Can I just ask you one question about the US?

As an outsider, as a Mexican, how far can the US go in the World Cup?

Do you think they can meet the quarterfinals or do you think that maybe not?

Let's just finish on a positive note.

It's mid-January now, you're confident of getting back in March.

What does the perfect 2026 look like for Santi Jimenez?

Hello and welcome to the Football Reporters.

This week we will be looking back at Arsenal against Manchester United.

A famous win for interim boss Michael Carrick.

What that does to the title race.

And we'll be looking ahead to the final round of Matchday 8 of the Champions League group stage with all the possible permutations.

Gentlemen, nice to see you both in person, in live, not with the staccato kind of Zoom version.

How are we both?

You well, Rob?

Well, let's get into the game first, shall we?

To be fair, Rob, I might give you the first dibs at this, but only because I put you on the spot in the last pod about whether Carrick would be good enough.

very loaded questions suggesting that we shouldn't get into this trap of Solskjaer 2.0 and all that.

How surprised were you by how well they played at Arsenal?

Was that the most impressive thing for you?

At 2-2, you suddenly think, OK, Arsenal are going to sort of rouse themselves out of this slumber and get themselves over the line.
