Dotun and Tim are joined by Maher Mezahi to wrestle with the central problem of the beautiful game: does a striker succeed or a goalie fail when the ball hits the back of the net? The Adidas Azteca that Maradona famously “helped” past Peter Shilton in 1986 went under the hammer at the weekend – but what would listeners do with the ball touched by “the hand of God”?

Briton Tony Davies has pretty much seen it all when it comes to television sport broadcasting. With over 20 years' experience in broadcast TV as a director, producer and writer, Davies has made a number of documentaries, including the RTS-nominated A Bat and Ball War, and worked on numerous sports events including the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup, Olympic Games, Paralympics, Asian Games, Wimbledon, Open Championship and Tour de France.His broadcast experience opened the door to event management roles, and Davies has worked as Broadcast Venue Manager on the past three Rugby World Cups. He was also the Broadcast Project Manager for the Special Olympics in 2019. During his early years, he worked on the legendary sports magazine show, Trans World Sport and his interviewed some of the biggest names in world sport, including Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Maradona, Pele, a 13-year-old Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Wayne Gretzky, Kip Keino and even Whitney Houston and John Candy.In this episode we talk about how commentators are chosen, the economics of sports broadcasting, how modern technology is changing how we watch sports and what the future holds in the digital age for viewers.Davies lives in Nelson, New Zealand, where he lives with his wife and six (yes, it's not a typo !) children. He enjoys a number of sports including cycling, running, boxing, hunting, fishing and paddling. He is a frequent visitor to the UK, where he still has a base, and to Asia, where he does production work for the BBC.Also, for our Real Science of Sport Members, stick around after the show for some bonus content as we continued our chat with Tony and got even more fascinating insights, including his thoughts on social media influencers as broadcast 'partners', why he doesn't buy into the 'all access' documentaries so frequently made about sports events, and his choice of best documentary ever made.

Hoe bouw je eigenlijk een sterk merk als je Harry en Meghan heet? Waarom is humor in reclame veel meer dan af en toe een grappige inhaker? En waarom is Miljuschka Witzenhausen misschien wel precies de juiste persoon voor HelloFresh?In aflevering 4 van FC Merkcircus duiken merkstrateeg Jos Govaart en marketingjournalist Bas Hakker weer in drie actuele onderwerpen uit de wereld van merken, marketing en reputatie.1. Harry en Meghan: kun je een persoonlijk merk nog repareren?Harry en Meghan vertrokken naar Amerika met een enorme bekendheid, een Netflix-deal en alle mogelijkheden om een sterk eigen merk neer te zetten. Toch lijkt hun merkwaarde volgens deskundigen behoorlijk afgebrokkeld.Bas en Jos bespreken wat er mis kan gaan als je niet duidelijk bepaalt waar je als merk voor wilt staan. Want ook voor bekende mensen geldt eigenlijk dezelfde simpele merkregel: kies twee of drie zaken waarmee je geassocieerd wilt worden en bouw daar consequent aan.Jos haalt daarbij Mark Ritson aan: een groot deel van merkstrategie bestaat uit nee zeggen tegen dingen die niet bijdragen aan de gekozen koers.Dat leidt ook tot een interessante discussie over PR. Wanneer zeg je als merk ja tegen een interview en wanneer niet? Jos legt zijn driestappenmodel uit: past het bij je strategie, mag van je worden verwacht dat je reageert en is het belangrijk voor je stakeholders?2. Humor in advertising is een serieuze zaakHumor is weer helemaal terug in de reclamewereld. In Cannes bestaat inmiddels zelfs een aparte categorie voor humor en onderzoek laat zien dat grappige campagnes veel effectiever kunnen zijn dan saaie reclame.Maar daar zit volgens Jos een belangrijke voorwaarde aan: humor moet onderdeel zijn van je merk en niet alleen van je socialmediakalender.Een grappige 1-aprilactie of snelle inhaker kan veel aandacht krijgen, maar daarmee bouw je nog niet automatisch aan je merk. De kunst is dat mensen de humor uiteindelijk herkennen als typisch van jou.Coolblue is daarvan een goed voorbeeld. De grapjes op dozen en bezorgbusjes zijn misschien niet bedoeld om mensen hard te laten lachen, maar wel om dat bekende 'mondhoekje omhoog' te veroorzaken.Ook Snickers, Specsavers en natuurlijk Centraal Beheer komen voorbij. Merken die humor jarenlang consequent inzetten en daarmee herkenbaarheid opbouwen.3. Miljuschka en HelloFresh: de juiste endorser kiezenTot slot gaat het over de samenwerking tussen HelloFresh en Miljuschka Witzenhausen.Waarom voelt die combinatie eigenlijk zo logisch?Volgens Jos gaat het bij een goede merkambassadeur niet alleen om de vraag of iemand 'bij het merk past'. Interessanter is welke associatie een persoon kan toevoegen of veranderen.HelloFresh kan bij voormalige klanten bijvoorbeeld nog het beeld oproepen van wat saaie of alternatieve maaltijden. Miljuschka straalt juist plezier in eten, lekker koken en genieten uit. Daarmee kan ze precies een associatie toevoegen die het merk goed kan gebruiken.Dat brengt Bas en Jos bij Hublot, een horlogemerk dat juist bewust rebelse types aan zich bindt. Maradona paste daarbij en José Mourinho eigenlijk ook perfect.Oftewel: een goede endorser lijkt niet alleen op je merk, maar helpt je merk verder te brengen.FC Merkcircus is de podcast van Jos Govaart en Bas Hakker over merkstrategie, reputatie en marketingactualiteit.

