Video Call: The World Cup Final, Messi, and the Superliga—What’s Left

The World Cup is over, and Frank Arnesen and Søren Lerby look back on a tournament that was full of drama—and a well-deserved world champion.

Spain is receiving high praise for the way it performed throughout the tournament, and the two former national team stars explain why they believe the victory in the final was fully deserved. At the same time, they discuss whether Rodri was the right choice as the tournament’s best player, or whether Kylian Mbappé should have taken home the honor after yet another impressive final tournament. Lionel Messi is also receiving high praise for once again demonstrating his class on the biggest stage.

There’s also a recap of the entire World Cup, with Norway highlighted as the tournament’s positive surprise, while Brazil disappoints. At the same time, Frank and Søren discuss FIFA’s role during the tournament, the controversial refereeing decisions, and the much-discussed contact between Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino.

The segment also covers the Tour de France, where Jonas Vingegaard’s crash and Mads Pedersen’s stage victory are discussed, before turning the focus to a new soccer season. The Superliga is just around the corner, and Frank and Søren share their predictions for FC Copenhagen, FC Midtjylland, AGF, Brøndby, and the other teams before answering a listener’s question about modern soccer players’ style, fashion, and social media.

Another round of incisive analysis, personal opinions, and plenty of soccer with Frank Arnesen and Søren Lerby.
