Squawka Predictor

Listen Later

On the anniversary of Zidane's headbutt, the Squawka Talker begins with the birth of a new World Cup icon: Megan Rapinoe. Jake Entwistle is joined by Muhammad Butt and Sam Long to discuss the USA's record-breaking triumph, the impact of England's fourth-placed finish before sharing of a few of their favourite stats.

We then move on to look at how Brazil's Copa America win could influence the transfer market this summer and the Ballon d'Or voting later in the year. The latest episode finishes by analysing what on earth is happening with Neymar and where he might end up next season. Tuck in.

00:27:07 - 00:33:40 | Has Alisson broken into a five-man Ballon d'Or shortlist?

'When you're putting out Simeone numbers and not playing for Simeone - that's seriously impressive'
