World Cup Uncensored

Cristiano Ronaldo’s public fallout with Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus has made headlines this week, after the Portuguese striker and one of the greatest footballers of all time broke his silence on what happened between them, leading to him leaving the Portugal camp early. In a lengthy statement posted across his social media pages, Ronaldo recounts the “promises” the manager made to him about playing time and the games in which he would be used. He then alleges that the manager went back on what he had told Cristiano in private, substituting him early in one game and leaving him on the bench for another. Piers Morgan has been staunchly defending Ronaldo’s statement online, having previously revealed on Football Uncensored earlier this week that the one thing Ronaldo does not tolerate is lying and disrespect. So does Portugal’s greatest-ever player have a point? Or, as many have argued online, is he behaving unprofessionally, with the manager having every right to treat him like any other player? Joining us…

As Manchester City’s alleged cheating scandal continues to grow, with the club submitting an appeal against the 114 charges they have been found guilty of, another huge story has begun circulating online involving one of the greatest players of all time: Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo left the Portugal camp early following an alleged fallout with manager Jorge Jesus. The reasons behind his departure are currently the subject of speculation, but Piers weighs in on what he believes happened between the pair. Joining Piers and Simon Jordan to discuss the Manchester City case, and what sanctions the club could face if they are found guilty following their appeal, is Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol. Finally, we are joined by Como 1907 Football Club President Mirwan Suwarso for an exclusive interview discussing the origins of the takeover, Cesc Fàbregas’ influence, their business model, and, finally, what he makes of Manchester City’s alleged cheating. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:37 The panel react to the…

After over two years of waiting, we finally have a verdict on the 115 charges Manchester City faced over alleged financial breaches. The verdict? Guilty on 114 counts. Discussion online has erupted over what could be the biggest cheating scandal by a club in football history, which also saw Man City win more than 25 trophies since the new ownership took over in 2008. With Piers Morgan calling for relegation and a suspended points deduction to stop them bouncing back, and Simon Jordan suggesting an alternative punishment that wouldn’t negatively impact the league, what should their punishment be? Joining Piers and Simon on Football Uncensored to discuss the case are the Daily Mail’s Chief Sports Writer Oliver Holt, British football broadcaster Kieran Maguire, and Man City fan and online creator Steven McInerney. And finally, to react to the Ireland vs Israel match, the protests by Irish players against the country alleged to be committing genocide in Gaza, and all the discourse that followed the match, is…

Andros Townsend was the talk of social media after a viral clip showed him being run over by a pitch roller during a warm-up for his team in Thailand. Thankfully, Andros was left unscathed and even went on to play in the same match later that evening. This came during the same weekend of major footballing upsets, after Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton, Chelsea lost 3-0 to Brentford, and Manchester United rescued a late point against Fulham in a performance that Gary Neville described as one of the worst he’s seen in Manchester United’s history. Manchester United’s misery has also followed them off the pitch, as academy superstar JJ Gabriel announced that he will no longer be training with the squad in a move that could see him try to force his way out of the club. So, joining Football Uncensored this week for an exclusive episode debating all this and more are former Premier League star Andros Townsend himself, former England and Premier League striker Jay Bothroyd, and our two hosts, Piers Morgan and Simon…

VAR is once again at the centre of controversy, after the PGMOL have come out and admitted they mistakenly overturned the offside decision for Erling Haaland’s goal that won them the match 1-0 against Manchester United. In the same game, questions were asked about referee Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Phil Foden for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes but not Fernandes who kicked Foden whilst on the floor. And with questions surrounding Michael Carrick’s recent performance and whether he is good enough to manage a club the size of Manchester United, we invited former Man United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich to discuss it all, alongside former referee Mark Halsey who joins our regular co hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:21) The panel react to Manchester United’s pitiful loss to a 10-man Manchester City (00:04:21) Why is Man United’s squad this poor and will Michael Carrick come unstuck this season? (00:07:44) Mark Bosnich on why he thinks Manchester United are struggling…

Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan return for a new weekly football show, Football Uncensored. In the first episode, they are joined by former player Graeme Souness and former Tottenham Hotspur owner and The Apprentice host Alan Sugar to discuss all the latest from the Premier League and beyond. Following Arsenal’s emphatic win over Chelsea at the weekend, Piers suggests it was one of the Gunners’ best performances under Mikel Arteta, praising the likes of Declan Rice for their contribution. Souness, however, was less impressed with the England international and doubled down on his previous criticism of Rice, suggesting the Arsenal defensive midfielder ‘cheats’ by dropping into the back four and lacks footballing ability. Simon and Piers then discuss Mike Dean’s recent comments on Jamie Vardy’s podcast, where he claimed he used to play games to entertain himself while officiating Premier League matches. Piers calls the revelation nothing short of a disgrace, while Simon reveals that Mike had previously told him…

Sports Uncensored is joined by football journalist Henry Winter to react to the news that FIFA President Gianni Infantino has offered football federations an 'ultimatum' to support his plans in selling off the World Cup to foreign investors and 'privatising' the biggest sporting tournament in the world. Infantino has publicly come out and said federations who support his proposal will be offered $40 million instead of the $10 million they currently get, which Piers questions the legality of 'essentially a bribe'.

Spain won the World Cup for the second time in their history yesterday, beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time. The Spanish celebrations were marred however by the Argentinian’s ‘disgusting’ behaviour after losing, with player Leandro Parades throttling Spanish players trying to celebrate and Nahuel Molina whacking Rodri in the chest as multiple fights broke out all over the pitch. Despite the bad behaviour from the Argentinians, Spain lifted the trophy (alongside US President Donald Trump who tried to get in the team picture) and were the deserved champions, having only conceded one goal all tournament, a new record. In the final episode of World Cup Uncensored, co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are once again joined by former England captain John Terry to react to the final, England’s third place play-off against France, the future of England under Tuchel and finally the tragic passing of footballing legend Kevin Keegan. (00:00) Introduction (01:16) World Cup Final Reaction (11:05) England's World Cup…

Another World Cup semi-final, another defeat for England. Manager Thomas Tuchel has been praised all tournament for his bravery in making big decisions but has been criticised for being 'cowardly' in his substitutions and set up after scoring the first goal against Argentina, which many believe costed the Three Lions the game. Host Simon Jordan is joined by former England captain John Terry, who share agreement that England's loss was solely down to the managers 'negative' subs, as he brought on defenders for midfielders and tried to hold on to the lead. John called it one of the "worst tactical decisions" he had ever seen and says yesterday has made him question Tuchel's status as an 'elite manager'. Graeme Souness, former Tottenham player and Scotland international, however believes the main responsibility lies with the players - believing they need to seize the game earlier and not capitulate after the goal goes in. Graeme says Tuchel's main point of criticism should lie with the initial squad that he…

Jude Bellingham again... who else? England reach another World Cup semi-final as Bellingham fired two past Norway - one being in extra time, to dump Erling Haaland out of the tournament. But what stole the headlines was the post-match interviews of England manager Thomas Tuchel and goal-scoring hero Jude Bellingham... Gabriel Clarke first asked Tuchel for his thoughts on the game, to which the manager said the team were 'not good enough' and 'lucky' to have won the game. Clarke then asked Bellingham for his reaction to the managers comments, where he replied 'whatever' and added that they 'wont win every game playing a thousand passes'. Is this another case of the media creating rifts in the England squad or is this simply tempers flaring after the game? Is Clarke to blame for asking this question? Finally the boys give their predictions for the Argentina game as a 39-year-old Lionel Messi continues his incredible form and look to defend their World Cup trophy. Joining co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan…

As England prepare for their quarter final match vs Norway, questions over FIFA's involvement in refereeing and sporting decisions are growing. England right back Jarrell Quansah, who received a red card in the match against Mexico after VAR interference, is set to miss the next two games England play this World Cup. This comes right off the back of Egypt's head coach calling out FIFA for 'rigging' the game in Argentina's favour, after losing the game 3-2 and many calling the decisions awarded to Argentina 'suspicious'. Host of the show Simon Jordan is joined by former England captain John Terry and former England and Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas to debate whether the supporters and players can ever trust any FIFA judgement after the Folarin Balogun red card situation, how far England can go in the tournament and what they will need to do to stop Erling Haaland... (00:00) Introduction (01:41) The panel react to France vs Morocco and discuss the crunch time (04:15) England vs Mexico reaction + dealing with…

