About this episode

The episode discusses Spain's dominant World Cup final victory over Argentina and Chelsea's significant transfer deal for Morgan Rogers.

Spain complete a dominant World Cup with the most one-sided final in decades, and Patrick and Neel break down exactly how they shut Argentina out of the game. They dig into Scaloni's team selection, why Argentina's long-ball approach failed, and whether this Argentina side ever deserved to be called the second-best team in the tournament. Then it's on to the transfer news: Chelsea's £117m deal for Morgan Rogers, whether the fee makes any sense, and what it means for their Financial Fair Play situation heading into the rest of the window.
