Is Florian Wirtz lack of criticism justified, and would he be treated differently if he was a Man United Player?
In this week's episode if the football Kaki we dive in these three topics: 
Indonesia’s World Cup dream is OVER! Losses to Saudi Arabia, and Iraq have ended the Nation's dream of qualifying for the World Cup.
Meanwhile, in Europe Italy and Sweden could actually fail to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
And then there’s Florian Wirtz at Liverpool… 0 Goals, 0 Assists so far this season with minimal criticism leaving many thinking that the reaction would be completely different if he played for Man United
