Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
On this edition of Morning Espresso, Jason Longshore dives into a packed global football slate. Nico Williams turns down Barcelona and pledges his future to Athletic Club, choosing loyalty over a marquee move. We preview the Club World Cup quarterfinals, from Palmeiras’ underdog spirit against Chelsea to Fluminense’s discipline against Al Hilal, and big names clashing as Bayern faces PSG and Real Madrid takes on red-hot Dortmund.
We also explore a major shift in sports broadcasting as Ligue 1 launches its own streaming platform, and break down Gareth Bale’s bold move to buy Cardiff City. There’s trouble in Lyon, dominance from Spain in the Women’s Euros, and all the latest from MLS and silly season — including USMNT transfers and Premier League shake-ups.
Plus, we look ahead to Sunday’s Gold Cup final between the USA and Mexico.