Apple TV and Futbol de Primera radio play-by-play announcer Diego Pessolano is in the Newark airport fighting all the jamming technology to catch up about the World Cup, Argentina, a special tattoo, and his upcoming match this weekend on Apple TV

Stewart Alsop sits down with Matias Avalos on this episode of the Wisdom podcast to explore the intersection of technology, humanism, and creative sovereignty. The conversation moves from Matias's work with neural network-based audio plugins and effect chains to broader questions about corporate transhumanism, data ownership, and what it means to maintain human agency in an increasingly automated world. They discuss the dangers of convenience-driven technological adoption, the implications of companies like Palantir and Neuralink, and how bureaucratic incentives push toward total legibility while protecting their own opacity. Along the way, they touch on everything from IMAX audio production and the death of walkable cities to Instagram's transformation from visual diary to data extraction platform, ultimately arguing for local, open-source, and sovereign approaches to technology that keep humans in the loop rather than replacing them with "average fabrics" of algorithmic output. Find Matias Avalos on LinkedIn for more techno-poetic discussions.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Matias Avalos to discuss their friendship and upcoming conversation topics.05:00 Matias explains audio effect chains using neural networks to capture professional recording room signatures and create portable high-fidelity sound processing.10:00 Discussion of piezoelectric microphones converting sound vibrations to electrical signals and CIA experiments using lasers to capture audio from glass surfaces.15:00 Conversation shifts to digital audio recording, sampling rates, and the importance of source material quality for post-production work.20:00 Stewart shares his journey building web conferencing software to replace Riverside, encountering lip-sync problems and learning about FFMPEG processing.25:00 Matias discusses corporate transhumanism, Neuralink's implications, and how brain interfaces could enable continuous taste mining beyond medical applications.30:00 Analysis of corporate transhumanism through companies like Neuralink, discussing private decision-making, lack of transparency, and various transhumanist philosophies globally.35:00 Matias reads poetry about digital replicas and data generation, exploring how wearable devices continuously capture human activity creating targetable information streams.40:00 Discussion of Peter Thiel's shift from libertarianism to neoconservatism, Palantir's origins in Total Information Awareness program, and Buenos Aires as humanist sanctuary.45:00 Examination of American convenience culture, post-WWII suburban isolation, and Buenos Aires as walkable humanist alternative to car-dependent American cities.50:00 Matias presents Neil Harbison as positive transhumanism example, explaining color-to-vibration synesthesia implant while discussing techno-optimism from Global South perspective.55:00 Conversation explores bureaucratic incentives toward population legibility, compelled silence laws, and sovereignty through open-source local technology ownership avoiding corporate control.60:00 Matias concludes discussing digital identity ownership, social network portability, and how digital twins determine human worth across platforms and borders.Key Insights1. Modern digital audio processing technologies represent a fundamentally different approach to music and sound production compared to generative AI tools. Matias Avalos distinguishes between technologies like Neural DSP's Mantra plugin, which uses deep neural networks to capture and emulate professional recording environments, and generative platforms like Suno. The key difference is that traditional digital signal processing tools put the creator in control, allowing them to make artistic decisions using expensive effect chains that would otherwise only be available in elite studios like Abbey Road. These technologies democratize access to professional audio tools without removing human agency from the creative process, whereas generative AI tools operate as black boxes that produce outputs based on prompts rather than allowing genuine creative control.2. The capture and preservation of source material remains critically important in audio and video production, despite advances in post-production capabilities. Through his experience building a web conferencing application to replace Riverside.fm, Alsop learned that many technical problems, particularly lip-sync issues, stemmed from poor source file management and recording methodology. This principle extends across all media production, as Avalos explains using the example of missing lighting in professional photography. While modern generative AI might attempt to invent missing elements, the results cannot match properly captured source material. This highlights a fundamental tension in contemporary media production where the quality triangle of cheap, good, and fast has been disrupted by AI technologies that can deliver