In 1979, the first words spoken on ESPN weren't just an announcement.

If you're a fan, they were a sports prophecy.

What you'll see in the next minutes, hours, and days to follow.

Glad you're with us tonight.

May convince you, you've gone to sports heaven.

And right now, you're standing on the edge of tomorrow.

This fall, the next era of ESPN begins.

Sports forever.

Hello, welcome to the Gabbyn's show. We are split again. Today, I'm here in London on my own in the studio. Gabby is not here because he is still in Philadelphia in the US covering the Club World Cup for ESPN. Again today, Gabi, we've got so much going on, even outside of the Club World Cup with some transfers, some other other stories afra and john texter obviously features

in the show again today but we wanted to start with chessie faramango because there was we felt

a lot of things to talk about in this game yeah absolutely uh jules there's uh there's a time to talk about

um and i was at this game which of course adds to it. I think what's interesting here,

and I think it's inescapable if we just step back more broadly. The Brazilian teams have done

extremely well in this Cup World Cup so far. And really, there was a vibe going into Chelsea

against Flamengo. Philadelphia pretty much

taken over by Flamingo fans. I named obviously the most noise in the stadium and whatever

else. And I mean, I spoke somebody from Chelsea who said, look, this is going to be an away game today.

And I felt that way.

Chelsea taking the lead against the run of play and then pretty much collapsing after the break, Jules.

Yeah, I thought they were never really in that game, which was strange.

And we kind of knew what Flamingo would do.

They keep the ball so well.
