For good and for bad, the Club World Cup is going to leave a massive imprint on the game we love. So, to mark its arrival, across three special episodes from Los Angeles, Andy is speaking to journalists, locals and insiders to get under the skin of this divisive competition.

In Episode 1, Andy gets to grips with what's at stake in this tournament for teams from across Europe and South America: publicity, player welfare, and competitive pride.

Join us for Episode 2 on Monday, where PSG hit Hollywood at a transformational point in the club's history.
