Why do Man City think they can win their appeal?

On today's show, we explain how City's appeal process will work and why they still believe they can overturn the initial verdict.

Plus, the panel review England's 7-0 thrashing of Croatia, discuss Cavan Sullivan's debut for the USMNT and get excited for the return of the Premier League this weekend.
