Summary

World Cup 2034 is heading to Saudi Arabia and WC 2030 to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Martin Samuel was revolted by proceedings… “FIFA conducted two one horse races yesterday.”

Is it a decision to grow the game, or a demonstration of 'money talks' ?

Martin joins Tom Clarke, Tony Cascarino and Jonathan Northcroft who offer their thoughts on the decision, the process and Gianni Infantino.

Elsewhere, more problems in Manchester. Who is to blame for the mess at United? Is Dan Ashworth a patsy?

With one win in ten for Manchester City is it now a crisis? And Tony takes a closer look at Haaland.
