Bottom line up front: This week we discuss related to the World Cup such as the Nations League tournament and qualifiers, the rivalry between the USA and Canada, and potential changes to the World Cup qualifying process. Transfer rumours and Ruben Neves

Key Points:

World Cup Changes: We touch on the Nations League tournament, the rivalry between the USA and Canada, and the potential changes to the World Cup qualifying process. We briefly talk about England's style of play and success in qualifiers, and proposed a World Group system similar to the Davis Cup in Tennis in order to increase the number of teams that qualify for the World Cup and make it more competitive. Should we get rid of seeding to make it more interesting?
