Rog and Rory recap all the action from the Club World Cup live after Seattle Sounders 0-2 PSG. Plus, they discuss how interested they've been in the tournament, fan attendance, how much this means to South American supporters, Gianni Infantino's not so small ego, the gap between MLS and Europe, and they take listener calls.

A tournament straight from the mind of Gianni Infantino is (predictably) a bit of a mess – but is the Club World Cup a totally lost cause, or is there a version of it that might actually work?Pete tells Marcus and Luke why the whole thing reminds him of the bizarre new Sprite and tea combo.

Angesichts der Weltnachrichten freut sich Fritz Eckenga, dass man umschalten kann. Denn irgendwo auf der Welt ist immer Fußball. Im Moment zum Beispiel die Club-WM in den wunderbaren USA. Die Freude darüber ist so groß, dass Eckenga fast ins Schwärmen über eine Lichtgestalt namens Infantino gerät. Von Fritz Eckenga.

Sportlich mag die Klub-WM irrelevant sein, für den Fußball aber steht viel auf dem Spiel. Über die Beweggründe von Fifa-Präsident Infantino, die Rolle Saudi-Arabiens und wer am meisten profitiert.

PRESS REVIEW – Monday, June 16: The conflict between Iran and Israel features on many front pages and is widely debated in the inside pages. Also, the controversial FIFA Club World Cup continues to make headlines, but perhaps not for the right reasons. Next, MI6 appoints a female head for the first time in 116 years. Finally, German soldiers get a telling-off for causing "romantic strife". The conflict between Israel and Iran continues to rage on, and features on many front pages this Monday morning. The Jerusalem Post leads with a photo of the destruction following a strike in the residential neighbourhood of Bat Yam. Iran Daily has photos of the aftermath of an Iranian strike on an Israeli power station in Haifa. Tehran Times, meanwhile, highlights the civilian victims of Israel's latest strikes on Iran. The Lebanese paper L'Orient-Le Jour points the finger at US President Donald Trump. French daily Libération says it is a "dynamic of the worst", saying it is in the interest of both parties to continue the conflict in order to stay in power. L'Humanité takes a clear stance on its front page, calling the conflict Benjamin Netanyahu's war without limits. The Guardian has an opinion piece by Simon Tisdall. He says that the behaviour of the three leaders involved in the war – Trump, Netanyahu and Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei – raises serious doubts about their judgment, common sense, motives and even their sanity. The New York Times, meanwhile, says that diplomacy with Iran is damaged but not dead. Foreign Policy discusses how the war might end. It says that darker scenarios are most likely, including a potential regional war. The past weekend has been a busy one for football fans after the launch of FIFA's controversial Club World Cup. The tournament is making headlines, but not for the best reasons. The Telegraph headlines with "Bayern thrash team of forklift drivers and fizzy drinks salesmen 10:0 in FIFA farce". Meanwhile, The Times reports that the Professional Footballers Association has joined a legal action against FIFA for abuse of power. In the UK, the Financial Times reports that Britain's foreign intelligence agency MI6 has appointed its first woman leader – a first in the organisation's 116-year history. Meanwhile in Germany, soldiers can now be punished for having an affair with each other's spouses because of the "danger of romantic strife eroding morale", as The Times reports. You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Dall’aspetto economico ci spostiamo sul campo. Franco Vanni, inviato negli Usa per Repubblica, ci racconta il calcio d’inizio del nuovo torneo voluto da Gianni Infantino: esordio con uno scialbo 0-0 tra Al Ahly e Inter Miami.Spazio anche al basket: ieri sera Bologna si è aggiudicata la gara 2 della finale Scudetto contro Brescia. Sentiamo Guido Bagatta.Chiudiamo con la Formula 1 e con Umberto Zapelloni. Dopo le movimentate qualifiche di ieri sera, alle 20 è prevista la partenza del Gran Premio del Canada, con le Ferrari chiamate ancora a rincorrere.

In this episode, Alex is torn on what he feels about FIFA's Club World Cup. This is a new experiment that FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, hopes will expand the international soccer market and make FIFA more money. Alex talks about how players are exhausted and not excited about the cup, sponsors have pulled out, and Saudi money is infused in the broadcasting. Alex also notes that the cup is in the United States and the specter of Trump's immigration crackdowns lurks over it.

