagues Cup disaster: Chivas' exit, travel chaos, officiating complaints, and why both Liga MX and MLS fans agree—nobody loves this tournament* Chivas' attacking problems and pressure on Gabriel Milito* Cruz Azul's cultural shift and what winning means for Liga MX's identityFor anyone following Mexican football beyond the score, this is the episode that connects the chaos, the politics, and the future moves nobody's talking about yet.

En Capital Intereconomía, la Tertulia Capital analiza la actualidad política, económica y tecnológica junto a Gonzalo Garnica, consultor empresarial; Juan Francisco Polo, senior advisor de FTI Consulting; y Carlos Tobías, abogado. Durante el debate ponemos el foco en la polémica en torno al Mundial de 2030. Analizamos las declaraciones de Donald Trump, que considera que una eventual destitución de Gianni Infantino al frente de la FIFA sería "un error terrible", y el debate político abierto en España después de que Vox haya anunciado su apoyo a la propuesta de Sumar para excluir a Marruecos de la organización del Mundial. También abordamos uno de los grandes debates económicos del momento: el enorme volumen de inversión necesario para desarrollar la inteligencia artificial. Analizamos la alianza de Nvidia con grandes firmas de Wall Street para captar 500.000 millones de dólares y nos preguntamos hasta qué punto es sostenible el ritmo de gasto que está exigiendo la carrera por liderar la IA y qué impacto puede tener sobre las valoraciones de las grandes compañías tecnológicas. Además, ponemos el foco en el manifiesto lanzado por Mark Zuckerberg para defender un desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial con menos barreras en Occidente. El CEO de Meta advierte de los riesgos que supondría que una única entidad o país concentrase demasiado poder sobre esta tecnología y reclama un modelo que favorezca una mayor apertura y competencia. Por último, analizamos la preapertura de las bolsas con Pablo García, director de Divacons-AlphaValue, que repasa las principales referencias empresariales, macroeconómicas y geopolíticas que marcarán el inicio de la sesión en los mercados europeos.

WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

»Undskyld«. Sådan skrev Gianni Infantino sidste uge i et brev efter et krisemøde i det internationale fodboldforbund Fifa. Og det er nye toner fra fodboldens ubestridte konge. Krisemødet blev holdt efter en sønderlemmende kritik af Infantinos plan om at lade udefrakommende pengemænd købe sig ind i Fifa. En plan, der røg tilbage i skuffen efter trusler fra især det europæiske fodboldforbund UEFA om helt at droppe næste VM. For fodboldfans verden over lød det, at planen om at lukke investorer ind i Fifa ville dræbe fodboldens ånd. Og undskyldningen er slet ikke nok for Uefa, som holder fast i sin mistillid til Fifa-præsidenten. Men hvorfor er de egentlig så bange for at fodboldens ånd kan forsvinde - hvad handler fodboldens ånd om - og er den ikke for længst skyllet væk af de milliarder og atter milliarder, som international fodbold længe har været fedtet ind i? Det fortæller Søren-Mikael Hansen om i dette afsnit af ‘Du lytter til Politiken’. Han har været sportsjournalist og sportsredaktør her på Politiken igennem årtier. Og han elsker fodbold.

