In 2006, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies had a chance meeting at a wedding. The two bonded over their love for soccer and their frustration with missing the World Cup final.

It's January 27th - here's a bonus episode after we woke up yesterday morning to the news that Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of this season. Shock, sadness and maybe a little reflection on this amazing 9 year journey. I'm Paul and I'm joined by Justin and Daz to offer some immediate reflections and maybe some perspective (maybe). Start with our initial reactions: ‘The loss of a man who can make a set of players far greater than the sum of its parts is a huge loss' What he shared with Roger Bennett about how he viewed success - making the world you are in better than it was before. In hindsight he seemed too relaxed at his Thursday press conference, and his acceptance at Bournemouth that VAR would not intervene because it was Tierney. What had tired him out - PGMOL? Game scheduling, the Deloitte money list, playing against nation states? UEFA at the 2022 final? Pre-season tours? German press talked about the job of a premier league manager being harder than that of someone in the Bundesliga. The man himself: ‘He made us all feel that we're not alone, that we're all part of something. That we weren't individuals with individual purpose, but that we're all in “this” together. The “this” I speak of is simply the possibility that dreams can happen in reality. That together we will always be bigger than just one of us. That shared joy is the only joy that matters.' Neil Atkinson talked about his connection to the City of Liverpool - such a grounded person, with a belief system that fits well in the very left leaning Scouse republic. Jamie Webster said he was a better human being than a football manager and that is saying something because I believe he's the best football manager in the world Attributed to Raffa Honigstein - he's ruined it for other German managers as he does everything so well - the managing, coaching, PR, press conferences Our best memories - too many for this brief pod: Boom - all of the last 9 years Barcelona, 2019 UCL win, the post match interview after City lost at Chelsea  96th minute Divock winner against Everton, the Parade in 2019 His appearances in Nivea commercials Looking ahead Generational managers do not just come and go. Does this doom his successor to failure? Absolutely not. Jurgen Klopp has left us in a good position. The squad is rejuvenated with talent everywhere.  Examples of Ferguson and Wenger being replaced with managers who were a poor fit for what they needed. Shankly and Dalglish examples.  The next 4 months - how should we approach it? Ultimately, ‘we're so glad that Jurgen was a Red'. We plan to have an episode tomorrow, reflecting on the Norwich game and a big part of that will be how the players and crowd reacts to the news. Thanks to Justin and Daz. And thank you dear listener for joining us. If you enjoyed the pod, please share it with a friend.

This fall, when the eyes of the world turn towards Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a shadow looms over the tournament, which is one of the most watched events in the world. The sports landscape being co-opted for geo-political and corporate gain is nothing new, but this year's iteration of football's biggest competition may be the most expensive example to date. Pod Save the World's Tommy Vietor and Roger Bennett of Men in Blazers join forces to unravel the riddle of how to enjoy the game we love while holding the powers that control it accountable for their corruptive policies and practices. On this inaugural episode of World Corrupt, a collaboration from Men in Blazers Media Network and Crooked Media, the two hosts share the memories that helped them first fall in love with soccer, while also looking back into the annals of history at past instances of a phenomenon known as "sportswashing.”

Soccer is a game which has often been called “the world's most important least important thing.” However this November's World Cup, the most-watched sporting competition on the planet, forces fans to grapple with the complexities of a tournament which has been twisted into a public relations exercise for Qatar, a country smaller than the state of Connecticut, with a shocking human rights record, that has built the tournament's infrastructure with migrant labor practices that have left a reported 6,500 dead. This dilemma is at the core of World Corrupt, a six-episode collaboration from Men in Blazers Media Network and Crooked Media. Starting October 8, Men in Blazers' Roger Bennett and Pod Save the World's Tommy Vietor will join forces to explore what it means to be a fan and a responsible citizen of the world while navigating a sports landscape that is increasingly being co-opted for geo-political and corporate gain.
