Rafael da Silva’s most memorable Sir Alex Ferguson moment was just after Manchester United had lost the Premier League title on goal difference to their city rivals in 2012. Fergie told the players to remember how the loss felt, and indeed United came back to win the league the next season. Sir Alex understood Rafa and got inside his head. Also in part two, there’s chat about scoring at Anfield –...

Brazil has an uncanny habit of producing truly special right-backs, and Rafael da Silva fits that classification. In 2007, he signed for Manchester United on the same day as his twin Fábio, and the brothers have now released a joint-memoir, The Sunshine Kids . In part one of this engaging Big Interview, Rafa suggests that Ronaldinho represents the spirit of Brazilian football more than Neymar. Ron...

You know the headline: Leo Messi, maybe the greatest footballer to ever take the field, will leave Barcelona, the only club he has ever played for. Here is my take - and your questions - on how we got here, what is real and what is spin, and what may lie ahead for Messi and for FC Barcelona, whose financial crisis is ground zero for this monumental move.  Hosted on Acast.

In our last Euro 2020 episode Graham and Pete take on questions about England's plan for Qatar and beyond; who starts next winter's World Cup as favourites and whether the laissez-faire refereeing of the Euros can unlock a faster kind of football. Thanks for all your support this season and especially during these daily Euro shows. We're taking a short break before the new season, when we will hav...

Ciao ragazzi, and welcome to the first part of the Q&A, as we bring our Euro 2020 series to a close. Here, Graham and Pete Jenson discuss: the under-sung stars of the tournament; the errors made by England's management team; and the centurions at the heart of defence for the new champions of Europe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode. If you'd...

Recorded late, right after it went down, and with more than a little frustration in my voice. Forza Italia, the new champions of Europe, but where was the new England we had grown so fond of watching? Undone by slow decision-making on the touchline and a tired talisman on the pitch. Here's my on-the-whistle take on the final.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a...

Hola The last time England met Italy at a major tournament was in the first group game of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Italy won 2-1 that day, thanks to goals from Balotelli and Marchisio. One of our Socios posed a challenge: Which player from the England and Italy teams from 2014 would make the current teams? Never one to shirk a challenge, this is my response... Enjoy G Hosted on Acast. See acast....

Hola! England have reached their first major final since 1966. Here's my thoughts on a fantastic game at Wembley, when a young England team came of age. Enjoy G Hosted on Acast.

Hola! Wow.... what a semi-final. This was recorded in the early hours of this morning, after I'd gathered my thoughts on events at Wembley last night. It was a privilege to be there. What. A. Night. Olmo, Pedri, Jorginho, Chiellini... just incredible. Enjoy Graham Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.

Hola! This is it... the day of the Euro 2020 Italy-Spain semi-final - and I'm literally on my way to Wembley. Jump in my London Cab and listen to some of my semi-final experiences covering La Roja ... and more thoughts on tonight's match. Plus, my Bet365 Player of the Day. Enjoy G Hosted on Acast.

Hola! I'm in London ahead of tomorrow night's Italy-Spain Euro 2020 semi-final. Listen up for how La Roja vanquished a century-old Italian curse at Euro 2008. We also dip into the mailbag to answers questions on how Spain can find a way past Roberto Mancini's hugely impressive Italy. And there's also my Bet365 Player of the Day! Enjoy Hosted on Acast.

Here's what I think about Gareth Southgate's career-defining moments on and off the pitch, including his response to racists and his management of a talent-packed squad; which players might make big moves after the tournament; why we haven't seen much of Thiago so far. And a loan move happens as we are recording! Wolves fans, be excited.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information...

Nerves shredded, I send you this from the post-apocalyptic aftermath of Spain's quarter-final with Switzerland. Don't let the outcome fool you, it was Switzerland's gameplan, and not Spain's that prevailed. But thanks to Unai Simon, we're on our way to Wembley.  Hosted on Acast.

Leo Messi's transition into free agency was a big story yesterday, so here's why I think he's probably not going, but he won't stay until he shapes his final years at FC Barcelona as much as he can while in a position of maximum leverage.  Then we talk Spain v Switzerland and Italy v Belgium, and why Sergio Busquets has proved to be so influential for La Roja.  Hosted on Acast.

Hola! We’ve dipped into The Big Interview archive to serve you up a nice little slice of Sven-Goran Eriksson, in which he reflects on the relationship between Roberto Mancini and Gianluca Vialli at Sampdoria. He tells us not only how the Goal Twins ran the dressing room and effectively the whole club, but also how Mancini the artist could turn into a raging bull. The two men are reunited in the It...

A blessed day of rest, so a good chance to get through some of your questions. Including: which of the lesser-known players would I go for if I was FINALLY in charge of a major European club? Who are the equivalents of Rio, Wrighty and Ally on Spanish television's coverage? And which England player has unlocked Harry Kane's mojo?  Hosted on Acast.

Another late-night episode recorded right after Spain's game (with an added bonus recorded after France were knocked out by Switzerland - stick around at the end!) I loved watching Spain v Croatia - I hope you did too. It was about explosive football, some weird moments and above all, character. Watch out. Here come Spain.  Hosted on Acast.

Belgium have just knocked out Portugal here in Seville in a game that built to a thrilling finale. I recorded this as soon as I left the stadium, just after speaking to Thibaut Courtois - and that was a conversation that really got me thinking. So this is a story about a text I sent a long time ago, and a moment of audacity that helped to win the game. This one's a little different, I hope you lik...

I'm in Seville tonight for Belgium v Portugal - not just the tie of the round but potentially the tie of the tournament. Here I'll tell you about what I learned from interviews with Roberto Martinez and Jan Vertonghen and we'll revisit an old Big Interview - with Martinez's right-hand man, Shaun Maloney.  Hosted on Acast.

Forgive the croak in my voice - this was recorded at the end of a very long day and night, before Spain left Seville ... destination - Copenhagen.  In their destruction of a disappointing Slovakia team, Spain gave us a reminder of what they can do when everything clicks and when the opposition's guard drops. They have a history of these blowout wins in recent years.  Does that make them contenders...

We just finished recording this - my view on Scotland's exit last night and then an examination of what is at stake in the game I'll be leaving for shortly - Spain v Slovakia - and the decisions facing Luis Enrique. Socios, thanks for sending your questions in - please keep asking them, I'll respond to as many as I can on these daily podcasts.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more infor...

Here's my look ahead to the final round of games in Group D: Scotland v Croatia and Czech Republic v England. With the news that  Billy Gilmour is isolating after a positive Covid test, will Scotland find yet another way to break our hearts? I don't think so. And can England find the courage to unleash Jack Grealish on the Euros?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This i...

Hola! This was recorded late last night, following Spain's disappointing 1-1 draw with Poland in Seville in their second group game of Euro 2020.  The result leaves them with just two points from their first two games - and sees their Group E qualification hopes resting on Wednesday's meeting with Slovakia.  Hope you enjoy Love ya G Hosted on Acast.
