Red, White & Blues FC | The World Cup Is Over and We're Not OkaySpain lifted the trophy, Argentina got what they deserved, FIFA gouged everybody blind — and we have to go back to just being Chelsea fans now.The World Cup's over, and Jason opened the show genuinely mourning the fact that he can't just be a fan of football anymore — he has to go back to being a fan of Chelsea. Before we get into it: yes, Morgan Rogers is coming to Chelsea, and no, we're not giving you our real take on that until Thursday's transfer roundup. Consider this the palate cleanser — one last love letter to a tournament that had no business being as good as it was. We both went in with expectations on the floor and walked out calling it an A+.Spain Were Just Better — One Goal the Entire TournamentWe're united as households on this one: shout out Spain. Daniel's big argument is the one he's been screaming at Blueco to copy since day one — you build from the back and you win by not letting the other team score. Spain conceded exactly one goal the whole tournament, ran a 19-year-old out at center back, let Unai Simón coast on one or two saves a game, and still found the goal when it mattered (that Nico Williams header back across for Ferran Torres was gorgeous). The final itself was a boring, ugly watch — Spain couldn't finish, Dibu Martínez put on one of the great World Cup final keeping performances and still lost because Argentina did, in Jason's words, absolutely jack all night. They didn't register a real shot in the first 90. They deserved nothing, and Enzo Fernández taking one for the team with that cartoon second yellow felt like poetry.FIFA, Infantino, and the Great Ticket HeistHere's where we go long and angry. Trump 80-year-old-manned the trophy presentation and nobody — not even Infantino sprinting back across the stage — could get him off it. That was the only prediction we nailed all tournament. From there it's the ticket scandal: FIFA running its own resale site for the first time, a whole Belgium-fan section mysteriously going on sale the day before the US–Belgium match at $1,600 a pop against a $60 face value, tier-two seats quietly getting “expanded” into what were really tier-three views. Canada forced FIFA to relist; the US gave them carte blanche. We put Infantino on a pace to out-corrupt Sepp Blatter and genuinely mean it.Funflation and the Fans Who Paid AnywayThe part that actually depresses us: people paid. Stadiums were full. And every dollar those fans coughed up just teaches FIFA it can charge more in four years — it's not if prices go up, it's how much. Jason walks through the “painted doors” idea (companies A/B testing what you'll tolerate) and “funflation,” the creeping cost of doing literally anything fun, from World Cup tickets to Ticketmaster concerts to $100 parking and $100 subway rides to a stadium built in a swamp you can't walk to. We admit it hit us personally — we'd planned to go for a couple years and priced ourselves out rather than be “World Cup broke” for the next two. Great tournament. FIFA gets zero credit for it.The Third-Place Classic, the Booth Wars, and Closing the Book on Messi & RonaldoThe stuff we loved: England vs. France in the third-place game, a ten-goal exhibition that turned into pure competitive pride once the players got going — Jason calls it better than the final. England going into the Azteca and beating Mexico. Cape Verde drawing Spain and going home heroes. On the booth: all hail Rebecca Lowe, and please, Paramount, give us Zlatan and Thierry Henry full-time and keep Alexi Lalas as far from a microphone as humanly possible. Stu Holden gets both barrels for narrating the obvious as if he has inside knowledge, and for the whole crew being so unready for a boring final they filled time talking about the weather. We close on the legends aging out — Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar waving goodbye while Mbappé's already passed them with two World Cups likely still ahead — plus the eternal USMNT reality check (Pulisic showed up for one game and vanished; stop with the Captain America stuff) and a quick debate over whether third-place stats should count. Verdict: two enthusiastic balls way up. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit redwhitebluesfc.substack.com

In this episode, I'm diving into my unexpected journey through the World Cup. I talk about the heartbreak of both the United States and Norway being knocked out, and how watching the tournament made me realize that soccer (or football, depending on where you're from) has a lot more in common with water polo than I ever expected.For years, the only soccer stars I really knew were Beckham, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, mostly because of the elementary school kids I used to work with. Back then, Ronaldo was always considered the greatest. Fast forward to today, and even my 8 year old daughter still talks about how amazing Ronaldo is. Meanwhile, I first learned about Erling Haaland through social media and found myself eager to watch him play.All of this led to my husband becoming completely invested in the final rounds of the World Cup, turning what should have been a casual viewing experience into an intense but surprisingly fun family event.I also explore one of my favorite parenting "what if" scenarios: What if parents could use soccer's yellow and red card system? Imagine a mom pulling out a yellow card at a playdate as a warning, or a red card that means a child has to leave early and misses the next playdate altogether. It could be a game changer.We also talk about sportsmanship, why players like Erling Haaland set a great example for kids, and how Team USA made history by successfully overturning a red card decision during the tournament. As for my own kids? They've managed to make it through the summer card-free. No yellow cards. No red cards. Just a surprisingly blemish-free summer... so far.#ErlingHaaland #Ronaldo #WorldCup #Soccer #ParentingPodcast #MomLife #SportsParenting #PlaydateProblems #FamilyPodcast #ShhhMyKidsAreAsleep
The crew breaks down the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup run, debating what went wrong, the biggest controversies surrounding the squad, and whether the future of American soccer is brighter than the results suggest. They also dive into the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate, VAR controversies, and the biggest storylines from the World Cup.The conversation shifts to MLB, where the guys discuss the Rangers' trade outlook, the evolving Home Run Derby format, and why modern baseball has become less exciting for casual fans. They debate possible rule changes that could bring more offense back to the game.The episode wraps with NBA trade rumors and free agency, including blockbuster speculation, LeBron's future, and some surprising connections across the sports world. A fun episode packed with hot takes, debates, and reactions across soccer, baseball, basketball, and the NFL.

