World Cup News

The Maidstone United fairytale continues! Marcus, Luke and Jim shake off their Belfast hangover to look back on the FA Cup fourth round, where The Stones marched on (or rolled in one fan’s case), Erik Ten Hag struggled to give away a bottle of wine, and David Wagner obligingly rolled over for a belly rub to kick off Jürgen Klopp’s farewell tour. We also address the difficult scenes at the Hawthorns, which led to a long delay in the Black Country derby. Plus, the ghost of Jose Mourinho takes another managerial casualty and DR Congo’s goalkeeper channels his inner Michelle McManus. Said literally no one ever.

We’ve got some football to talk about on today’s episode of On The Continent – happy days! Luke Moore and Andy Brassell are in situ and kick things off with a look back at Dortmund’s win over Schalke. We discuss David Wagner’s difficult job to get this Schalke side into shape, as well as trying to unravel the complicated situation around goalkeepers Markus Schubert and Alex Nübel. There’s even time for a look ahead to this weekend’s Berlin derby. Elsewhere we discuss some continental transfer rumours, including Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanić's potential move to Barcelona and Roma’s reported interest in Moise Kean, and worry about Marseille as they continue to sail through choppy waters!
