Episode 3117: The FIFA Party, Ange’s “L”, Chaos In The Box
Football has World Cups, Euros, the Champions League, the domestic leagues and a 12 month season, but for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, something was missing, and that something is a club world cup featuring the likes of Al Ain, Mamelodi Sundowns and Auckland City.
Ken took a look at the dazzling cast of stars at the Club World Cup draw which included Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Ronaldo, Len Blavatnik and Gloria Estefan
We talk to David Squires, the cartoonist famous for his weekly strip in the Guardian, whose new collection “Chaos in the Box” is out now. David talks about the process and pressures of creating a new strip every week, his favourite current characters in the world of football, and – for the artists out there – how to draw eyes.
