Podcast appearances and mentions of jude bellingham

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Lionel Messi's historic hat trick in Argentina's 3-0 victory and discuss what it means for his final World Cup. With Messi now tied for the most World Cup goals ever, the guys debate who had the best opening performance of the tournament: Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland. They also discuss Christian Pulisic's calf injury and whether Mauricio Pochettino should protect his captain against Australia or trust him to lead the United States once again. Next, The Cooligans welcome Ben Fawkes for another World Cup betting segment. The crew breaks down the over/under for USA-Australia, debates whether Folarin Balogun is the safest goal scorer bet, and examines England's attacking options against Croatia. They also look at Mexico vs South Korea and ask whether tempers could boil over after the chaos of Mexico's opening match, while discussing Ismail Saibari's chances of scoring again for Morocco against Scotland. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis preview another packed day at the World Cup. Can Mexico take control of Group A against South Korea? Will Colombia avoid an upset against Uzbekistan? Can Ghana get a result against Panama? And with England set to face Croatia in one of the marquee games of the group stage, the guys discuss what the Three Lions need to do to prove that football really might be coming home.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to one of the biggest shocks of the World Cup so far as Cape Verde earn a stunning draw against Spain. Are Spain already in trouble, or is this just an early bump in the road? The guys also discuss whether Cape Verde can ride the momentum all the way to the knockout rounds before turning their attention to Lionel Messi. With what is likely his final World Cup underway, can Messi put the GOAT debate to rest forever by winning a second World Cup, or do Pelé and Maradona still have a claim to soccer immortality? Next, The Cooligans break down Tunisia's decision to appoint World Cup specialist Hervé Renard as head coach for the remainder of the tournament. Can Renard work his magic once again and guide Tunisia to an unlikely place in the knockout stages? Christian and Alexis also debate Cristiano Ronaldo's role with Portugal and ask whether the legendary forward is still one of the team's biggest weapons—or whether his presence has become more of a problem than a solution. To wrap up the show, the guys are joined by England presenter Michael Timbs to preview the Three Lions' World Cup campaign. Which players will be key to England's success? Can this generation finally deliver on decades of expectation? And after all these years, is football finally coming home?

I det allra sista avsnittet av Expressen Fotboll VM-special stänger vi gruppspelsgenomgången med att syna Grupp L: England, Kroatien, Ghana och Panama. England leds numera av tysken Thomas Tuchel, vars obekväma petningar av flera storstjärnor har rört upp känslor. Truppen är dock extremt talangfull och mycket hopp ställs till Jude Bellingham och Harry Kane, även om panelen tippar ett engelskt respass redan i kvartsfinalen. Bakom dem väntas en tuff kamp om andraplatsen, där Therese Strömberg sticker ut hakan och tippar att ett offensivt spetsigt Ghana slår ut ett åldrande Kroatien, som dessutom hämmas av att storstjärnan Luka Modric tvingas spela i en frustrerande ansiktsmask. I botten tippas Panama komma toksist, och panelen konstaterar förvånat att de helt hade förträngt landets senaste VM-deltagande 2018. Panamas enda chans till poäng spås bli om boxningslegendaren Roberto Duran kliver in och håller ett ikoniskt peptalk inför matcherna. Avslutningsvis knyter podden ihop säcken för hela VM-uppladdningen genom att påminna om Expressens matiga VM-guide, samt tipsa om att följa Expressen Fotbolls livesändningar varje dag mellan 09.00 och 10.00 under hela mästerskapet!Ansvarig utgivare: Klas Granström

This is Ollie Watkins reflecting on a journey that very few footballers ever experience - opening up on going from League Two and non-league football to scoring one of England's biggest goals in recent history. 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.

Xabi Alonso is heading to Chelsea and the football world is divided. Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros discuss whether Chelsea is truly the best destination for one of Europe's most in-demand managers and why Liverpool may have passed on making a move for their former midfield legend.

Then, USMNT and Fulham left back Antonee Robinson joins The Cooligans! “Jedi” talks about the growth and maturity of the U.S. men's national team ahead of the biggest World Cup in American history, his strong Premier League performances, and the surprising reason many fans in Liverpool actually root for the USMNT over England.

