This episode of the Guardian's Football Weekly podcast sees host Max Rushden joined by Robyn Cowen, Dan Bardell, Sam Dalling and Matt Hughes to unpack Fifa's ongoing crisis around president Gianni Infantino, whose grip on power is under scrutiny beyond opposition from Uefa. The discussion matters because it questions whether there is sufficient momentum among football's governing bodies to force him out, amid a chaotic week of World Cup sales pitches, boycott threats and backtracking.

The panel also reflects on Eddie Howe's departure from Newcastle United and pays tribute to the late Kevin Keegan, alongside a busy week of transfer news and the opening round of the Carabao Cup. The episode closes with Fitba Corner, covering Rangers dropping further points in the Scottish Premiership.
