Goodbye Infantino (FIFA RANT) + Why Zidane, Klopp & Tuchel are going International
Welcome back to Fred Asquith On The Ball, my new platform for discussing all things SPORT. Today we are talking foodyfoodyfootball and the continuing fallout from Infantino's attempted coup of the game we love. I have a good old rant about that.
I then move on to some managerial comings and goings. Howe leaves Newcastle - is England in the back of his mind? Zidane now at the France helm - that's terrifying. And asking WHY younger managers are opting for the International scene.
We finish with an ode to the everlasting power of Jordan Henderson. Timestamps below.

Fury vs Joshua Rant, Stop Booing Luke Littler + A New Golf Sensation?
Welcome back to Fred Asquith On The Ball, my new platform for discussing all things SPORT. Today we dive into dissecting Fury & Joshua both fighting last weekend as a warm up to their prospective bout at the end of 2026. I give my prediction plus have a good old rant about the potential of it being staged in the USA.
I then move onto defending Luke Littler aka The Mozart of Darts who incredulously is STILL getting booed by fans who - in my opinion - need to have a day off.
I also wax lyrical about a potential new golfing sensation after an incredible victory by a certain 21-year-old in the 3M Open last weekend.
We also touch on F1, Klopp for Germany, Guardiola turning down Italy, and MORE! Timestamps below.

5 Rules for a Perfect Long-Range Goal, Man Utd are Rotten, Dubois vs Wardley Review & Are World Cup Wins a factor in the GOAT Debate?
Published 19 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Someone like Lewandowski can be one of the best strikers in the world, but because he plays for Poland, his chances of winning a World Cup are much lower than someone who represents a country like France, for example. That doesn't make the French player better. The World Cup is a team achievement. A player can be incredible and still never win it because the team around him isn't strong enough to go all the way. Winning a World Cup makes you a more decorated player, but does not make you a better footballer. And that is my hot take. It's a very interesting point because, yeah, I understand why the discourse goes in that direction, like talking about have they won a World Cup, have they won the Champions League. […]
