The football world lost two of its iconic artists this week, in the form of Germany great Franz Beckenbauer & Brazilian legend Mário Zagallo. The pundits start the show by paying tribute to these two great individuals that have graced the game and left a lasting legacy to the way the beautiful game is played and understood. After that, it's back to business, with a review of the mid-week Carabao Cup semi-final matches, which saw Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough taking a slender lead against wasteful Chelsea, and Liverpool edging past Fulham. Then it's time to look ahead to some matches in the English Premier League, including Everton vs Aston Villa, Newcastle vs Man City, and Man Utd vs Spurs. And with Dez already in Qatar, we also preview the AFC Asian Cup, that's set to kick off this weekend! All these, and many more, only on Just For Kicks!
