474 | The Oscars of Football

Daniel Tiluk and Have Hope discuss Harry Kane winning the 2026 Ballon d'Or. What the award means for football as the game develops. How many might Lamine Yamal win, and will Kylian Mbappé ever be so lucky? Has early Real Madrid altered the perception of Jose Mourinho from his Benfica stint. Can Yan Diomandé keep out Vinicius? Which one manager, goalie, defender, midfielder, and striker do you want to save the world if it were needed? Chelsea drama with Estevao and Xabi Alonso - Manchester United are in good time for once in that regard. Again, who calls the police on a child/child's family?

469 | Hope Is Dope (Feat. Tosin Makinde)

Daniel Tiluk is joined by Tosin Makinde to discuss Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham. The reasons behind United's poor trajectory under the Glazer family. Liverpool 0-3 Manchester City was an impressive performance after the red card, but what does it all mean in context of the 114 charges? Yan Diomande's rise from Florida high school football to Real Madrid seems a unique story, but perhaps he isn't such a unique talent in the American football landscape. Why does Nigeria create so many strikers?