In this episode of Predictable B2B Growth, Javier breaks down Adidas' Backyard Legends World Cup campaign and explains why this 5-minute ad is a masterclass in storytelling, positioning, attention, and brand-building.The campaign features Timothée Chalamet, Lionel Messi, Bad Bunny, Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham, Trinity Rodman, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Alessandro Del Piero. But the reason it works is not because Adidas stacked the ad with celebrities.It works because Adidas built a legend.A rumor.An undefeated local crew.A guide.A challenger team.Nostalgia.Stakes.Cultural relevance.And a story people immediately want to repeat.Javier connects the Adidas campaign back to a bigger problem in B2B marketing: too many companies position themselves as the hero. They talk about their product, their website, their team, their features, and their company updates — while the customer gets pushed to the side.The best brands do the opposite.They make the customer the hero.They become the guide.They create stakes.They build belief.They tell a story the market wants to carry for them.In this episode, Javier covers:How Adidas used rumors and folklore to create instant attentionWhy Timothée Chalamet works as the guide, not the heroHow the local crew became more interesting than the global celebritiesWhy nostalgia only works when it serves the storyWhat B2B brands can learn from Adidas about positioning and narrativeWhy long-form content works when the story earns the audience's timeHow to make your product feel natural inside the customer's worldWhy the strongest brands create belief, not just awarenessIf you're a founder, marketer, revenue leader, or B2B executive trying to build a brand people remember, this episode is a reminder that great marketing still comes down to one thing:A great story, told well.Send us Fan Mail Thanks for listening to Predictable B2B Growth.Want predictable pipeline (not random acts of marketing)? Run the Predictable Pipeline Diagnostic (15 min): https://boldermediasolutions.com/pipeline Subscribe to the newsletter: https://boldermediasolutions.com/newsletter Book a strategy call: https://boldermediasolutions.com/strategyMore episodes + show notes: https://boldermediasolutions.com/podcastConnect with Javier:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/javierlozanojr/ Website: https://boldermediasolutions.comIf the show helps, follow + leave a rating/review.

There's also praise for Hansi Flick's Barcelona, the emergence of Lamine Yamal, and discussion around whether finishing second in a “two-team league” can ever be viewed as success.Elsewhere, Sergio Ramos edges closer to buying Sevilla, prompting debate around ex-players owning football clubs, modern ownership structures, and whether football intelligence translates into boardroom leadership.The conversation then shifts into a wider look at European football's competitive imbalance.

Could there really be a world where Jude Bellingham doesn't start for England at the World Cup this summer? With Thomas Tuchel favouring Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role so far, is Bellingham facing a place on the bench? There are also big questions up front. Who steps in as backup to Harry Kane? Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke were both given opportunities against Uruguay but failed to impress, while Ollie Watkins hasn't quite hit top form this season. Does this point to a wider decline in traditional number nines in the English game?