all three if we lower our standards for what constitutes good work.3. Corporate transhumanism represents a particular and concerning subset of transhumanist philosophy that differs significantly from earlier artistic and philosophical approaches to human enhancement. While early transhumanists like Neil Harbison, a color-blind artist who implanted a device to translate color frequencies into vibrations, pursued personal enhancement and expanded human experience, corporate transhumanism as practiced by companies like Neuralink focuses on technological integration with significant profit motives and control mechanisms. The discussion highlights how these corporate approaches position themselves as solving medical and cognitive problems while simultaneously creating dependency through terms of service, data mining, and token-based economic models. This represents a Trojan horse where the promise of enhanced capability masks the establishment of new forms of control and surveillance of human consciousness itself.4. The concept of legibility as a bureaucratic end goal rather than a means to an end explains much of the surveillance apparatus that has developed in Western societies, particularly in the United States since 9/11. Alsop describes how those in positions of power, wealth, and fame have a structural incentive to make everything around them legible and controllable while maintaining their own privacy and illegibility to external observation. This dynamic manifests in technologies like Palantir and in legal mechanisms like compelled silence through gag orders, which directly contradict constitutional principles of free speech. The drive for total legibility of populations appears to have no ultimate purpose beyond the accumulation of legibility itself, creating a recursive loop where surveillance and data collection become self-justifying activities that serve power structures rather than the populations they ostensibly protect.5. Human beings continuously generate enormous streams of metadata through their daily activities, creating what Avalos describes as evaporating against our own will into hundreds of RSS feeds for hundreds of corporations. This automatic data production occurs through basic activities like waking up, moving through space with smartphones and wearable devices, and interacting with digital platforms. The fundamental question that predates transhumanism but becomes more urgent within it is how individuals can own what they produce simply by existing and moving through the world. This data is captured through accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS systems, and countless other sensors that create comprehensive digital profiles without explicit consent or meaningful control by the individuals being monitored. The unilateral nature of this communication, where individuals broadcast data without receiving genuine value in return, has become so deeply embedded in modern infrastructure that it forms part of the taken-for-granted landscape of contemporary life.6. Platform lock-in and the inability to migrate digital identity across services creates a new category of loss that requires genuine grieving. Avalos describes how his experience with Instagram, which began as a personal visual diary before the Facebook acquisition, evolved into a situation where he cannot extract his creative work and social connections from the platform without significant loss. This phenomenon extends beyond mere inconvenience to touch on fundamental questions of identity and citizenship, as social media profiles increasingly determine real-world opportunities like visa applications and border crossings. The implications of digital footprints have become severe enough that individuals can be denied entry to countries based on algorithmic analysis of their online interactions, likes, and expressed beliefs. This creates a situation where people are worth exactly what their digital twin indicates they are worth, with no meaningful avenue for human appeal or nuanced self-representation.7. The future relationship between humans and technology requires a return to principles of sovereignty, local control, and open source development rather than dependence on corporate platforms and proprietary systems. Both Alsop and Avalos advocate for a do-it-yourself approach to technology that emphasizes ownership and control over personal tools and data. This includes avoiding closed systems like Neuralink unless they become open source and user-controlled, and prioritizing local execution of AI models over cloud-based services that create dependencies and enable surveillance. The conversation suggests that techno-optimism remains possible, but only from what Avalos calls the trenches, acknowledging the different relationship that people in the Global South and those outside centers of power have with technology. This grounded optimism recognizes the entanglement of beneficial and harmful aspects of technological development and maintains that human agency and creative freedom require conscious resistance to the convenience-at-all-costs model that has characterized recent technological adoption.

