On The Continent - A European Football Podcast12 Kesä 2025

The Clash of Continents

The controversial Club World Cup is set to begin this weekend, but what can we expect to see on the field? With the South American fixture schedule much kinder than that of the Europeans, could we see the playing field levelled in the United States?

Dotun, Andy & Miguel Delaney give their thoughts on that. Plus, Jobe Bellingham follows in his brother's footsteps by joining Borussia Dortmund, but can he live up to the lofty expectations set by the 'other' Bellingham? And chaos at Italy leaves their World Cup dreams in disarray. After the departure of Luciano Spalletti and a rejection from 'the tinkerman' Claudio Ranieri, where do the Azzurri turn next?
