Episode 2391: What Makes Haaland Tick, England Gets Excited, Ken-adone
With the start of the football season just 9 days away, and Ken’s return imminent, we have a special treat as we play our chat about the biggest arrival to English football in this summer’s transfer window, Erling Haaland, with his fellow country-man Lars Sivertsen, friend of the show John Brewin, and of course our Ken. It’s from our very enjoyable packed out live show in the EartH Theatre in London a few weeks back.
England are through to the last four of the Euros thanks to a thrilling quarter-final win over Spain after extra-time last night. Katie Whyatt of the Athletic tells us about how excited the nation is getting, and also why a lack of diversity in the squad and in the first team could make that positive impact more difficult to harness.
There’s also Ken-adone, Grand Designs in Abu Dhabi, an Up For The Match bombshell, and Frances Murphy’s TV Guide for the sporting weekend.
Click the large image at the top of the page to play the show. Monday’s shows are free to all and to listen to our programming throughout the rest of the week, join the Second Captains World Service. It’s independent, commercial-free and member-led with feature interviews, breaking news, Ken’s Football Show, Richie Sadlier’s Player’s Chair, The Politics Podcast, The “I’ll Tell You Who Wrote It” Book Club and lots of added extras. You’ll also be supporting the development of our longer-form work, like our recent international series ‘Where Is George Gibney?’.
