It's about time we talked about the World Cup. The Socceroos have (arguably) defied expectations and made it through the group stage. Now we play Egypt in the first knockout round on Saturday morning. Is it winnable? 

Niav Owens thinks so, and she knows her football. The host of SBS' World Cup coverage joins us to chat our chances of progressing to the round of 16 and meeting Messi and Argentina (unless Cabo Verde pull off the biggest ever World Cup shock), why this squad is so exciting, and what the A-League does with a $30mil player when Barcelona come calling. 

Plus, Harry Kewell captured our hearts in 2006 and now he's doing it again 20 years later, how we can shut down Egyptian superstar Mo Salah, Norwegian crowd rowing vibes and World Cup knockout-round tactics.

And of course France are looking unfairly good, England haven't quite got into gear, and why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a football expert.

The only place to watch the FIFA World Cup is on SBS and SBS on Demand.

The Enhanced Games were meant to shake up sport, letting athletes use performance enhancers to break records and make big money. Enough time has passed for us to properly digest the morally grey area that encompasses the event, and compose our thoughts.

We have many of them. We talk about this and much more:
Athletes openly using performance-enhancing substances
Prize money that dwarfs Olympic payouts, how can it be?
And the awkward twist…clean athletes were still winning 

Is this the future of sport? Or does it completely miss the point of why we love it? Plus, the Olympics might be heading into full reality TV mode: Ninja Warrior as an Olympic sport? Please no. Leave the Olympics alone!

The “Doping Olympics” actually happened, and athletes took the money?

The NFL's first ever game in Australia is a couple of months away; the San Fran 49ers take on the LA Rams at the MCG in September. Are we prepared for an American sports takeover? 

With Steph Rogers from the 49ers, we learn what it takes to move an entire American football team across the Pacific ocean, why the sport is gaining momentum in Australia, and whether the players think it's really a good idea. Not many athletes have to travel 15 hours to games. 

Plus, we chat ice hockey, AFL/NFL comparisons and whether it's going to be the biggest spectacle we'll see at the MCG this year.
