Video Call: Norway Fever and World Cup Drama

Frank Arnesen and Søren Lerby are back with another video call, where the World Cup is, of course, still the main topic of conversation.

Norway has knocked Brazil out, and Frank and Søren are impressed by Ståle Solbakken’s coaching, Norway’s physical strength, and Haaland’s ability to decide games. At the same time, they’re looking forward to the quarterfinal against England, where Søren himself will be at the stadium in Miami.

There’s also talk of Brazil’s disappointing tournament run, the U.S.’s bizarre quarantine incident, Belgium, France’s match against Paraguay, and tonight’s big showdown between Spain and Portugal.

Finally, Søren answers a listener’s question about why he never played with shin guards—and the explanation may be simpler than you’d think.

Another round of World Cup talk, strong opinions, and great stories with Frank Arnesen and Søren Lerby.
