Messi moving, the Jacob Blake boycotts and Hiddink's Curacao
About this episode
Mani Djazmi, Pat Nevin and Heather O'Reilly reflect on Lionel Messi's decision to leave Barcelona with Gaston Recondo, who was one of the journalists to break the news in Argentina.
With Major League Soccer joining Basketball and Tennis in calling off matches in solidarity with anti-racism protests in the USA, we hear from Colorado Rapids forward Kei Kamara and discuss the social consciousness in American sports.
And we'll hear why Curacao's footballers are dreaming of reaching the World Cup with former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Netherlands manager Guus Hiddink at the helm, from possibly the country's most-capped player, Gevaro Nepomuceno.
