The World Cup is finally here, and we're diving headfirst into the biggest storylines with guest, Connor Willey. If Argentina lifts the trophy, does Lionel Messi officially become the unquestioned GOAT of sports? We break down the legacy implications, the three biggest keys for Team USA against Australia, and whether anything less than a competitive quarterfinal appearance would be a disappointment for the Americans. Then it's time for a loaded edition of Way or No Way featuring bold World Cup predictions: Messi's goal total, Spain's group-stage fate, a potential first-time champion, Golden Boot sleepers, hydration breaks, African nations making a deep run, and whether a goalkeeper can take home the Golden Ball. In the NBA, we play "Can We Fix It?" with the Lakers and outline the moves needed to get Los Angeles back into title contention. Plus, we unveil the annual Stripe Sports 4-Team NBA Mega Trade featuring Anthony Davis, Trae Young, Brandon Ingram, Tyler Herro and more—and debate which front office hangs up first. Finally, we head to the NFL for a wide receiver duo draft featuring some of the league's biggest stars before evaluating two of the most ridiculous fantasy football formats ever created: The House of the Dragon League and The Love Island League. Trust us, these rules are completely insane. Messi. Mega trades. Fantasy football anarchy. Let's ride. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We spoke with our Man City regular, Koseku, about Rodrigo's Ballon d'Or victory. From her vibe it seems City fans feel good and composed as ever. We asked if Rodri was really the best in the world but she really spun it on us with a very important question. Sadly we saw the Golden Ball winner receive his award on crutches, seems like the Citizens aren't moved about that either. We also got to find out Koseku's feelings about Real Madrid's absence at the gala and her favorite Rodri moment. Then we called for some corrections in the final rankings. Lock in to a midweek 97 special with Magnus and KSK. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/97football/support
Hello Rank Squad! October has crept up on us quietly, and there's less than a fortnight now until we find out who will claim the coveted Ballon d'Or Trophy - the little golden ball that signifies the best player in the world over the previous season. So, with that in mind, we've put together our own thoughts on who deserves football's most prestigious individual honour. Jack is joined by Dougie Critchley to talk through each of our Top Fives for this season's trophy. Will Rodri's European glory take him to top spot? Is this the moment that Vinicius Jr achieves what countryman and idol Neymar Jr never could? Or could an outside bet sweep in to take the throne?Before that, there's time for Things We Love, which includes a discussion on Trent Alexander-Arnold's rumoured links to Real Madrid, a wonderful story from New Mexico about a USL club doing their bit for the community, and some notes from Bolivia on their national team's resurgence and famous upset against Colombia in this international break. It's Ranks! And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Laser-focused on her final World Cup, MEGAN RAPINOE chooses our podcast to go *deep* on her bittersweet decision to retire from her iconic soccer career: Why she is excited – and ready – to say goodbye to soccer; Why representing America is so important to her in this moment; Why she doesn't believe in sacrificing herself for the team; How dissociation helped her on the field – and hurt her in life – and how she's working to give it up. Plus, Megan explores the question: Does greatness have to cost you your humanity?

Hello Rank Squad! With Karim Benzema locking down his first Ballon d'Or trophy (and deservedly so) on Monday night, we wanted to use that as a springboard for some discussion. First up, we look at a very uncontroversial decision to give Mercedes Benzema his first ever Golden Ball, as well as the podium places and some chat around the Kopa trophy for the best young player! But time waits for no man, and so we head onwards to next year, to examine the five players that have had the most stunning start to the season. Will Haaland scoop the prize even without a World Cup? Does one of Messi and Neymar need to lift the Jules Rimet trophy to propel them back into the spotlight; and some roguer, outside shouts, to win that golden ball next winter. There's a Melon of the Week from the manager's dugout in Leicester City's local, and Jack takes over Gibberish to discuss some things he's good at. It's Ranks! Learn more about your ad choices.
