Outspoken with White and Jordan

Spain are the 2026 FIFA World Cup champions after defeating Argentina in the final! However, does the defeat change anything about Lionel Messi's legacy?

We debate that before Phil Kitromilides joins us to unpack Spain's remarkable run of 16 major titles in just five years and explain what has turned them into world football's dominant force.

Plus, England beat France 6-4 in a thrilling third-place play-off, sparking a big debate over Thomas Tuchel's future. Should he stay in charge? It certainly got lively, with things becoming rather heated between me and Martin in the studio.

The inquest into England's World Cup heartbreak rolls on and joining us today is former England coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, to dissect exactly what went wrong and whether Tuchel deserves the chance to take the country into the next Euro's campaign.

Plus, he hits back at suggestions from Jude Bellingham that their was disharmony in the camp at Euro 2024, a tournament in which Jimmy was part of the coaching staff.

If that wasn't enough, there's also some boxing chat thrown in, with gold medal winner Delicious Orie chatting about the Commonwealth Games, and former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jnr looking ahead to his comeback to the ring.

Former West Ham Forward Michail Antonio joins Adrian Durham and Neil Foggin in the studio to discuss his memoir - Humans Not Robots: When Elite Sport and Real Life Collide.

Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment.

He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world?

With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities.

He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider.
More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots.
