| Show Recap |
| The football has been non-stop this past weekend, but the sporting world in general is going off the chain! It's the Monday edition of World Football Daily and we hope you are strapped in and ready for a show full of good sports talk.
Our guest for the day is a football writer for the Daily Mail and a good friend of the show. Sami Mokbel joins the program today to review all the majors stories coming out of England this past weekend. Without question, one of the biggest stories coming out of the Premier League this weekend is the absolute demolition of Arsenal at the hands of Liverpool. It was this fixture that starts off a hellish run of matches for the Arsenal this month and next. It was this fixture that Arsene Wenger needed to get right to make sure that his team could stay top of table. But unfortunately, it looks like it's this fixture which might start a long and demoralizing slide from the pole position in the Premier League. The other main topic of discussion coming out of the Premier League this past weekend is the sad result that United got hosting Fulham. Fulham picked up a late goal to tie Manchester United 2-2 at Old Trafford and it looks like the whole of Manchester are turning their backs on David Moyes now. Lots of other results and stories to kick about with Sami and we're happy to have him on to discuss them. Rafa comes on after Sami to talk football, yes, but also to generally have fun looking at the sporting world as a whole. For example, Rafa and Ollie bring up the story of Michael Sam of Missouri who will be drafted in the NFL and has come out as an openly gay football player. Rafa, Ollie and the show are more than happy to support Sam in his journey in to the professional ranks and Rafa even points out that he thinks the NFL will really come to the support of their players who come out, probably more so than what we would see in European football. Of course, the Olympics are going on, and we're all happy to admit that we definitely got distracted by several of the competitions. In terms of football, Ollie sticks it to Rafa who claimed that Fulham are Manchester United's bogey team with no real evidence. Rafa also sticks to his theory that Moyes has until next season to show results for himself. The boys also review some Italian football where Ollie was right to worry that Juventus would slip up this weekend against Verona, but Roma were unable to capitalize on this as the Rome Derby ended 0-0. Rafa brings up the potential loan move of Brazilian no.1 Julio Cesar to Toronto FC before we sign off and send you on your way.