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.

We couldn't let the world cup slip through our grubby little hands and not talk about it. The Selecao came right to our door step and we had to get together to talk about what went down and our expert (amateur) opinions on it. We witnessed Ronaldo's (maybe) last world cup goal right in front of our eyes. At the same time Roberto Martinez pissed away another countries golden generation. Enjoy Amigos!

Die beiden größten Stars der FIFA-Fußball-WM, Messi und Ronaldo, vollbringen eindrucksvolle Rekorde – trotz ihres Alters. Dabei führen sie unterschiedliche Weisen vor, mit dem eigenen Altern umzugehen. Von Messi können wir als Gesellschaft lernen. Ein Kommentar von Björn Vedder www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Politisches Feuilleton
In this episode of the PRmoment Podcast's weekly news review, Ben Smith is joined by Angie Moxon and Mark Borkowski for a wide‑ranging discussion spanning British politics, football, FIFA's reputation, and Wimbledon.The conversation opens with what Angie has dubbed “the politics of farce”, focusing on Nigel Farage, the Reform party, Count Binface, and the Clacton by‑election. Angie predicts Count Binface could “trash” Farage and laments that, despite the historic struggle to win the vote, British politics has descended into something comical and depressing. Public disillusionment, she argues, is understandable given the corruption and behaviour of politicians.Mark acknowledges Farage's skill as a communicator and campaigner, noting how effectively he has handled tough questions about a £5 million donation from Christopher Harborne. However, he suggests that Farage has “crossed the line” regarding rules on political funding and now faces appropriate scrutiny, potentially including police investigation. Mark argues that Farage's strengths as a campaigner do not necessarily translate into being a capable constituency MP, and suggests many Reform supporters may worry about his actual ability to represent them.The trio then discuss the strategic move by other major parties to unite against Farage by refusing to play his “let the people decide” by‑election game. Mark sees this as a rare moment of unity against political outliers that, if repeated more often, might strengthen parliamentary democracy. Angie reflects on the demographic profile of Clacton – likely older voters – and suggests this still favours Farage, though national mood and protest votes could yet shape the result. Ben points out that Reform typically struggle to exceed 30–35% of the vote, making them vulnerable if they face a single unity candidate.The discussion shifts to sport, starting with the World Cup and Kylian Mbappé's handling of a racist remarks from a Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla. Mark praises the transformation in elite footballer behaviour, contrasting today's professionalism with the troubles of past stars such as Gazza and Wayne Rooney. Top players like Mbappé, Ronaldo, Bellingham, and Kane are portrayed as heavily media‑trained, acutely aware of their social‑media power, and highly responsible communicators who understand their status as global icons. Angie adds a personal perspective, recalling the open racism she heard on football terraces as a child and highlighting how far, despite serious remaining problems, things have improved.From there, the panel turns to FIFA's communications and governance. Mark brands FIFA's PR an “absolute disaster” and is scathing about Gianni Infantino's ego and political manoeuvring, including the rescinding of a controversial red card and the theatrical awarding of a “peace prize” to Donald Trump. Angie broadens the critique to the systemic corruption and “jobs for the boys” culture she sees in male‑dominated sports administration and corporate leadership, arguing this erodes credibility and is terrible public relations.Finally, the conversation moves to Wimbledon. Ben notes that, in a World Cup year with a depleted British tennis contingent, organisers must have been worried about interest – until Arthur Ferry's unexpected run to the semi‑finals. Angie welcomes him as a much‑needed “Great British hope” whose success can lift viewing figures. Ben closes by observing that the power of sport to capture attention and provide a temporary escape from a troubled world is as strong as ever.“We're now in a season of political farce – and that's a tragedy for a country where people fought so hard to win the vote.” Angie Moxon [00:00:49]–[00:01:20]“Farage is a remarkable communicator – but he's never been a man who embraces rules, and this time he's crossed the line.” Mark Borkowski [00:01:29]–[00:02:15]“If you woke up from a 40‑year sleep and saw the last two weeks' headlines, you'd ask: what on earth has happened to this country?” Mark Borkowski00:02:56]–[00:03:18]“Count Binface's best strategy might be to stay quiet – and let Farage's circus speak for itself.” Angie Moxon [00:05:04]–[00:05:35]“Today's superstars – Mbappé, Bellingham, Kane, Ronaldo – are not just great players; they're some of the sharpest communicators in global sport.” Mark Borkowski[00:06:17]–[00:08:06]“I grew up hearing vile racism on the terraces as a little girl – so when modern players call it out, it really matters.” Angie Moxon[00:08:25]–[00:09:10]“FIFA's PR has been an absolute disaster; Infantino's ego is centre‑stage while the credibility of the organisation collapses.” Mark Borkowski[00:09:10]–[00:10:18]“This is a classic ‘jobs for the boys' structure – male, closed, and corrupt – and it's terrible PR for football.” Angie Moxon[00:10:51]–[00:11:22]“Despite all the scandals, the World Cup still pulls in more than half the planet – that's the scale of spectacle we're talking about.” Mark Borkowski [00:11:43]–[00:12:37]“Arthur Ferry turning up in a Wimbledon semi‑final is exactly the kind of underdog story broadcasters dream of in a World Cup year.” Ben Smith (with context from Angie)[00:12:46]–[00:13:17]

