With the row over the number of games elite-level footballers play reaching a fever pitch over the last week or so, why are FIFA still so determined to press ahead with the revamped Club World Cup?

As Breel Embolo became the first player in World Cup history to score against the country of their birth, when he scored in Switzerland’s 1-0 win over Cameroon, it made me think about National Identity at the World Cup, and how interlinked immigration and football really are.

There are many pioneers of Football who paved the way for the greats of today. However, nowadays we rarely speak about the first Brazilian megastar, the King, Pelé. If you haven’t already watched it, let me tell you why Pelé is one of the most must-watch Football’s films out there.