Tema de abertura de Claudio Zaidan para o programa Bandeirantes Acontece

Send us Fan MailThe first World Cup champion in history spoke Spanish — Uruguay, 1930. The Latino history of fútbol, from Aztec stone courts to the Estadio Azteca.Ask most people who won the very first World Cup and they'll say Brazil, Italy, or England. They're wrong. And the real answer says everything about us.This is a solo episode on the history of fútbol, the origins of the World Cup, and how deep Latino roots run in the biggest tournament on Earth.THE BALLGAME BEFORE THE BALLGAME Three thousand years before England wrote a single rule, our ancestors were already playing one of the oldest organized ball games on the planet. The Aztecs called it ōllamaliztli — from ōlli, their word for rubber. The Maya called it pok-ta-pok. They played with a solid rubber ball that could weigh up to nine pounds, in massive stone courts, with crowds in the stands. Mesoamericans invented the rubber ball. And this was no weekend kickaround — it was sacred, tied to how they understood the sun, life, and death. No hands, no feet. Hips, forearms, thighs. A version of that same game, ulama, is still played in Sinaloa, México, to this day.WHERE THE MODERN GAME REALLY CAME FROM England's original version was called mob football — entire villages dragging an inflated pig's bladder across miles of open country. Broken bones, brawls, deaths. Kings tried to ban it, and a preacher in the 1500s called it a bloody, murdering practice rather than a friendly sport. The most beautiful sport on the planet started as a legal riot between two towns. England's boarding schools — Eton, Harrow, Rugby — finally tamed it, and in 1863 they split the difference in a London tavern: the foot game became association football, the hands game became rugby. That's also where the word "soccer" comes from. Not America. England.DID FÚTBOL COME FROM CHINA? FIFA officially points to cuju, played in China more than two thousand years ago, as the oldest recorded version. Most historians call the connection a stretch. Their reasoning is simple: kicking a ball is just something humans do. It appeared independently in China, Greece, Rome, Japan — and right here in the Americas. Nobody handed the game down to us.HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN FIFA? No. For about forty years there was no global governing body at all. FIFA was founded in 1904 in Paris by seven European countries — and England, who wrote the rulebook, was too proud to join at first.URUGUAY 1930: THE FIRST WORLD CUP The first World Cup ever played wasn't in London, Rome, or Paris. It was in Uruguay. They were the best team on Earth, they were celebrating a hundred years of their constitution, they offered to pay for everything, and they built the Estadio Centenario from scratch. Thirteen teams played. Seven came from the Americas. The first goal in World Cup history was scored against México on opening day. And in the final, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 in front of 93,000 people to become the first world champions in history. The next day the whole country shut down for a national holiday.TEN TITLES Brazil has five World Cups, more than any nation on Earth. Argentina has three, including Maradona in 1986 and Messi in 2022. Uruguay has two, including the Maracanazo of 1950. Ten world championships in Latin America.AND AN HONEST LOOK AT FIFA FIFA's record off the field is ugly — the 2015 corruption arrests in Zürich, and right now, the ticket situation at the Estadio Azteca, with everyday Mexican fans priced out of watching their own national team on their own soil. That's not okay. But a boardroom in Switzerland doesn't get to rewrite what we built on the field.Follow the show, share this with somebody watching the games this summer, and leave a rating.

