412 | Clubs of the World, Unite!
Daniel Tiluk and Carl Anka discuss Manchester City losing to Al-Hilal at the Club World Cup. Does this prove the competition is something worth playing attention to? Will this experiment last until 2029. What issues are being seen this year that could alter the World Cup next summer. While the DAZN app has been reliable, the sportswashing element of this tournament (which funds both the broadcasting and prize winnings) is worth defining and exploring.
Before the podcast: On offseason rest and reading.

411 | Worlds Collide
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss African teams at the Club World Cup despite some good showings, the impressive performances of South American teams, the relative underperformance of European teams and excuses of heat, tiredness, and indifference. At what point will football's popularity wane given the amount of football on offer and the demand on player's bodies, and is women's football the next place for growth?
Before the podcast: On Nigerian weddings and Zohran Mamdani.

410 | Money Motives
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Antonio Conte and Napoli thinking about Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish (what happened to him at Manchester City).

Before the podcast: On preference for cold vs. hot.

409 | 'Daniel, I Don't Give a S***'
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Thomas Tuchel, his mother, and Jude Bellingham's attitude. Was Gareth Southgate the right person even if an unattractive name. Is there a correct way to approach hiring of a national team manager? Can African nations compete with European nations when in many cases they only have access to talent European nations don't want or can't house. Gary Lineker, Palestine, and Match of the Day's relevance. Cristiano Ronaldo emotional after Portugal's Nations League win. Why are some portions of the Internet revelling in a 17-year-old's poor performance?
