Summary

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Tim Spiers for company in a big week across multiple competitions.

The Club World Cup reaches the semi-final stage with Chelsea taking on Fluminense and PSG up against Mbappe’s Real Madrid. Has Enzo Maresca stumbled upon a more counterattacking style at Stamford Bridge? And can Guler and Garcia continue their superb form for Los Blancos?

Speaking of superb, Spain are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euros in some style. But England’s status hangs in the balance after their defeat to France. Are the players fit enough? And are some there on reputation?

Mexico are Gold Cup winners again, overcoming the USA. Felipe Cardenas joins us to discuss the state of the World Cup co-hosts and 16-year-old prodigy Gilberto Mora.

It's Inter Totally Cup quarter-final time as Duncan Alexander takes on Producer Charlie.

And we react to the news that former Arsenal player Thomas Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
