Talking Tactics

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Roy Nemer of Mundo Albiceleste.

They discuss how Roy came about watching and supporting Barcelona and Argentina. Moving from Ontario to Quebec in his youth, and why that move shifted his profession when entering university. How he started working on Mundo Albiceleste and eventually became the owner. We then got into Argentina's path through the 2022 World Cup, from Saudi Arabia to France, and the rollercoaster of emotions caused by the journey. It ends with quick-fire questions, from film to music to travel to football.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea. The form, politics, and rumours surrounding Mason Mount. Frank Lampard was sacked as Everton boss, what does his future hold? Why don't England make good managers? Arsenal 3-2 Manchester United provided some old-school vibes. Erling Haaland is a goalscoring phenomenon; Have Hope wants dribblers. If David Ornstein's report is accurate, and Harry Kane is willing/wanting to remain with Tottenham Hotspur, we ask the obvious question: "Why?"

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss the Supercopa de España between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Should Madrid regret allowing Casemiro to leave, and finding them a new manager isn't so simple. Manchester United turned 0-1 to 2-1 in the space of four minutes against Manchester City. Was their first goal legal, and is Pep Guardiola playing mind games with himself? Arsenal took care of Tottenham in the North London Derby, as Chelsea won the race for Mykhailo Mudryk. Might that be a blessing in disguise for the Gunners? Napoli are playing great football, and should your club's owner be in a Twitter space?

Daniel and Have Hope discuss the career, legacy, and importance of Pelé. Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. Did the Portuguese make the right decision to cash out, is he still in the frame for the national side, and is his profile so large no matter where he plays (or how old he gets) his fans will follow him. We end with some table talk, focused on Arsenal, and their ability to win the league, and Kylian Mbappé showing up to a Brooklyn Nets game with Achraf Hakimi during his World Cup break, and why the Frenchman is the next superstar.

Daniel and Carl discuss the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup. The Argentina/Croatia semi-final, and how Croatia have outdone themselves in terms of population. The France/Morocco semi-final, and Africa's first World Cup semi-finalist. Do you believe in third-place games? Angel Di Maria's big-game performance in the World Cup final. Didier Deschamps hooking Ousmane Dembélé and Olivier Giroud. Did you feel France had chance to win until Kylian Mbappé exploded, and why Emiliano Martínez is a cheat code in knock-out football. Was Argentina/France the best final you've ever watched, and where do you rank this World Cup in the ones you've watched?

Within those conversations and at the end, a more macro view of Qatar, the contradictions of consuming the games, the capital (both financial and human) spent to make it happen, how FIFA dove headfirst in this direction post 2006, and whether the critical energy that followed South Africa, Brazil, Russia, and Qatar will follow the World Cup to Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America in 2026—or will the handwringing take a break?

It's a long one, but you'll find your way. See you in 2023!

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Spain's exit from the World Cup at the hands of Morocco. Is there a way to play "Spanish football" without having a great striker? Can culture be changed? If so, should it be changed? If Brazil doesn't make you happy, why are you even here? Would France winning this World Cup make "football sense?" The psychology of penalties, and some predictions for the quarter-finals. Also, Eden Hazard retires from international football at age 31.