Dan Jamieson secured exclusive rights for Jude Bellingham the week before the FIFA World Cup. The ICONS CEO takes us inside the complex world sporting memorabilia, where fame, fans and intellectual property collide. The Bellingham bet — talent-spotting as a business modelIcons approached Bellingham three years, eight months ago while he was still at Dortmund — long before the World Cup made him a global name. The signing model is a venture bet: identify the X-factor early, earn the entourage's trust, lock in exclusivity before the price moves.Jamieson's read on Bellingham is the whole thesis in miniature: "treat him like he's a foreign footballer." His fame was built overseas, his value is that he transcends Englishness — the opposite of "yeoman-like" Harry Kane, who doesn't sell to kids in Macau, Australia or the Philippines.The signing itself is prosaic: roughly an hour of his time at Real Madrid's training complex, filmed for content. The value is manufactured afterwards through framing, licensing and authentication.The rights stack — why one player requires three dealsA single Bellingham product sits on top of a layered set of rights: the player (exclusive deal via a tight, family-run team), the club (Real Madrid takes a cut on image rights — their argument: the halo of the shirt inflates his global value), and the tournament (FIFA / Champions League licences).Notable: Icons pays Real Madrid as well as Bellingham, but does not pay the FA for the England shirt.The signing was split ~50/50 Madrid/England on the bet that Madrid would globalise better — but post-tournament it's England fans doing the buying. A live demonstration of how a World Cup rewrites demand in real time."Official, authentic, exclusive" — the three buzzwordsThe entire proposition rests on these three words. The FIFA licence buys the right to use the marks, access official channels, and — revealingly — instruct Google to stop directing buyers to unofficial sellers.Sharp detail on enforcement: the party responding most effectively to takedown requests is the Chinese, who ask for official IP letters so they can clear out counterfeit listings. Western platforms, by implication, are slower.Triple Lock — authentication as the core moatIcons' answer to a "Wild West" market: film the entire signing, edit it, attach an NFC chip to the shirt so a phone scan surfaces the exact geolocated, timestamped, verifiable moment of signing.The honest tension underneath: Richard presses whether authenticity actually matters to a buyer who just wants Bellingham on the wall. Jamieson concedes there's "a world of slop out there" far cheaper than Icons — the business model only works if enough buyers pay a premium for provenance. Authenticity isn't a feature, it's the entire value exchange.Retailtainment — the media/retail convergenceRichard's coinage-to-steal of the episode: "retailtainment." Icons has turned itself into live commerce for the eBay "Summer of Soccer" — footballers interviewed for an hour in-studio while an Icons "World XI" is auctioned live. Effectively "QVC for the modern age."With three months' notice, Icons stood up a studio, trained staff into on-camera talent, and now broadcasts every three days. But Jamieson is disciplined about scale: live is ~10% of World Cup activity — a high-profile experiment, not the engine.The Gary Lineker / Rest Is Football anecdote is the episode's best illustration of guerrilla marketing: a Messi shirt hand-delivered to reception, an invite upstairs, then a Bellingham frame — which ends up on-screen in the show's England opener. Product placement earned, not bought.Fanatics — the elephant, as platform and as frenemyIcons' relationship with Fanatics is deliberately pragmatic: it's a distribution partner (15 years with the memorabilia team) and a subcontracting client (Icons signs players for Topps and Panini, but doesn't produce cards itself).Jamieson's framing of Fanatics' ambition is the sharpest strategic line in the conversation: they want to "build a multi-story car park of tents" — own "all the goodies in the sweet shop." Fanatics Live is "Comic-Con for sport,"and the model is league rights plus individually-contracted superstars who also do PR, events and the "white party in the Hamptons."The Topps/FIFA card rights deal gets a diplomatic "let's say it was a surprise" — Jamieson can't see how you award a licence five years out (it reverts to Fanatics/Topps at the 2031 Saudi World Cup). Read: a big cheque, future-proofing, and Infantino goodwill from the on-site deal.The trading-card vs. memorabilia distinction — two different marketsCrucial clarification of where Icons sits. Trading cards are a "free-flowing frictionless" tradable commodity — American-centric, increasingly international (Ohtani, Pokémon, Japan), an asset class with whales and secondary markets.Icons' product is deliberately not tradable. Jamieson refuses to call it an investment: "you are a fan, you love this guy... put it on your wall and enjoy it." He's wary of the unrefereed secondary market. He acknowledges Icons is "thinking about" making its product tradable — a live strategic question they haven't resolved.NFTs — the dog that didn't barkJamieson stood on the sidelines through the NFT boom by instinct — a "real world tangible product person."Tellingly, no one ever came with a big cheque, so Icons was never tested.His one genuinely interesting idea: the Maradona shirt with a cigar burn — a true one-of-one that could pair a physical artefact with a blockchain-owned digital twin. But the digital-native builders "were obsessed by the digital nature of it" and never bothered with the physical/digital combination that would have interested him.On digital signatures: blunt dismissal — "I hate that stuff. It's just rubbish." Worth maybe £2 on a merchandising cup, meaningless to a collector.The supply-chain reality — where the money actually gets made and stuckThe least glamorous, most revealing theme. Icons believes it's the biggest buyer of football shirts in the world — thousands at a time, "round the back of the bike sheds" at Classic Football Shirts.The Messi 2022 lesson: three years' revenue in three days, but entirely on pre-orders, because there were no Argentina shirts left on Earth. Adidas took six months to remanufacture; customers waited until summer. Right now Jamieson is "buying Argentina shirts" pre-emptively to avoid a repeat. England shirts are easier — the market is so vast Adidas "produce billions"The through-line question — what is a media outlet now?The thread Richard keeps pulling: retail, media, rights and IP are collapsing into one space. eBay Live, Fanatics Live, Netflix moving from Rest Is Football into live FIFA rights (the Women's World Cup in Brazil on Netflix), and Icons building its own broadcast studio — all point the same way.The strategic uncertainty left open: is the American World Cup an outlier or the new template? Jamieson is inside it and still can't fully call it — which is the honest and interesting place to leave it.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Every four years the FIFA World Cup attracts a world-wide audience. And every FIFA World Cup also attracts controversy. Forty years ago, in 1986, the games in Mexico had their fair share of controversy, as well as amazing moments, surrounding Diego Maradona. Maradona is one of the greatest footballers, or soccer players, of all time. He started playing professionally just before his 16th birthday. He was already a popular player when he arrived at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. However, it would be his performance here, especially in the quarterfinal game against England, that would cement his name in history.This story is told in the third person and the past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “ganó” (won/beat), “partido” (game), “pelota” (ball), “golpeó” (hit), and “Inglaterra” (England).No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.