Sommerpause. Mal ein paar Tage die Füße ins Wasser halten. Die Welt 'nen guten Mann sein lassen. Einfach mal Gianni Infantino ignorieren. Ist das nicht schön? Haben wir uns das nicht alle verdient? Doch. Haben wir. Aber iwr waren natürlich trotzdem fleißig uns haben uns für den Sommer wieder Folgen ausgedacht, damit ihr nicht noch auf Entzug kommt. Wir machen mit den Hymnen weiter (MARCHONS!), gehen auch mal in die Verge, sprechen über Doping und Moral, haben Alltagsthemen und Serien dabei (also, naja, Enzo hatte es vergessen, aber irgendwann kommen wir schon drauf, versprochen) und... ach... ihr kennt das ja. Da kann das Thema schon mal schnell kippen. Am letzten(!) Montag ging es los mit einer neuen Hymnenfolge, und jetzt(!) am Montag tauchen wir in die spannende Welt der bis heute königstreuen Franzosen. Und den spannenden Erbkrieg (zwischen zwei Spaniern, glaube ich). Also, Freunde, vielleicht gibt's irgendwann im Sommer noch was spontanes, vielleicht auch nicht, aber drüben bei Patreon seid ihr auf jeden Fall versorgt. Regulär geht es weiter am 18.08. mit der traditionellen Trikotranking-Folge. Und noch ein kleiner Veranstaltungstipp: Am 02.08. gibt es ein kleines Hörertreffen unseres befreundeten Podcast "Wettbrötchen". Alles umsonst und draußen, Bier geht auf uns. Da könnt Ihr natürlich auch vorbei kommen. Yok Yok Eden, Frankfurt, irgendwann ab 19 Uhr. Wisst Ihr Bescheid. Viel Spaß! Werde auch DU Funfriend! Den drei90Shop. kennt Ihr ja. Mittlerweile gibt es auch einen drei90 Instagram-Account. Folgt uns auch gerne dort. drei90 via itunes abonnieren drei90 via Feedburner abonnieren

Welcome dear listener to the podcast of Premier League Champions. I'm Paul and I am joined by Enrique and Daz. The season is over - well unless you ignore Gianni Infantino's narcissistic monstrosity taking pace here in the US in the next few months. We are going to do one of our look backs at the season, Being Champions, The Big Red Weekend, and maybe we'll start to look ahead as Liverpool seek to defend their title..Part One: Season highlights:Arne Slot - 26 games unbeatenWin over City in November - Guardiola's 6 fingers after we beat them 2-0 - yes we have won that many European cupsKelleher appeared in a ton of games October through December - Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Newcastle - Liverpool had no injuriesWeek 17 - Spurs 3, Liverpool 6 - 8 points clear with a game in handUnited home - the conditions were really awful.Matchweek 26 - Performance at City away - Mo:). Had not lost against us in 8 at the Emptihad before that.12 points ahead with 9 to play - loss to PSG and Newcastle. Team started playing with some fear.…..until Mac Allister scored against Spurs!! That day was joyous…Final game and the parade. Last time we 3 spoke, we'd just lost to ChelseaPart Two - Liverpool as Champions and the chasing pack‘Nobody expected this'. Well they got 82 points with a team decimated by injuries and handling the Jurgen emotion.VVD - imperious for the most part - more strikers trying to pressure him nowMo Salah - 29 Premier League goals plus 18 assists186 goals, one behind Andy Cole which will put him 4th early next season245 for Liverpool - 40 behind Roger Hunt in second placeArsenal's over-reliance on set-pieces, and their inability to defend them was quite a feature.

Avsnitt 479 av Sveriges nyfiknaste fotbollspodd gästas av Simon Åström. SvFF:s nya ordförande talar om första tiden som ansvarig, om att Fredrik Reinfeldt lämnade årsmötet utan att gratulera, om kritiken mot Åström som aldrig reserverade sig mot styrelsens beslut, om vad man söker i en ny generalsekreterare, om att styrelsen denna gång ska vara mer involverad i rekryteringen, om hur mycket förbundet skadats av turerna de senaste åren, om svaren från nya medarbetarundersökningar, om vad som är de viktigaste uppgifterna för SvFF och om varför man lägger ordförandekonferens i Schweiz snarare än i Sverige som varit billigare.Dessutom berättar Åström om de höga målen för damerna i EM, om betydelsen av att herrlandslaget tar sig till VM 2026, om det verkligen är ekonomisk kris i SvFF, om hur man löser konflikten mellan bredd och elit, om de tre komponenterna som ska göra Sverige till en bra fotbollsnation, om varför SvFF är passivt kring Israel i Gaza, om svårigheten när fotbollen blir mer politisk, om synen på Fifa och Gianni Infantino, om vem som äger svensk fotboll, om varför VAR-frågan parkerats, om krisen för den inhemska damfotbollen och om varför man bryter med Rune Hauge efter nästan 30 år.

