First: how Merkel killed the European dream ‘Ten years ago,' Lisa Haseldine says, ‘Angela Merkel told the German press what she was going to do about the swell of Syrian refugees heading to Europe': ‘Wir schaffen das' – we can handle it. With these words, ‘she ushered in a new era of uncontrolled mass migration'. ‘In retrospect,' explains one senior British diplomat, ‘it was pretty much the most disastrous government policy of this century anywhere in Europe.' The surge of immigrants helped swing Brexit, ‘emboldened' people-traffickers and ‘destabilised politics' across Europe. Ten years on, a third of the EU's member states within the Schengen area have now imposed border controls. Can freedom of movement survive in its current form? Lisa joined the podcast alongside Oliver Moody, Berlin correspondent for The Times. Next: the cultural impact of the railways It's been 200 years since the world's first public train travelled from Shildon to Stockton – across County Durham. Richard Bratby argues that this marked the start of a new era for Britain and the world: ‘no invention between the printing press and the internet has had as profound a cultural impact as the railways'.  How can we explain the romantic appeal of the railways? Richard joined the podcast to discuss, alongside Christian Wolmar, author of over twenty books about the railways including The Liberation Line.And finally: who is the Greatest Of All Time?What do Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Tom Brady have in common? Their acolytes would argue that they are the GOAT of their sport – the Greatest Of All Time. Why are fans so obsessed with the GOAT label? Are pundits guilty of recency bias? And does it really matter anyway? Journalist Patrick Kidd joined the podcast to discuss, alongside the Spectator's Sam McPhail.Plus: Madeline Grant asks why not show J.D. Vance the real Britain? Hosted by William Moore and Gus Carter.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

During Copa América last summer, Alexis Guerreros of The Cooligans podcast and Morning Footy on CBS Sports Golazo came by the Weekend to preview the Round of 16, and the standup comedian made a sharp point about Lionel Messi's “elasticity” and his stunning physical resilience after all the kicks and hard tackles he's taken in a long and storied career.That's just one reason that the little Argentine is the greatest there ever was, and from there we dove into a discussion of what a privilege it is to witness this man play. Nowadays, when you're lucky enough to be there in the stadium, you can feel that everybody around you knows it, too: this is Michael Jordan, this is Wayne Gretzky, and we're running out of time to bear witness to a genuine sporting phenomenon.Get more Classic moments from The Football Weekend:"Go, Go USA!"