Spain put together their best performance of the tournament, dominating France 2 to 0 behind Pedro Porro's overlapping runs and Rodri's control in midfield, while Didier Deschamps drew criticism for blaming the referee afterward instead of crediting a better team. Then Jason Longshoe and Madison Crews dig into the biggest match in Atlanta sports history: Argentina and England meet in a World Cup for the first time since 2002, with Lionel Messi facing England for the first time in his career. They trace the rivalry's roots from the 1966 quarterfinal and the Falklands War through Maradona's Hand of God and David Beckham's fall and redemption, then break down the tactical questions facing both sides, including whether Lionel Scaloni benches Rodrigo De Paul and how Argentina plans to handle Anthony Gordon.

El analista de W Radio revisa la previa del duelo mundialista, marcado por la rivalidad deportiva, la memoria de Maradona, el simbolismo del uniforme azul argentino y la expectativa de un partido cerrado rumbo a la final.

03 15-07-26 LHDW ¿Es la España de Rodri?, Rafa Sanz dice que tiene gran incidencia en el equipo como Messi y Maradona tuvieron en sus equipos

The World Cup semifinals arrive this week, and Jason breaks down both. France chases a third straight final against the one team that keeps beating them, Spain, with the mental war, the Rajoy controversy, and the tactical keys to Tuesday's match in Dallas. Then it's the match twenty one years in the making: Lionel Messi finally plays England, right here in Atlanta on Wednesday. Jason covers the full history of one of the sport's fiercest rivalries, Jude Bellingham's Maradona level stat, and the bulletin board material coming out of the English media. Plus, Atlanta United makes it official on center back Júnior Alonso, Atlanta United 2 routs Inter Miami II, MLS launches the biggest campaign in league history, and the USWNT sets a huge October date against Spain. It all closes with the 3-4-3.