Vindication – at last – for Marcus Speller and the Nations League! Spain and France had a nine-goal punch-up last night and what can only be described as an incredibly post-season number of shots (40).Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish discuss the game and turn their eyes to England's meeting with Andorra tomorrow, who – incidentally – are perhaps the only team in world football who might miss out on qualifying for next summer's 6-week long World Cup (more on that). We also hear about Gianni Infantino using himself as a number nine and narrow down the exact definition of Russell Martin's 'gothball'.Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

LAFC obtuvo el último boleto al Mundial de Clubes al vencer 2-1 al Club América en el BMO Stadium, con goles de Igor Jesus y Denis Bouanga. Brian Rodríguez había adelantado al América desde el punto penal. Steve Cherundolo dio crédito a su cuerpo técnico y a sus jugadores por el logro. Igor describió su gol como una bendición para él y su familia, mientras que Nathan Ordaz calificó el partido como una experiencia muy intensa. Gianni Infantino envió sus felicitaciones al LAFC por la histórica clasificación.

Die FIFA Klub-WM 2025 steht vor der Tür. Und wie immer, wenn Gianni Infantino ein neues Turnier aus dem Hut zaubert, gibt's eine Extraportion Wahnsinn dazu. 32 Teams, 12 Stadien, fünf Pokale und ein Regelwerk, das wirkt, als wär's beim Würfeln entstanden. In der aktuellen Episode versuchen wir eine Übersicht über bisherige und aktuelle Klub-Turniere zu schaffen. Zudem schauen wir uns das Teilnehmerfeld der Klub-WM 2025 etwa genauer an und klären z.B. warum Salzburg dabei ist und Barcelona nicht.

On this week's episode, Sinéad and Gavin look ahead to the biggest events of the summer, previewing storylines and the likely winners and losers. What the hell is Fifa's Club World Cup, and why is Gianni Infantino a collectible in the official sticker album? Can Rhasidat Adeleke or anyone else on Team Ireland win a global medal at the world athletics championships? Why do we all get so inexplicably caught up in the British and Irish Lions? Can Ireland actually win a quarter-final, this time, at the women's Rugby World Cup? And what kind of absurdity will break out at the Ryder Cup?Get in touch: email gavincooney@the42.ie and sinead@thejournal.ie Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Für die FIFA-Klub WM in den USA hat sich FIFA-Chef Gianni Infantino richtig ins Zeug gelegt. Er sucht nicht nur die Nähe zu Donald Trump, für Staatsbesuche mit dem US-Präsidenten lässt er auch mal den eigenen Verband stundenlang warten. Denn es geht ums Geld. Viel Geld. Und das besorgt Infantino in Saudi-Arabien. Fußballfans aus aller Welt fragen sich indes, wie sicher eine Reise in die USA für sie noch ist.

European members of the world soccer body FIFA staged a dramatic walkout at the world governing body's congress in Paraguay when President Gianni Infantino arrived late earlier this month. The Europeans accused Mr. Infantino of prioritising his personal political interests by attributing greater importance to meetings with US President Donald J. Trump in Qatar, the host of the 2022 World Cup, than to FIFA's highest decision-making body. Mr. Infantino was part of Mr. Trump's extended entourage on the president's three-nation Gulf tour, which also included visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. With their walkout, the Europeans highlighted a core problem with global sports governance that has dogged FIFA, the International Olympic Committee, and virtually all other global, regional, and national sports associations for decades: the insistence on the fiction that sports and politics are separate.

The 2026 World Cup is going to be different. Three host nations and 48 participating teams are perhaps the most notable changes to the tournament's format, but, as purveyors of all things soccer culture, one new addition has piqued our interest the most: a Super Bowl-style halftime show during the final. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called it a "can't-miss event," and many have speculated as to who is the right artist to perform. Including us. On the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast, we go through our picks to headline the landmark performance, from Drake to Taylor Swift and beyond. In addition, we get into some of our favorite kits from America's lower leagues, a conversation spurred by the new Forward Madison home kits that the club was kind enough to send us! Timestamps (01:15) Forward Madison's fantastic approach to lower league soccer (08:54) Our favorite kits from America's lower leagues (15:07) Potential US Open Cup upsets in the round of 32 (21:35) The lawsuit against the USWNT (25:28) Who should perform at the 2026 World Cup Final halftime show?

Jason and Jared are back together to talk about the big happenings in American soccer. Did Borussia Dortmund tell Gio Reyna to find a new club in the summer? The boys take a hard look at the unrealized American talent and try to figure out the best place for him to play. Then Jason and Jared consider the idea of Kevin De Bruyne in MLS and assess which of the four teams linked to the Manchester City midfielder needs him most. After that, BSS gets into the news that Gianni Infantino wants to hold a one-game playoff between LAFC and Club America for the right to join the field of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Fifa-president Gianni Infantino sê Amerika en die Verenigde Koninkryk is moontlike gasheerlande vir die Vroue-wêreldbeker in 2031 en 2035. Amerika is die enigste land wat gebie het vir die 2031-geleentheid, terwyl Engeland, Skotland, Wallis en Noord-Ierland se bod teen Maandag se sperdatum die enigste geldige een vir die 2035-toernooi was. Infantino sê hulle beplan om die Vroue-wêreldbeker teen 2031 tot 48 spanne uit te brei:

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.An auditor who worked for Barcelona for four days is the only one who included the €100million sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors and now that has been questioned by La Liga, which could lead to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations being in question. When you think this story is as ridiculous as it could possibly be, the scriptwriters find something else even more ridiculous to add into the mix. In reports filed from the previous auditor, who worked through sometime on December 31, and the unknown auditor who worked from December 31-January 3, and the next auditor who started on January 3 (we think)... only the unknown auditor had the sale included. That sale allowed Barcelona to have the additional salary cap space per La Liga rules to extend Olmo & Victor's registrations into 2025. But that sale either didn't happen, wasn't properly accounted for, or something else because it didn't show up on a subsequent financial report. Lots for the courts, league, and federation to sort out in Spain. And it affects a potential bid for a quadruple from Barcelona who are leading La Liga, won the SuperCopa, alive in the Champions League, and now into the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Real Madrid. Announced this morning, the bid led by the US (which might or might not include Mexico as a co-host) was the only one submitted by the deadline to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade that other Concacaf nations could be involved in hosting matches, something that has been reported recently here in the US. The 2035 tournament will be hosted by Great Britain as it was the only to submit a bid in time for that event. LAFC beat Inter Miami last night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, the first loss for the Herons in 2025 in all competitions. Nathan Ordaz with the goal in the second half, second leg is in Ft. Lauderdale next week. Chattanooga Red Wolves won the penalty shootout across town at Finley Stadium to knock Chattanooga FC out of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in the second round in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Over 12K were on hand for the game, 4th largest crowd in CFC history and their largest in a long time, 2nd largest in the 2nd round in the history of the USOC. Jose Mourinho did another ridiculous thing, which is becoming commonplace for him at this stage of his career. He grabbed the face of the opposing manager after yesterday's Turkish Cup match between his Fenerbahce & Galatasaray. The ridiculous actions seem to come on a bi-weekly basis for Mourinho at this stage, sad after one of the greatest careers for a manager in history but completely inexcusable to act in this manner. Liverpool defeated Everton yesterday 1-0, Everton should have had a player sent off for a horrendous challenge, but Liverpool's goal was controversial as well. Referees got it right according to how the rule is written, but I'm asking IFAB to consider changing the Laws of the Game to account for situations like this. When a pass is made for a player in an offside position, that should make them active in the play, regardless of whether they move for the ball or not. Defenders have to play the ball in that situation because they don't know if the player is offside from their vantage point. The defender shouldn't be punished for playing that ball by that action allowing the offside player to be now in an onside position. Luis Diaz was onside according to the letter of the LOTG, but not the spirit in my opinion and this should be changed going forward in interpretation. 

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse shared thoughts on Gianni Infantino's appearance on The Herd, where he discussed the world's view on American soccer, growth of the game, U.S. Soccer's “golden era” and more. Following the USMNT's uninspiring performance at the CONCACAF Nations League, many unanswered questions remained about the squad and Starting XI. The guys made a list of players they see breaking into the lineup come World Cup 2026. This weekend in Europe, Johnny Cardoso faces off against Lamine Yamal's Barcelona. Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah take on Fiorentina at home, desperate for three points. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah match up against red hot Roma, unbeaten in Serie A through 2025. Antonee Robinson looks for a big victory over Liverpool on Sunday. Also this weekend stateside, the CONCACAF Champions Cup rolls on with LAFC and Inter Miami on FOX.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse kick off today's show off with the announcement of USMNT's June friendlies. The squad is set to face off against two big European opponents, Switzerland and Turkiye, ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Also in Europe, Christian Pulisic had a big weekend and saved the day for AC Milan. He scored two goals in eight minutes to equalize and win the match over Lecce. Juventus suffered a major loss at home and nearly ended all hopes of a league title. Josh Sargent struck again, scoring his twelfth goal of the season for Norwich City. Tyler Adams has also been in great form since returning from injury, earning Bournemouth's February Player of the Month Award. Sergino Dest looks to make a similar impact on the pitch for PSV as he makes his official return from an ACL tear. UEFA Champions League and CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 leg 2 continue this week with many great matchups on deck.

 FIFA wants a Super Bowl-style halftime show at the 2026 World Cup Final—but is that a genius move or just another cash grab? Gianni Infantino's latest plan has the soccer world buzzing, and the Morning Footy crew debates who should take center stage on the sport's biggest night. Then, Tom Bogert joins the show to break down Tuesday's Concacaf Champions Cup action. Why couldn't LAFC draw a bigger crowd against Columbus Crew? And amid a chaotic preseason, does Pat Noonan deserve more credit for keeping FC Cincinnati on track?
