Competition Format

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros break down Son Heung-Min’s arrival at LAFC and what it could mean for Major League Soccer both on and off the field. They also reflect on his time at Tottenham and the legacy he leaves behind. Later, they recap Phase One of the Leagues Cup and react to the tournament’s best moments so far. Finally, they discuss the news that Benjamin Šeško has chosen Manchester United over Newcastle.

The jury is still out on whether the new Champions League format will be a success. Can Marcus, Luke and Pete design a better competition? They try their best on today’s Mailbag. After that, the Ramblers re-lived the last time an event in football totally shocked them and make some recommendations for José Mourinho and what he should do next in his career… Gareth Southgate's replacement?