El episodio 122 llegó con secretos, conspiraciones y oportunidades que nadie está viendo.Arrancamos con el Mundial. Lucas no puede aceptar que Argentina jugó mal y eligió creer en todas las teorías conspirativas. La más elaborada: un pacto entre Infantino, la UEFA y los Kushner donde Argentina se dejó perder a cambio de no sancionar a la AFA y darle el negocio de la FIFA a un nuevo vehículo de inversión valuado en 20 billones. La lógica detrás de Thrive, el fondo de Kushner, es fascinante: creen que con AI el mundo digital se va a saturar y el futuro está en las experiencias en vivo. Deportes y conciertos primero.Después viene el dato que nadie dice en voz alta: una de las fintechs más grandes y conocidas de Latinoamérica hace una parte importante de su plata con apuestas online y pornografía. Está vista como una fintech innovadora. El negocio real es otro.También hablamos de la ronda semilla más grande de la historia de LatAm: 85 millones de dólares para Decade Wealth, fundada por el ex-CTO de Nubank, con Benchmark como lead. Un movimiento que apuesta a democratizar la banca privada en la región donde históricamente fue terrible.Luego el debate sobre emprender después de los 50. Jeff Dean, empleado número 30 de Google y responsable de DeepMind, Gemini y TensorFlow durante 27 años, acaba de anunciar que se va a emprender. La conclusión: los mejores emprendedores de 50 son los que llegaron al máximo en su campo, no los que recién arrancan.Mickey Malka, uno de los inversores más importantes de LatAm, publicó su nueva tesis de inversión de 40 páginas. Su diagnóstico: el mundo se quedó sin energía para soportar la AI. Su apuesta: generación, almacenamiento, traslado y comercialización de energía son el próximo gran mercado. El mismo que fue fintech, ahora va por la energía.Cerramos con 7 oportunidades concretas que AI está abriendo para emprender: soledad, desconexión, longevidad, nuevas necesidades de la vejez, micromercados ultra específicos y el tiempo libre que la AI va a generar. Una lista para guardarse.

Gianni Infantino appears to have lost his battle to open up the World Cup to private equity, but will he be able to stay in charge of FIFA? Luke Littler has made some bold claims about being the best young athlete in the world, and Frank and Eddie discuss whether darts players are athletes, and how he would fare in the internet challenges against Mo Farah and Joey Chestnut.  The Akron Zips have decided to let a fan coordinate their script for their home opener, but will stick with the fans if the campaign goes well? Is Baker Mayfield right to be frustrated by his contract negotiations with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and were the 49ers right to bring Deebo Samuel back? Plus, Eddie thinks he's seen everything he needs to see about 'Obsession', but Frank thinks he's missing out. Will the final question from Celebrity Jeopardy stump Eddie? And is 'From' a better version of 'Lost'?  

This wide release of last week's special live edition of Goal Own Goal goes from the FIFA Forward enterprise plan and the sheer chaos around Infantino's latest power play to a properly sharp discussion about what football has become, who it is really for, and what happens when the game starts treating itself like a financial product. With Charlie Methven and John Colquhoun joining Grant and Roger, the conversation cuts through the buzzwords to look at the deal itself, the commercial logic, the dodgy politics around it, and the bigger question of whether the sport still has any sense of dignity left in the room.

Scientists from Stanford University call the creation of new viruses by Artificial Intelligence a "significant turning point" which could revolutionise medicine with new drugs and treatments. It is the first time whole genomes have been successfully designed by AI. Critics worry that the new technology might cause harm.

The White House denies the US has a shortage of some weapons because of the Iran war. A former Governor in Mexico has been arrested, accused of tampering with evidence, in connection with the disappearance of 43 students in 2014. A BBC investigation has found that animal dewormer and a drug used to treat scabies are being sold and promoted as unproven cancer treatments. The sister of Meredith Kercher criticises a comedy show by Amanda Knox, who was convicted and later acquitted of her murder. And UEFA, which governs European football, says a boycott of competitions may still go ahead despite the backing of Gianni Infantino by FIFA.

Over 70,000 migrants try crossing into Spain, the US is running out of precision missiles, and Jared Kushner's brother almost bought FIFA.Tommy and Ben break down the mass crossing of migrants from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and why right-wing politicians are frothing at the mouth over it. While Trump's ultimatums and claims of a deal on Iran make us all feel like it's Groundhog Day, reports that the US has burned through virtually all of its precision strike missiles and that Iranian hackers have infiltrated water systems in at least seven states are genuinely alarming. Trump announces a "historic" Gaza disarmament deal, but Hamas says he's lying, the guys explain why the Japanese yen is suddenly America's problem, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino's corrupt plan to sell off the most lucrative parts of the World Cup might cost him his job. Finally, the State Department displays an inaccurate map of Africa at an international AIDS conference, and a Spider-Man screening in Cartagena is evacuated due to a gassy incident of epic proportions. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks with Casey Michel, author of United States of Oligarchy: How America's Wealthiest Ally with Dictators, Weaken the U.S., and Destroy Democracy, about our home-grown oligarchs, why they pose a threat to national security, and what to do about it.Hate listening to ads?
