TVNZ FC: The mighty Watford, Heraf claims ‘Hitler’ jibe, and are Barcelona in the group of death?

September 5, 2018

Jack Tame is in for Chris Chang this week, with Victor Waters and Simon Plumb dissecting the big (and less big) issues in the world of football.

This week on the TVNZ Football Club, we look at the latest twist in the Andreas Heraf saga after he told Austrian media he was compared to Hitler while in NZ.

And in England, we focus on the mighty Watford, who are unbeaten after four games - who saw that coming?

At the other end of the table, former Premier League winner Manuel Pellegrini could be the first managerial casualty of the season, if West Ham lose again after the dreaded international break.

Barcelona again showed how deep the quality goes in La Liga... winning 8-2 against new boys huesca.

But our panellists ask if they’re in the group of death in the Champions League.

And how come Lionel Messi is getting passed over for all the big awards?

Elsewhere, there’s Neymar's fake tears and the bizarre story of Denmark drafting in some futsal players to play Wales in an international tie.
