The FAI, in its prudence, has abandoned its joint-bid with the football associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to host the 2030 World Cup, and instead in its prudence will now make a bid to host Euro 2028. Ken reports back from the five-association press conference held earlier today.

We also chat about last night’s AFCON final, Egypt’s questionable penalty shootout approach, and the Salah-Mane dynamic which grows ever-juicier.
