Today’s football show contains all the meats of the football stew, from local LOI beefs to the state of the world game.

First we chat to David Sneyd about where exactly things stand in the League of Ireland season, a season in which Damien Duff and Stephen Bradley are at each other’s throats. Why? Because of Italian trance classic, Komodo by Mauro Picotto, of course.

Then we speak to The Guardian’s Barney Ronay, who’s been on the ground in America for the opening weekend of the Club World Cup. We discuss Infantino’s ICE World Cup, the dark mood in America and why the Saudi money and American marketing behind it all means it will probably succeed.

Plus there’s Auckland amateurs, birthday shoutouts and the Kalimotxo King.
