## Resource

On this episode of The Cooligans, the boys debate whether winning at all costs is hurting the beauty of Arsenal’s football despite their results, and whether title contenders should be held to a higher stylistic standard. Manchester United fan Matty FC joins to discuss the club’s recent bounce under Michael Carrick and whether it’s the start of a real turnaround or just a temporary lift. Plus, we predict which young striker could be the next superstar in Europe alongside Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, and break down why Brazil may be heading into the 2026 World Cup with more questions than answers—even with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm.
