Could It Be Coming Home?

Joe Cole is joined by Australian football legend Tim Cahill for the first episode of Could It Be Coming Home?, brought to you by Carling. Tim and Joe discuss the teams that have impressed them most so far at the World Cup, why England are among the strongest contenders to lift the trophy, and the one area of the side that Thomas Tuchel could still tweak ahead of their next game. They also break down Brazil's tournament prospects, with Joe explaining why he believes Carlo Ancelotti will make them stronger as the competition progresses, while Tim reveals how he knows rising star Nico O'Reilly and why his rapid rise comes as no surprise. Elsewhere, Tim opens up on the emotional impact of Ange Postecoglou's team talks, what it meant to hear Nestory Irankunda describe him as his biggest football inspiration, and why Australian players often have to work harder than most to reach the top. There are stories from throughout Tim's remarkable career too, including the origins of his famous boxing celebration, why Goodison Park was one of football's toughest grounds, how close he came to representing the Republic of Ireland, his unforgettable goal against the Netherlands in 2014, and the emotional phone call with his son after his red card against Germany at the 2010 World Cup. Tim also reveals why Mikel Arteta is the most competitive person he's ever met, explains why you'd always want Phil Neville on your pub quiz team, and reveals which former team-mate he'd want in his corner. Plus, Joe names the opponent who spent an entire match asking him to show off his skills. Could It Be Coming Home? is brought to you by Carling, the beer of football. 18+.
