468 | Brazil Need a BBL (Feat. Michael Talks Football)
Daniel Tiluk is joined by Michael Jarock of Michael Talks Football to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo, Jorge Jesus, and Portugal. What's up with Brazil and the confidence level of Vinicius Jr? Manchester City play Liverpool next week - how will the fallout of City's financial scandal affect the team's season? Does Michael want any retrospective Liverpool trophies? Who are your AFCON favorites for next summer?

467 | £900 Million (Feat. Muhammad Butt)
Daniel Tiluk is joined by Muhammad Butt to discuss the guilty verdict given to Manchester City from the Premier League on 114 of 115 charges related to the club's finances. Were the rules fair, why that doesn't matter when it comes to punishment, how history will document the verdict if City's appeal fails, what the punishment should be, what it is likely to be, and whether Manchester City can withstand the hammer blow. Then why Muhammad believes Lamine Yamal should win the Ballon d'Or over Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Kylian Mbappé. https://x.com/muhammadbutt https://www.youtube.com/@97passes Have Hope - ⁠https://havehopefootballhut.com⁠ Carl Anka - ⁠https://x.com/Ankaman616 Daniel Tiluk - ⁠https://danieltiluk.substack.com⁠ Support on Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/join/talkingtactics⁠ Buy the merch: ⁠https://talkingtactics-shop.fourthwall.com Learn more about your ad choices.

466 | Candidate Mbappé
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Arsenal losing to Brighton, Manchester City and Ezno Maresca's title ambitions, Chelsea and Clearlake Capital leaving behind Todd Boehly. Barcelona are playing incredible football. Jose Mourinho deflecting poor play onto the officials and their, admittedly incorrect, decisions in the Madrid Derby. Kylian Mbappé is going on a world tour of sorts to campaign for the Ballon d'Or. Who should actually win it? What's up with the Dutch national team?

465 | Kick Out
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Manchester United 0-1 Manchester City. Phil Foden's red card and Bruno Fernandes' provocation. Erling Haaland's goal shouldn't have stood. Arsenal get another three points. Liverpool are struggling. Tottenham need a revolution. Chelsea can't defend. Real Madrid have a Vinicius problem. It is time for Barcelona to win the Champions League.

464 | Don't Peak in September
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Real Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan. The chemistry in Real Madrid's attack. Barcelona look great, but do they look too good, too soon? Do you buy the Paris Saint-Germain "know when to peak" argument? Arsenal should win the Premier League, but they seem built for the Champions League. What is a "striker?" Is "fun" an acceptable replacement for sensible defensive structures, as it relates to Chelsea and their porous defending? There are too many names on the Ballon d'Or shortlist!

463 | The Great Enzo Debate
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Chelsea, Manchester City, Monaco, and Everton conspiring to give the transfer deadline some drama. With Lamine Camara, Folarin Balogun, and Enzo Fernandez playing central roles. Should Chelsea burn their relationship with Monaco. How good is Enzo Fernandez really? Real Madrid's best player vs. Real Madrid's most important player. Reports of Lamine Yamal's discontent were much exaggerated. Lionel Messi has retired from international football with a complete set.

462 | Youthful Naivety
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Arsenal cruising through Coventry. Manchester United losing to Hull. Liverpool rescuing a point against Newcastle. What is happening with Florian Wirtz? Chelsea looked good against Fulham, but what should happen with Enzo Fernandez, Robert Sanchez, and Emi Martinez? Julian Alvarez is still in limbo with Atletico Madrid. Lamine Yamal wasn't pleased being substituted. Real Madrid are off to the races with six points from two games, albeit in two different forms.

461 | Sagas, Scams, and Schemes
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Rodri to Barcelona, Julian Alvarez stuck at Atletico Madrid, the changing tides of football aesthetics and tactics, the box office nature of Jose Mourinho with Real Madrid, who can challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title, and the future of FIFA if Gianni Infantino stays... plus his African bloc.

460 | 2026/27 Preview
Daniel Tiluk and Carl Anka look ahead to the 2026/27 EPL season, discussing Arsenal's title defense, Manchester City without Pep Guardiola and possibly Rodri, Manchester United's squad building, Chelsea's veteran signings and what becomes of Enzo Fernandez, Liverpool's new look with Andoni Iraola, but no Mohamed Salah, and which other teams seem interesting before the season starts. Didn't really get to Spain, Germany, France, Italy, and the UCL because of the clock, but we'll drill into those areas next week!

459 | The State of It All (Feat. Paul Ansorge)
Daniel Tiluk is joined by Paul Ansorge to discuss the 2026 World Cup, FIFA's attempt to ruin a great competition, UEFA boycotts, and labels of corruption. England's failure against Argentina. France's stumble against Spain. Would Paul ever want to do a weekly podcast about Manchester United again, and what is a "podcast" in today's understanding? Also, interwoven discussions on mental health and the corrosive, predatory nature of many, if not all, gambling institutions.

England Focus (Feat. Muhammad Butt)
Daniel Tiluk is joined by Muhammad Butt to discuss the England national team, the Spain national team, his correct World Cup prediction, the annoyance of Argentina 2-1 England, why Thomas Tuchel gave way to the bad tendencies of his team, the position of Jude Bellingham, role of Harry Kane, emergence of Djed Spence, short arms of Jordan Pickford, and the cultural reasons that spawn notions of a maladapted "English mentality."

France Focus (Feat. Jonathan Johnson)
Daniel Tiluk is joined by Jonathan Johnson to discuss the France national team, the promise of their 2026 World Cup fading against Spain, the departure of Didier Deschamps, the arrival of Zinedine Zidane, which areas are places of concern (midfield and full-back), and what the French attack may look like with a more progressive manager in the fold. Why is Kylian Mbappé so brilliant with the national team/at World Cups? Also, the state of French football with regard to marketing television rights.

2026 World Cup | Imperial Spain
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss the 2026 World Cup final, Spain 1-0 Argentina. Spain were the best team. Why wasn't there better opposition? Was Rodri better at the tournament than Lionel Messi? Can a final detract from the whole competition. Did Argentina sour their tournament with their reaction after the game? Most disappointing players, teams, most impressive players and teams, and World Cup XI.

2026 World Cup | Tuchel Tactics
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Argentina 2-1 England, Spain 2-0 France, and an Argentina vs. Spain World Cup final. Thomas Tuchel and England's negative approach at 1-0, Argentina's mentality/character to fight back in every adverse position, the France midfield problem Didier Deschamps leaves behind (for Zinedine Zidane), Spain's ability to control back to front, and why watching in person is different from the television.

2026 World Cup | A Dying FIFA
Daniel and Have Hope discuss Portugal and the end of Cristiano Ronaldo. Did Gianni Infantino initiate the start of his end by interfering with Donald Trump in the United States vs. Belgium? Argentina, Egypt, and the use of VAR. Norway and Erling Haaland kill jogo bonito. The conditions that have led to Brazil's decline. Why isn't Jude Bellingham the face of England? France, Kylian Mbappé, and racism in Paraguay.

2026 World Cup | White Magic...
Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss the second round of group games at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
