Talking City - Manchester City podcast

The 2026 World Cup is still a year away and the Talking City podcast is already predicting who will score the most goals at the tournament in North America. It will not come as a surprise that Tyrone Marshall believes Erling Haaland could "easily" win the Golden Boot for Norway next year, after he secured their place in the tournament against Italy last night. He tells Alex James about the prolific striker's immense workload this season - where he could play over 70 games for club and country - and a night of contrasts for Haaland and his City teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was between the sticks for Italy.
