In this week’s episode of The First Half Pod, Gabby, Sam, and Stuart tackle one of football’s most divisive debates – the possibility of domestic games being played abroad. From the Premier League’s flirtation with the idea to La Liga’s bold attempts, the trio weigh up whether it’s a natural step in the globalisation of the game or a dangerous move away from fans at home.

The conversation then shifts to the controversial prospect of a European Super League. Would it actually work in practice, or is it destined to collapse under fan pressure and football politics?

To help break it all down, the team are joined by special guest Mark Donaldson, ESPN broadcaster and football analyst, who brings his unique perspective on whether football’s future really lies outside its traditional borders.