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler joins Neil Barnett from Atlanta as England prepare for a mouthwatering FIFA World Cup semi-final against Argentina, with a place in the 2026 World Cup Final at stake. The pair begin with Voice of Passion, where Neil argues that Jude Bellingham has now completed the journey from prodigious talent to genuine world-class footballer. Martin explains why Bellingham's consistency, personality and influence have elevated him into football's elite, before the discussion widens to Harry Kane's tournament, Spain's outstanding young defender Pau Cubarsí, and whether the expanded 48-team FIFA World Cup has actually allowed the game's biggest stars to shine brighter than ever. In Martin's Letter From The Gantry, Martin reflects on the positives of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the tournament enters its final week. From the spectacular stadiums across the United States, Canada and Mexico, to advances in semi-automated offside technology, improved playing surfaces and innovations in broadcasting, he explains why this World Cup may ultimately be remembered as a landmark tournament despite the controversy surrounding its expansion. Martin also shares behind-the-scenes stories from working alongside Andy Townsend and Matt Holland for HBS, and reveals why Dallas and Atlanta have left such a lasting impression. The episode concludes with One Game, Many Comparisons, as Martin and Neil embark on an ambitious journey through every FIFA World Cup Final since 1954. From Ferenc Puskás and Hungary's Miracle of Bern, Pelé's emergence as football's first global superstar, Garrincha, Paolo Rossi, Diego Maradona and Franz Beckenbauer, to Johan Cruyff's Total Football, Zinedine Zidane's genius, Ronaldo's redemption, Brazil's golden generations and Germany's remarkable consistency, the pair debate the greatest players, greatest teams and defining moments in World Cup history. Along the way, they revisit England's 1966 triumph, Argentina's controversial 1978 victory, the tactical evolution of the modern game, and ask the ultimate footballing question: Pelé or Maradona? It's another packed episode celebrating the history of the FIFA World Cup, featuring football nostalgia, tactical insight, broadcasting stories and fascinating debate from two men who have spent a lifetime immersed in the world's greatest sporting event. #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #FootballPodcast #MartinTyler #JudeBellingham #HarryKane #England #ThreeLions #Argentina #Brazil #Pele #DiegoMaradona #WorldCupHistory #FootballHistory #GOATDebate #Football #Soccer #JoyOfFootball #JoyOfFootballPodcast #WorldCupFinal Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back together from opposite sides of the world, with Pete still in Los Angeles covering the Club World Cup while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal... and it's fair to say long distance is still bringing plenty of chaos.The pair kick things off by catching up after time apart, with Peter showing off his questionable LA haircut before the conversation quickly spirals into expensive celebrity barbers, World Cup stories and Abbey receiving an unexpected history lesson on Maradona's infamous "Hand of God".Elsewhere, Abbey opens up about a brand new parenting challenge as the couple navigate life with a 15-year-old daughter and the reality of teenage boys beginning to appear on the scene. They also tackle one listener's noisy partner, another whose role play was completely derailed by an overly committed builder delivering a full loft conversion quote, and revisit the legendary "lingerie crab" story after the couple write back with a surprising update... and some very happy news.There's also a fiery renovation debate as Peter discovers more surprise bills arriving for their new house, admits his only contribution has been choosing the boilers, and accuses Abbey of going "knob shopping" without him.Plus, Peter reflects honestly on life after professional football, why he rarely plays anymore despite still loving the game, whether they've already "peaked" in life, and why finding new passions has become more important than ever.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Intro01:00 - Peter explains why every footballer ends up with the same World Cup haircut02:25 - Expensive LA barbers03:15 - World Cup excitement and talking about Kane's goal04:05 - Peter tells Abbey the full story of Maradona's infamous "Hand of God"06:55 - Parenting worries begin as Abbey opens up08:00 - The realities of teenage girls and navigating dating as parents10:05 - World Cup moments and England excitement11:00 - Peter's Weekly Whine: surprise renovation bills keep arriving from home12:20 - Boilers, driveway lights and why Peter feels left out of designing the house13:25 - Knob shopping15:10 - Peter reveals the only part of the new house he actually wants control over16:25 - Listener update: the famous "lingerie crab" mystery finally gets solved18:15 - Engagement news after one of the podcast's strangest ever listener dilemmas19:20 - Peter wearing women's clothes and the conversation gets ridiculous20:00 - Abbey's Love Island lookalike and Gaz's invitation to a Fourth of July LA pool party22:00 - Agony Ab: what do you do when your boyfriend is a bedroom screamer?24:45 - Long distance life and why this week's episode became a catch-up instead26:10 - Former athlete struggles: does Peter still miss playing professional football?28:00 - Peter admits football frustrates him now and explains why he rarely plays29:00 - Finding new passions through golf and life after football30:00 - Have Peter and Abbey already "peaked" in life?