Sergio Valentín modera la tertulia con David Vinuesa, Sergio Heras y Dani Blanco La tertulia de Fútbol es Radio, dirigida por Sergio Valentín, ha diseccionado la agónica clasificación del Atlético de Madrid para la final de la Copa del Rey tras una eliminatoria frente al Fútbol Club Barcelona que estuvo a punto de convertirse en un desastre histórico para los rojiblancos. A pesar del contundente resultado de 4-0 logrado en el partido de ida, el equipo de Diego Pablo Simeone mostró una cara excesivamente temeraria y conservadora en el Camp Nou, permitiendo que el Barcelona soñara con una remontada épica que se quedó a las puertas del milagro tras un 3-0 insuficiente para los intereses culés. "El Atlético hizo un partido de ida de matrícula de honor y anoche suspendió. El Barcelona suspendió en la ida y ayer estuvo de sobresaliente. Esa diferencia entre matrícula y sobresaliente marcó la diferencia", resumió Sergio Valentín. El análisis de los tertulianos se ha centrado en la identidad del sufrimiento atlético, una característica que el propio Simeone reivindicó tras el encuentro al afirmar que su club está destinado a llegar siempre al límite. Sin embargo, desde una perspectiva crítica y rigurosa, se ha cuestionado si ese planteamiento tan defensivo fue una estrategia inteligente o una muestra de miedo innecesaria. "A los jugadores del Atlético les temblaron las piernas", dijo David Vinuesa. El programa subrayó que, aunque el orgullo de la afición está intacto tras trece años de espera para volver a una final copera, la imagen ofrecida en Barcelona fue la de un equipo asustado, encerrado en su área y a merced de un rival que dominó el juego de principio a fin. Dani Blanco destacó también el empuje azulgrana: "Fue más por las ganas de remontar del Barcelona que por el miedo del Atlético". Además, Sergio Heras reiteró que "no sorprendió el planteamiento del partido, sí los errores de concentración del Atlético". Los colaboradores señalaron acciones polémicas como un gol en posible fuera de juego milimétrico que, en otras circunstancias, podría haber cambiado el signo de la eliminatoria. El programa también dedicó un espacio considerable a la preocupante situación en la enfermería del Real Madrid, calificando de caos la gestión de los servicios médicos del club blanco. Resulta inaudito que estrellas de la talla de Kylian Mbappé o Jude Bellingham tengan que viajar a Francia o Londres para buscar una segunda opinión médica, evidenciando una desconfianza absoluta en el personal que dirige el departamento en Valdebebas. Esta huida de los futbolistas hacia especialistas externos pone de manifiesto que la excelencia que se presume en el club no se traduce en el cuidado físico de sus activos más valiosos. Especialmente sangrante fue el testimonio de Itziar González, exnutricionista del club, quien denunció la prepotencia institucional que impera en los despachos médicos del Real Madrid. Según su relato, cualquier intento de modernización o mejora en la dieta de los jugadores —como eliminar la bollería en los desayunos— chocaba con la soberbia de unos facultativos que se escudaban en la frase: con esto llevamos 15 Champions. Esta mentalidad estancada y arrogante impide que el club se adapte a las exigencias del fútbol profesional moderno, donde el detalle nutricional es fundamental para evitar las plagas de lesiones que asolan a la plantilla de Carlo Ancelotti. La falta de profesionalidad denunciada por González, donde los médicos preferían ganar dinero sin trabajar antes que permitir que una experta realizara su labor, refleja una estructura interna que necesita una limpieza profunda. No se puede permitir que en el mejor club del mundo los jugadores ignoren la existencia de la nutricionista o se les prohíba recibir asesoramiento especializado. Este desgobierno médico es el principal responsable de que jugadores como Rodrygo hayan jugado con molestias graves, poniendo en riesgo su integridad física y su participación en citas clave como el próximo Mundial. Finalmente, la jornada se completa con la mirada puesta en el derbi vasco entre la Real Sociedad y el Athletic Club, un duelo de alta tensión que decidirá el otro finalista que acompañará al Atlético de Madrid en Sevilla el próximo 18 de abril. Por otro lado, la crisis en el filial blanco también fue mencionada, con un Álvaro Arbeloa cuestionado tras la derrota ante el Getafe, lo que añade más presión a una institución blanca que, a pesar de sus éxitos pasados, atraviesa un momento de incertidumbre en su gestión interna y deportiva.

Then we move on to the La Liga weekend previews, with Real Madrid traveling to play a tough Valencia squad (33:41) and Barcelona hosting Vedat Muriqi's Mallorca (40:43)

Real Madrid kept up their pursuit of league leaders Barcelona but only just, needing a 100th minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe to spare their blushes at home to Rayo Vallecano, in a match which saw Vinicius Jr booed despite scoring a worldie and Jude Bellingham leaving the pitch in tears clutching his hamstring. Gary and Alex look at why the atmosphere continues to be so fractious at the Bernabeu. Barcelona kept themselves ahead of the rest with a 3-1 away at Elche in a game in which they spurned plenty of chances to make the scoreline even greater, goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford were enough for the three points. With the league being so tight and the knock-out stages of the Champions League upon us who do Gary and Alex think has the squad capable of winning it all this season? There's also been more grumbling at Atletico Madrid as they struggled to a 0-0 draw at Levante, leaving Diego Simeone calling for reinforcements in the transfer window, but after fifteen years in charge have the fans decided it's time for a change?

This result means Barca are only one point ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, but there was some positive news for Marcus Rashford as he got himself on the scoresheet. Finally, we look at Villarreal's fading hopes of muscling their way into the title race after defeat at an improving Real Betis and there's a look at Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sorloth proving some of his doubters wrong with a superb winning goal against Alaves.