Des larmes d'euphorie, des cris de bonheur, des embrassades éclatent, la France vient enfin de remporter la Coupe du monde de foot pour la première fois. La finale opposée les Bleus au Brésil, déjà quadruple champion du monde avec des stars comme Ronaldo, qui ne présageait pas forcément la victoire de notre équipe nationale. Mais en 1998, ce sont eux qui vont écrire l'histoire, balayant des décennies de frustrations injustes. Grâce à deux buts inscrits dans la tête par Zinedine Zidane et puis un dernier par Emmanuel Petit en fin de match, la France remporte sa première étoile avec le score devenu mythique "Et 1, et 2, et 3... 0 !" Le pays exulte, des millions de personnes sortent dans la rue, on ne parle plus que de foot pendant des jours et des jours, cette victoire sera un tournant véritable pour le football français qui s'inscrit alors parmi les grandes nations du ballon rond.

Cristiano Ronaldo responds after Portugal's World Cup loss, defending his legacy and highlighting the three titles he helped bring to the national team, including Euro 2016. Ronaldo explains why he believes Portugal's European Championship triumph holds the same value as a World Cup.
#1021 | Ed and Dan discuss United's expected £50m signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea, weighing fan reactions, Santos' strengths, and questions about his best role in the team. But the broader midfield rebuild this summer still lacks an elite, established number six, with top targets like Aurélien Tchouaméni unavailable after renewing his contract at Real Madrid, and alternatives such as Alex Scott, Lamine Camara and Carlos Baleba carrying various degrees of risk. The conversation then shifts to the World Cup: criticism of Roberto Martínez's Portugal, Ronaldo's influence, and England's tournament so far, including frustration at Kobbie Mainoo not playing and a preview of England vs Norway. And what of Marcus Rashford's uncertain future after the tournament ends? 00:00 Intro and England at the World Cup 03:32 Andrey Santos Signs for United 14:15 The Search for a Unicorn Number Six 16:47 Weighing Up Alex Scott and Baleba 20:19 Michael Carrick's Playing Career 28:07 Tchouameni's New Real Madrid Deal 34:22 Ronaldo and Portugal's World Cup Meltdown 36:47 England vs Norway and Rashford's Future If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become one of the most recognizable faces in the world—not just because of his legendary football career, but because of his commitment to health, fitness, longevity, and maintaining a polished appearance. So what can Ronaldo teach us about aesthetic medicine? Quite a bit. In this episode of The Aesthetic Doctor Podcast, Dr. Judith Borger explores the rapidly growing world of men's aesthetics, and how today's male patients are seeking subtle, natural-looking results that enhance confidence rather than change their appearance. Gone are the days when aesthetic treatments were considered "just for women." Modern men—from CEOs and physicians to athletes and everyday professionals—are investing in treatments that help them look rested, healthy, and competitive both personally and professionally. This shift reflects a broader trend toward preventative care, skin health, and minimally invasive procedures with little to no downtime. Tune in to learn what today's top trending male aesthetic procedures are. Dr. Judith Borger Links: www.theaestheticdoctor.com www.instagram.com/doctorborger

Frank and Eddie look ahead to the quarterfinals, as France take on Morocco, England play Norway, Belgium play Spain, and Argentina face Switzerland. Plus, Eddie has started watching 'For all Mankind' and he's not sure that it's actually good.

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup journey is over, and whether we'll ever see him in a Portugal shirt again remains to be seen. In this special edition of Football Daily, BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng brings you an episode of the Good Bad Billionaire podcast, exploring how Ronaldo transformed himself from a boy growing up in poverty on the remote island of Madeira into one of the most recognisable people on the planet. Together they trace Ronaldo's remarkable rise from a homesick teenager at Sporting CP's academy to global superstardom with Manchester United and Real Madrid, where relentless dedication, record-breaking performances and shrewd business decisions helped turn him into both a sporting icon and a global brand. Zing and Simon explore the business of modern football: from mega transfers and billion-dollar brand deals, to tax battles and legal disputes. Ronaldo leveraged social media fame to build his CR7 empire, so is he the ultimate self-made success story, a divisive global brand, or simply the most effective monetiser of talent in sporting history? Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast that explores the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics, and success.
