Hello Rank Squad!
October has crept up on us quietly, and there's less than a fortnight now until we find out who will claim the coveted Ballon d'Or Trophy - the little golden ball that signifies the best player in the world over the previous season.
So, with that in mind, we've put together our own thoughts on who deserves football's most prestigious individual honour. Jack is joined by Dougie Critchley to talk through each of our Top Fives for this season's trophy. Will Rodri's European glory take him to top spot? Is this the moment that Vinicius Jr achieves what countryman and idol Neymar Jr never could? Or could an outside bet sweep in to take the throne?
Before that, there's time for Things We Love, which includes a discussion on Trent Alexander-Arnold's rumoured links to Real Madrid, a wonderful story from New Mexico about a USL club doing their bit for the community, and some notes from Bolivia on their national team's resurgence and famous upset against Colombia in this international break.
It's Ranks!
And remember, if you’d like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
