We're just one week out from the World Cup and we're starting to feel it.

First stop for Ken is Mexico City early next week, but before he went he gave us a special World Cup edition of KenCall!

This week we also had Tim Vickery on Ancelotti's source code for coaching and how old injured legends Neymar and Messi will fare in the heat. Plus there's Mbappe's defensive stats, who Ken is supporting and Madrid men stirring the pot.
