Joe Brolly told the Sunday Business Post yesterday that capitalism would kill the GAA. Football shows us a sport where the process is already far advanced.

 

July gives you little actual football to distract from the business of money making, which the big clubs are doing on their summer tours. So today it’s Neymar buying sneakers, and Jurgen Klopp talking about the price of butter.

 

Sid Lowe joins us to talk about how the Neymar transfer talk is being received in Spain, and explains why the FA President, Angel Maria Villar, was arrested last week as part of a corruption investigation.

We also announce our next live recording of the podcast on August 9th in Dublin.
