Germany’s World Cup squad is here 🇩🇪Julian Nagelsmann has made his calls for the 2026 World Cup. We react to the biggest decisions, the surprises, the omissions, and what this squad says about Germany’s chances in North America. Who made it. Who missed out. And what comes next for Die Mannschaft.

Markus Fjørtoft welcomes Keven Bader on the show for the second time. Keven is blogger and podcaster for Fotbollskanalen and TV4 in Sweden. You can follow him @Keven_Bader, where he covers German football extensively.

Freiburg are preparing for the biggest game in their history.

Ahead of the Europa League Final against Aston Villa, Markus Fjørtoft and The Athletic's German Football Correspondent, Seb Stafford-Bloor, take a closer look at one of football’s most unique clubs and ask how Freiburg got here.

From Volker Finke to Christian Streich and now Julian Schuster, they discuss the continuity, culture and identity that have shaped Freiburg over decades and whether this European run is the natural next step rather than a surprise.

They also break down Schuster’s first season in charge, Freiburg’s route to the final, key players, and under what scenario Freiburg can beat Europa League specialist Unai Emery.
