In 1974, East Germany beat West Germany in a World Cup match in Hamburg. Afterwards, on a flight, the West German Finance Minister, Hans Apel, found himself sitting next to one of the East German players, Hans-Jurgen Kreische. Apel was so despondent that he told Kreische West Germany could not win the World Cup. Kreische disagreed and the pair had a bet. They tell Mani Djazmi about that fateful moment, and the disastrous consequences it had for Kreische's playing career.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony.

GM Alexandr Fier is a 5 time champion of Brazil and 9 time chess Olympian. He also recently qualified for the FIDE World Cup for the 8th time by finishing tied for first at the American Continental tournament. But aside from all of his impressive accomplishments, what interests me most about GM Fier is how frequently he competes. Last year alone, he played nearly 200 classical games,, and he has now travelled to over 50 countries. In our conversation we discussed: How he maintains his energy and positive outlook through a busy tournament calendar Why he thinks playing quickly gives him a competitive advantage. (Hence the nickname “No Fear”) How he reacted to getting some harsh feedback from legendary trainer IM Mark Dvoretsky at age 18. We also talked about GM Fier's recent qualification for the 2025 FIDE World Cup, his plans for the rest of 2025, and of course, chess books. It was a pleasure to chat with one of Brazil's top players, and I look forward to following his nonstop tournament adventures in the years to come. Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

In 1987, Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona was on top of the world. He'd just handed his nation a World Cup, and his club side Napoli its first league title in over 60 years. But Maradona's hard-partying lifestyle and underworld friends would soon take their toll - and before long, the world's greatest sportsman was in a tangled web of vice, drugs and match-fixing that would haunt him until his dying days.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews. Canada is flying high at the 2025 Gold Cup, at least on the pitch with wins over Honduras and Curacao. Off it, head coach Jesse Marsch has been ruffling CONCACAF feathers and was under investigation over incidents in Vancouver last week. We delve into the two victories, the standout performers, and the drama off the pitch. The FIFA Club World Cup is coming to the end of its group stage, and while the much maligned tournament has drawn a lot of criticism, the footballing fare on offer has been first class and very entertaining. We look at the tournament so far and see what lessons could and should be learned ahead of hosting next year's actual World Cup here in North America. The Whitecaps have had much needed and well-deserved time off after a crazy first half of their season. They're going to be back on the pitch on Wednesday to take on San Diego in what is now a battle of the top two teams in the MLS West. Who saw that coming when we saw the schedule?! We look ahead to that match up and discuss the first half of the 'Caps season with head coach Jesper Sorensen, captain Ranko Veselinovic, and forward Emmanuel Sabbi.

Welcome back to a new episode of the Pick and Go podcast. So that's it! Another season of Super Rugby has come to a close. The Crusaders are champions once again, and the Chiefs are also - once again - the runners up. Media discussion focused on the validity of a possible Chiefs win, given their loss against the Blues, but should we be questioning the Crusaders' win given they didn't even finish top of the table? Ardie took out the Player of the Year, but who do our panel think was worthy of the title? Talk will now start turning towards the All Blacks as they begin building a team to face France. Is it too early to start thinking about World Cup places? Who are the surprise picks, and what can we expect from the team based on the Razor's selections?

Growing up in the 70's, soccer was barely a footnote when it came to the sports culture here in the States. The North American Soccer League was trying to compete with the other leagues, but the game just didn't have the appeal that it does in much of the world. It lacked the star power that other sports had. Until… In 1975, the New York Cosmos signed Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the Brazilian superstar known across the globe simply as… Pele. That's right, Pele was coming to America… North America, NYC, The Big Apple… and with it, soccer was about to experience a boom in the U.S. Michael Lewis was just a young sports reporter looking to get a beat covering one of the four sports he grew up loving… Baseball, football, basketball, and hockey… Soccer wasn't on that list. Not even close. But the young scribe was given a shot to cover the Rochester Lancers of the NASL… and his career and life were never the same. Over 50 years later, he's written 9 books on the sport, including Soccer for Dummies and Alive and Kicking: The incredible but true story of the Rochester Lancers. That opportunity to cover the NASL allowed Michael to get a firsthand look at what he calls the biggest “BANG” for soccer in the United States: the arrival of Pele. He tells us how the global sensation arrived with no ego as an ambassador to the sport that saw him win 3 World Cups for Brazil in 1958, 1962, and 1970. He went from the pinnacle of the sport to a fledgling league, and did everything he could to bring attention to the sport he was famous for playing… Famous everywhere except maybe in the States…. But that was about to change. Pele was a man of the people, and that was apparent everywhere he went. He would talk with the guys in the kitchen of the restaurant as he was about to be introduced at his inaugural press conference in America. He would sign autographs for hours and give the jersey off his back to fellow players. In 1977, he led the Cosmos to the Soccer Bowl, winning in the quarterfinals in front of almost 78,000 fans at Giants Stadium before winning the Soccer Bowl in Oregon three weeks later. After the match, Brazilian journalists on hand to cover their famous countrymen carried him on their shoulders and paraded him around the locker room in jubilation at the conclusion of the superstar's incredible career. Michael Lewis was in that locker room and says almost 50 years later it's still the most amazing postgame celebration he's ever witnessed. Next summer, Lewis will cover his 14th World Cup… and when the finals of that tournament are played at Met Life Stadium, right where Giants Stadium used to stand, his career will have come full circle to when a young reporter was given a beat he didn't really want… and set him on a course that changed his life and gave him the opportunity to cover the greatest player and ambassador the sport has ever known… Pele.

I'm Chris, this is the Downtime Podcast and you're tuned into our Val di Sole post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. If you're listening, that means that like me, you probably LOVE the sport and want to know as much as possible about what's going on. That's exactly what we are here to do. Throughout the season, we'll be bringing you analysis and insights that you won't hear elsewhere. However, as you probably know, the mountain bike industry isn't in a great place right now and as a result, this series doesn't have any brand support. The World Cup coverage is the most expensive thing I produce, as it often includes travel and I like to pay the guys for the expertise that they bring to the table. I honestly considered not running the series this year, but I love doing it and from what all of us involved have heard trackside from the fans, you love it to. So I've decided to fund it myself, for now. But if this show means something to you, and you want to keep it going, then please consider supporting us over on Patreon. You can sign up for as little as £3 a month at patreon.com/downtimepodcast. That's less than the price of a coffee, but it makes a real difference. The more of you who chip in, the more likely it is that we can keep doing this. I know times are tight. But if you value what we're creating here, if it helps you stay connected to the sport you love, then now's the time to chip in and help out. Val di Sole's Black Snake as ever proved to be a tough challenge for the riders, with some conquering this ever evolving hectic dust bowl of a track and some getting bitten hard. The 2025 season continues to deliver, and there's heaps to dive into, so sit back, hit play and listen to this Val di Sole post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. Podcast Stuff Patreon I would love it if you were able to support the podcast via a regular Patreon donation. Donations start from as little as £3 per month.
