The B/R Ranks Squad - Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and Jack Collins are joined by former Spain, Valencia and Barcelona midfielder Gaizka Mendieta to talk penalties and the players they'd trust in a shoot out if their life was on the line. Hot Takes include football's hottest topic - whether Kepa Arrizabalaga was completely out of line in refusing his manager's orders to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final, as well as discussions on whether Gareth Bale should leave Real Madrid after another spell on the bench; and who should be Barcelona's next No. 9 after Luis Suarez. Bleacher Roulette takes on the big questions of whether you'd rather win the Ballon d'Or or the World Cup (without playing a minute!); which game you'd use a time machine to go back and watch in real life; and whether you'd rather win one cap for the country you love or fifty caps for a country you felt no affection for. To get involved, follow @brfootball on Twitter and Instagram, and use the hashtag #BRFootballRanks!
