#164 – World Cup Bound




Rant Cast show

Summary: [With apologies for the less than optimal recording quality on Ed’s side this week – Ed recorded from a very noisy New York City] Rant Cast returns after the international break, with regular presenters Ed and Paul discussing all the fall out from World Cup qualifiers around the world. There is likely to be a strong Manchester United contingent at the tournament in Brazil. We look back on United’s victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light – a fixture in which the Reds’ second half performance eclipsed the first, but Adnan Januzaj stole the show and headlines. The 18-year-old Belgian has become the subject of much speculation in the past fortnight, but when will the club actually tie him down to a new deal. And we look ahead to United’s fixtures in the coming week. David Moyes’ side takes on in-form Southampton at Old Trafford in the Premier League followed by Real Sociedad in the Champions League. How will the Scot’s side fare against two teams with contrasting performances in recent weeks? Finally, we take your questions.