Ronaldo just answered his critics with a brace in Portugal's 5–0 win over Uzbekistan, while Messi has five goals and Mbappé and Haaland have four each in the early World Cup golden‑boot race, setting up a tournament that could reignite every GOAT debate at once. With Portugal among the contenders and Argentina also near the top of the odds boards, the crew points out there's a real chance we get a Ronaldo‑vs‑Messi World Cup knockout clash, where one legend sends the other home and the internet melts down.

Every World Cup has its stand‑out personalities and talking points. This year, fans have been as delighted by Lionel Messi's performance in the tournament, his sixth World Cup, and by the stand‑out style of DR Congo superfan Lumumba Vea, as they have been sometimes baffled by hydration breaks. But only a handful of moments are remembered throughout the decades. In 1986 in Mexico City, Diego Maradona scored two goals for Argentina in a match against England that will never be forgotten. World Service News editor Lourdes Heredia, it turns out, was there and witnessed what Maradona would go on to call his 'Hand of God' goal. A few weeks ago in Afghanistan, in the western city of Herat, people took to the streets in a rare protest after local Taliban government officials reportedly began arresting women perceived to be “improperly wearing the hijab." Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, women's rights have been restricted more and more. Women are no longer allowed to go to secondary school or university, beauty parlours have been banned, travel restrictions have been put in place dictating how far women can travel from home, and women have been ordered not to speak when out in public. Mahjooba Nowrouzi and Mamoon Durrani of BBC Afghan have been reporting on these protests and looking into Taliban leadership.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.Presented by Faranak Amidi.

El Mundial siempre deja historias que van mucho más allá de la cancha.

La dimensión del fracaso toma forma con las decisiones obligadasQuien no haya vivido el siglo XX posiblemente no sepa muy bien que significaba Cuba fuera de Cuba. Más aún luego de la caída del Muro de Berlín y la disolución de la Unión Soviética. Cuba era la heredera de un sueño. Por supuesto también la portadora de una pesadilla descomunal para muchos. Cuba era el sueño de que sí se podía plantar orgullo frente al poder imperialista. Cuba simbolizaba otro modo de hacer política, de encarnar la valentía, otra forma de hacer cultura, una esperanza de no caer inevitablemente en los indicativos del sistema capitalista voraz e insensible. Un modo de escapar de la fuerza gravitacional del sistema impuesto desde Hollywood, el New York Times, Fox, CNN o las casas de moda europea, de saltar el cerco informativo, de hallar valor más allá del dinero, de no pecar de abundancias superfluas.

Bomani Jones is joined by Spencer Hall for a Time Machine Tuesday edition of The Right Time to revisit some of the most chaotic, controversial, and unforgettable WTF moments in World Cup history. Bo and Spencer break down Diego Maradona's infamous “Hand of God” goal against England in the 1986 World Cup, the geopolitical weight behind Argentina vs. England, and why Maradona followed one of soccer's most blatant acts of cheating with one of the greatest goals the sport has ever seen. Then, they jump to the 2006 World Cup Final and Zinedine Zidane's stunning headbutt against Italy, discussing how trash talk, pressure, and Italian defensive dark arts helped create one of the most shocking exits in sports history. Plus, Bo and Spencer look ahead to the 2026 World Cup in North America, from brutal summer heat to public transportation problems, stadium naming chaos, and why international fans may not be ready for how big — and inconvenient — the United States really is.
