  • We stayed up just in case...but it didn't come home

    We stayed up just in case...but it didn't come home
    Jul 15 2024
    On today's Briefing - Well, you know what? Spain were excellent and there's no shame in losing to the better team. They've been brilliant throughout this tournament, haven't they? Ah, but it gets you, doesn't it? Hope. When Cole Palmer sent that ball skidding into the bottom corner, just for a moment, I really did still believe. I thought Spain might start to tire and momentum would carry us over the line. In spite of everything I've learned since I stayed up in my pyjamas at the age of eight to watch England get knocked out the 1986 World Cup by Diego Maradona, I thought we were going to do. Sigh. Plus! Argentina are Copa America champions! Post a comment on the app, send me an email (imacintosh@theathletic.com) or write a review on Apple. The Daily Football Briefing will return on August 5.

  • It's Finals Day....how's the nerves?

    It's Finals Day....how's the nerves?
    Jul 14 2024
    On today's Briefing - We're incapacitated by tension, so we're leaning heavily on our experts. Oli Kay hates the phrase 'It's Coming Home' and he's not convinced that it is anyway. Pol Ballus says that Spain are calm and focused, so maybe he's right. Jack Lang is eagerly awaiting the Copa America Final, but we'll be very drunk by the time that comes around. Pray for us.

  • Why Jürgen Klopp said no to the USA

    Why Jürgen Klopp said no to the USA
    Jul 12 2024
    On today's Briefing - Klopp said he needed a rest and he wasn't kidding. The US will have to search elsewhere. And what's going on with French football? Why haven't they got a TV deal in place? The season starts in a month! Plus, did you spot the horrendous error in yesterday's show? Another humble apology is dispensed within. Sigh. What's your favourite football book of all time? Let us know. And if you're listening on Spotify, there should be poll somewhere on this page. Unless I've broken Spotify.
