World Cup News

Jimbo welcomes Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander, Liam Tharme and many more into the studio to dissect the final 4 groups of the Qatar World Cup. Group E includes Germany and their bogey team Spain. Rapha expects Musiala to shine while Alvaro Romeo is waiting for big things from Pedri.

In Group G, Natalie Gedra tells us why it’s not all about Neymar for Brazil, while Rigobert Song struggles to get to grips with the names in his Cameroon squad. And there’s Group H, the group of revenge. Carl Anka suggests Ghana would rather beat Uruguay than progress. Sungmo Lee has his eye on the Kim backline.

Luna shines again. Sullivan as a (slightly trigger-happy) interpreter of space. xG piling up and we close out the soft part of the U20 Concacaf Championship in some style against Nicaragua. Bob Morocco joins to talk about the game, compare this side to the one that won the title in 2017, and give his preferred lineup for the Costa Rica match on Tuesday.

The lads are joined by Oliver Treviso and discuss him having Ticks pulled out of his ass by a stranger, banana farming in Australia, living in a cave and experiencing Covid while in Morocco. Oli talks doing absolutely no planning for the original Trevs Trek, camping in haunted woods, the importance of personal hygiene and random acts of kindness from strangers.

- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It was a relatively quiet week for the LA Galaxy. But we're starting to see some player rumors heat things up. Can the Galaxy take advantage of the smaller market struggles to take a giant leap forward in 2022? Host Josh Guesman brings you all the latest news and rumors surrounding the Galaxy and how each of those rumored players could affect how we view the club's offseason. Josh will start with the Sebastian Lletget rumors and why the Galaxy would think of trading a fan favorite. And he'll remind the listeners that the vocal minority on Lletget is absolutely a minority and that the public relations of this move must also be considered. But what could the Galaxy get with a trade in the league? And why is New England a clear landing spot for him? Next, Josh will focus on 31-year-old defensive midfielder Ilie Sanchez. There are some things that could loosely link him to the Galaxy, and that wouldn't be a bad thing. SO STOP SAYING 31 IS OLD! It's old for some players, but Sanchez has the track record of being a reliable starter for years in MLS. Plus, why is defensive midfield a position of need if the Galaxy brought in Rayan Raveloson? Finally, Corner of the Galaxy turns into House Hunters as Galaxy President Chris Klein lists his Newport Beach house for sale. What does that mean for a man who should definitely be on the hot seat (but probably isn't)? And what stupid story does Josh have about meeting Klein 13 years ago in a driveway in Corona Del Mar? It's a good Thursday show that will at least keep you abreast of what is happening around MLS and the Galaxy. Are you ready for everything to kick into the crazy season? Because that will happen faster than you think!

World Cup style camps. That’s the phrase that’s all the rage at the moment. The Premier League are continuing to look at ways to finish the season and good on them. Will we have a bizarre little behind-closed-doors conclusion to the season this summer? We just don’t know. In other news it looks like Newcastle United actually have a strong chance of winning the FA Cup this season, Arsenal have been engaging in a spot of espionage and Graeme Souness is still really angry about everything about Paul Pogba. There’s also time to learn more about Edinburgh’s bacon boys and of course, Pete’s Film Club, in which he robs yet more hours of our lives.

We’re back once again to find that football still seems to be a rich vein of absurdity even when there isn’t actually any football, and face up to the idea that our show might actually be better when there isn’t any. Admittedly this has been helped by some classic and very welcome outside-the-box-thinking from Ian Holloway, John Hartson’s “elaborate golf hole” idea and Torquay United discovering that they have a hell of an athlete among their ranks. We also found time to talk George Lazenby, around the house holiday clothes and the contents of Pete’s cupboards, while there’s seismic change afoot as for the very first time, we open the doors to Pete’s Film Club.

Oof. Atletico Madrid picked a good time to remind us all of what they can do. A truly epic night of football at Anfield ended with a bewildered Liverpool going out of the competition. Will this setback stop them winning the league? No. No it won’t. Spurs had their own struggles and with Ole’s Man United coming to town at the weekend things could be about to get worse? Yes.

For the latest episode of Greatest Games, in association with the Blizzard, we’re off to the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille with Norwegian writer Lars Sivertsen. He talks us through the 1998 World Cup group game between Norway and reigning world champions Brazil, where two late goals from his unfancied home nation beat an XI featuring Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Dunga and Roberto Carlos. Lars discusses a risk-averse but hugely talented Norwegian side who, after disappointing results against Scotland and Morocco, had to win to secure their qualification from the group. After an 83rd minute equaliser from imposing striker Tore André Flo, Kjetil Rekdal struck the game-winning penalty in the final minutes— “with the lowest heart rate of any Norwegian.” For more stories from the annals of football history, visit www.theblizzard.co.uk to explore their archives that contain over 700 articles of stories just like this one!
