The end of the world's game as we know it?

It's not the first time FIFA president Gianni Infantino has sparked an outrage, but might he finally have taken it one step too far? Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to explain why FIFA's move could change international football forever.

Plus, a perfectly smooth transition from Didier Deschamps to Zinedine Zidane for France, but a calamity for Italy as they return to Roberto Mancini after three spins of the dice. Also, Real Madrid are putting their backing behind José Mourinho, but will the changes at the Bernabéu be enough to challenge Barcelona?