In this episode of World Cup Uncensored, Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are joined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry to react to England's outstanding victory over Mexico, the growing belief around Thomas Tuchel's side and FIFA's controversial decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension ahead of the quarter-finals. Simon launches into a passionate criticism of FIFA and Gianni Infantino, arguing football's governing body has undermined its own rules by reversing Balogun's ban midway through the tournament. John questions why players should be punished for refereeing mistakes and believes the bigger issue is the standard of officiating at the World Cup. The panel also heap praise on England's performance at the Azteca, with John hailing it as one of the nation's best displays in recent memory. Thomas Tuchel earns…

After England came back from one nil down to beat the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1, questions are being asked over how much further the Three Lions can go in this tournament if they keep playing this poorly.

To discuss Harry Kane's masterclass and more, co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are rejoined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry to give us his expert analysis on the game yesterday and how Mexico's climate might see England get knocked out in the round of 16.

In this episode of World Cup Uncensored, Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are re-joined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry as well as former Premier League manager Sean Dyche to react to England's performance against Panama, England's hopes to progress far in the tournament and Enzo Maresca's 'apology' to Chelsea for leaving during the season to lineup his replacement as Man City manager once Pep Guardiola was confirmed to be leaving and more. John believes that although the England players will be relieved to top the group, the manager will have major concerns over England's defense and how they have allowed many chances to some lacklustre opposition. Piers believes the key for England's success lies in letting Declan Rice play the number 8 position for England and having the license to bomb up and crash the box, whereas…

Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are re-joined by Chelsea legend John Terry for this episode of World Cup Uncensored as the boys react to England's draw against Ghana, Brazil's thrashing of an uninspiring Scotland and of course Cristiano Ronaldo silencing the critics with an emphatic brace against Uzbeksitan. Firstly the boys break down England Manager Thomas Tuchel's tactical set up against Ghana as they looked to hold on to the draw that would see them qualify to the next round of the World Cup. John believes Tuchel needed to make a change in personnel quicker as it was clear quite quickly how Ghana planned to sit behind the ball and try to counter. Was this a prime example of why people believed Cole Palmer should've been on the plane? Scotland manager Steve Clarke was under fire for not only the performance on the pitch as Brazil…

Just before we began recording for World Cup Uncensored, news broke that Keir Starmer is stepping down from his role as British Prime Minister and has formally resigned in an address to the nation. Rejoining co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan to discuss this (and plenty of football too, don’t worry!) is regular guest and former Chelsea and England Captain John Terry. Terry also reflects on the previous episode, where he and former Premier League manager Sean Dyche discussed the pathway for English coaches and their opportunities to manage both the England national team and leading Premier League clubs. While Terry believes English managers deserve more opportunities, he also agrees with Simon Jordan's view that many have failed to make the most of the chances they have been given. The conversation then turns to Terry's own managerial ambitions. He discusses being overlooked by Chelsea for…

Has Cristiano Ronaldo finally fallen off? Should he be dropped for Portugal's next game? Is the Messi vs Ronaldo debate officially over? Football manager and icon Sean Dyche joins co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan to discuss Ronaldo's underwhelming display against DR Congo, while fellow superstars Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland both scored braces, and Lionel Messi added a hat-trick in the latest chapter of football's GOAT debate. The boys then go on to discuss the England's 4-2 victory over Croatia yesterday, as belief in England finally bringing the World Cup back home builds. After breaking down the game and Tuchel's 'miracle' halftime rallying speech, Dyche delves into a deeper conversation about the nationality of the manager. He believes that more English managers should be given the opportunity to manage England's football team, and was surprised that Eddie Howe was not given an interview for the role. 00:00 Introduction 02:30 John Terry reveals the time he nearly signed for ARSENAL 05:45 Simon,…

The lads go on to discuss the hydration breaks taking place in every half of every game and whether they're ruining the flow of the football match and if it's just another way for American broadcasters to capitalise on advertisement breaks. Finally, they look ahead to the England game against Croatia and the 'lack of quality' of the football played at the World Cup so far. 00:00 Introduction 01:49 Piers, Simon and John discuss hydration breaks 06:29 Should the England players sing the National Anthem? 13:01 The panel discuss who has impressed so far at…
