Summary

The Rank Squad is in New York City for a crossover special! We teamed up with another Bleacher Report podcast dynasty, Stick to Football, bringing in host Connor Rogers for an in depth discussion on the football x football space. Sam ranked five footballers who could have made it in the NFL if they'd trained their entire lives for it, and Connor replied with three of his own from NFL who could go back the other way. Hot Takes this week included a discussion on how a 'Best Transfers XI' from this summer would get on in each of the top five European leagues and whether it's actually a good thing for Gareth Bale to go to China at this point in his career, before Connor asked his 'Burning Question': If a newbie was going to watch football in Europe this season, which team should they support for entertainment value? Still no roulette wheel (Thanks Heathrow) so instead we played a game: The Matchup, where Connor described the traits of several NFL teams and we gave them an equivalent in European football; before Sam rounded it off as ever, with nonsense: ranking his favourite skyscrapers of the New York skyline and comparing them to Premier League Clubs.

0:47.7	It's an encore for the intro, the return of the prelude, the gift and the curse of this podcast.
0:51.9	But we're beyond reasonable doubt that this blueprint is the blue magic where a star is born,
0:54.2	past the crown la Familia, and see this over, lifting you to the glory of heaven, a renegade poet, addicted to the intro game and
