Episode 2493: World Cup Starts With A Whimper, Ken In Qatar, Infantino Feels Everything
The 2022 World Cup has begun and Ken was at the Al Bayt stadium to see the hosts lose 2-0 to Ecuador with a hopeless display. You still can’t buy success in international football, well not yet anyway.
We catch up with Miguel Delaney to talk about Gianni Infantino’s outlandish press conference performance on Saturday, and the bizarre scene of an opening world cup match being played in front of an almost empty stadium.
And with Ken’s world cup barely 12 hours old he’s already had his first traumatic travel tale to tell.
