“Americans are struggling to afford things. That is a fact. These tickets are too expensive. That is also a fact.”
The excitement around this year’s World Cup has been dampened by Fifa’s dynamic ticket pricing model. Even Donald Trump said he wouldn’t pay the extraordinary prices being asked for tickets. Leander Schaerlaeckens and Alexander Abnos join the panel to discuss the reality for football fans.

‘It’s been a breath of fresh air’
As a turbulent season at Tottenham comes to a close, and with their chances of relegation significantly reduced thanks to back-to-back wins against Wolves and Aston Villa, are the club finally on the right track with their new manager Roberto De Zerbi?
The panel have their say on a remarkable season for Spurs.

‘Wherever he goes he might need time.’
Andoni Iraola and Bournemouth will be parting ways in the summer when the Spanish manager’s contract ends. Speculation is hotting up on where he will land next, after rumours of him returning to Athletic Club proved wide of the mark.
With Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle potentially looking for new managers in the summer, it’s up for grabs where Iraola will be working come next season.

‘Arteta’s behaviour on the touchline is disgraceful’
Arsenal won their hotly contested Champions League semi-final against Atlético Madrid on the pitch, but eyes were drawn to the behaviour of their managers, Mikel Arteta and Diego Simeone, off the pitch …

‘It does feel like, as a fan, he’s one of us and feels a little bit extra special.’
Arsenal are in the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years after they edged out Atlético Madrid 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-final, and it was local lad Bukayo Saka who scored the decisive goal.
Mikel Arteta’s men will learn who they face in the final tonight, when Bayern Munich host PSG in the second leg of the other semi-final.
Whoever they play in Budapest later this month, Arsenal will be looking for more moments of magic from Saka, the academy graduate who has become their star.

‘Hiring Michael Carrick is a trap.’
Manchester United have qualified for the Champions League and would be five points clear at the top of the Premier League table if the competition had started from the moment Michael Carrick was appointed.
They have also beaten Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea under Carrick, which has led to speculation that he will be offered the job on a permanent basis.
However, the Football Weekly panel highlight the special set of circumstances he has been able to manage in, with United playing fewer minutes than any of their rivals this season.
Is Carrick the right man for the job or will he end up like Ole Gunnar Solskjær, another former player who was given the job permanently after a successful interim period?

‘Now the pressure really is on City.’
Arsenal have a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League after beating Fulham, as they attempt to win a first title in 22 years.
But it was the nature of their 3-0 win that has impressed the Football Weekly panel, with Mikel Arteta’s men scoring all of their goals in the first half, it meant they were able to physically and emotionally reserve energy for the games ahead, starting with their Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Atlético Madrid on Tuesday.
