Steve VickersHOST
in the second round of the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, which also carries the title of the African Asian Pacific Cup at that stage.
Steve VickersHOST
The Intercontinental Cup replaces what was the annual FIFA Club World Cup.
Steve VickersHOST
All fairly confusing, Piers.
Piers EdwardsHOST
It is, but I'm afraid it's actually even more confusing because when the Intercontinental Cup replaced the annual Club World Cup, it didn't just come with one title, but with four titles.
Piers EdwardsHOST
The first on offer, the African-Asian Pacific Cup, as you say.
Piers EdwardsHOST
Now, there had to be a playoff to get there.

Steve VickersHOST
That audio from the Fan Zone podcast, I was talking there to and by and together with my colleague Simba Chiminya.
Steve VickersHOST
Let's go to social media now.
Ryan McCainGUEST
Four goal contributions in three matches, I believe.
Ryan McCainGUEST
And I think for me, the best comparison thus far, not to take a dig at Alexander Sorlott, but I saw a clip on Twitter today, throwing it back to the Club World Cup, where Marcos Llorente sent a low cross into the box.
Ryan McCainGUEST
against PSG.
Ryan McCainGUEST
Oh, it was Surlott's miss
Edwin AshHOST
Yeah? The expanded World Cup.
Edwin AshHOST
We've got a Champions League format change, expanded World Cup, Club World Cup, Nations League, And with that, match minutes and now congested minutes, that's three games in eight days, have also risen, especially for the top six clubs by which Declan Rice plays for one.
Edwin AshHOST
So those congested minutes rose 29%.
Edwin AshHOST
29% for congested minutes.
Carlo GarganeseHOST
But then again, where are you going to play? The Confederations Cup was played in like in June.
Carlo GarganeseHOST
And I think also part of the issue is we need to... get rid of there's too many too many tournaments at the end of the season when players need rest you know we've got the that club world cup um which is going to be happening every whatever however many years it is for the clubs um there's just too much football so we just need to yeah we need we need to we need less football really but it was had it had its um you know attraction the confederations cup for sure
Nima TavallaeyHOST
Yeah, no, no, absolutely.
Nima TavallaeyHOST
I like the Confederations Cup, but I think that if when you've got the Nations League and you've got all this, I think it's almost, you can't, like, we can't have more football.

Lola Katz RobertsHOST
It's good to see these powerful allies joining together to protect the game that we love.
Lola Katz RobertsHOST
um because really the infantino stuff and the backdrop to the summer's world cup is just escalating um to more and more ridiculous levels um and you know you see here calendar creep um with more frequent club world cups um you know obviously we have the world cup in qatar mid-season i mean i hate set but you are also guilty of calendar creep too with the nation's league do we really need the nation's league um I'd love to ask that to professional footballers who are feeling increasingly overworked.
Lola Katz RobertsHOST
But good to see and hopefully a sign of interesting reforms to come soon.
Lola Katz RobertsHOST
In other news...
Caleb ZiblimGUEST
Yeah.
Isaac Kofi AdjeiHOST
But first I wanted to, I want us to look at the, uh, the FIFA Club World Cup-
Caleb ZiblimGUEST
Yeah
Isaac Kofi AdjeiHOST
... which was supposed to be the litmus test.
Brian MofokengHOST
I understand that, but let's break it down for our listeners.
Brian MofokengHOST
I remember in the original FIFA Club World Cup, it was the same story.
Brian MofokengHOST
The European teams only got into the semis towards the latter part of the tournament, whereby all the other ones would have cancelled each other out by the time they do meet them.
Brian MofokengHOST
So PSG, by virtue of the rankings, are the top team at the moment.
Tshepang MailwaneGUEST
But we've seen how it is with Europe in football, not just in this competition, but in most competitions.
Tshepang MailwaneGUEST
I mean, at the World Cup, for example, they have the most teams.
Tshepang MailwaneGUEST
At the FIFA Club World Cup, they have the most

teams.
Marcelo AllendeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But, yeah, I'm really excited to play against them and I think we will do in this semi-final in December.
Michael AbramsonHOST
The Chilean admitted that he only realized after joining Sundowns how high the level was at the club, having now won the Champions League and been at the FIFA Club World Cup with the Tuane Giants.
Marcelo AllendeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
No, when I came in I never thought about that.
Marcelo AllendeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But when I started to understand the level we have here in Sundowns, I said we can fight against everyone and this type of game we need to show.
Jeff WardHOST
Chelsea captain Rhys James has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury earlier this month.
Jeff WardHOST
Trump presented James with the Club World Cup trophy after Chelsea defeated PSG at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Ed ClementsHOST
Trump, he didn't really endorse Trump, though.
Ed ClementsHOST
You know who's about to go down? Cole Palmer.
