On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, first is Martin's Letter from the Gantry in preparation for his commentary duties at the upcoming Club World Cup. Then Neil and Martin discuss the tournament and what it means for the game. Next it's more 'We Need to Talk About' in the form of Ange Postecoglou's sacking from Spurs, and also the Unfortunate passing of Uriah Rennie. After that it's our usual Three of the Best (featuring players involved in The Nations League), and then we have The Way We Were which is all about the (mostly) forgotten Confederations Cup. Lastly it's Stoppage time... Ronaldo time. Portugal have won The Nations League!
