BBC World Service - Sportshour, Megan Rapinoe: The World Cup, that pose and Trump

We hear from one of the world's most recognizable female footballers.

On this week's Sportshour we hear from one of the world's most recognizable footballers - Megan Rapinoe. In July she captained the US team to another World Cup victory and won the golden boot as the tournaments top scorer. She also picked up the two most prestigious individual awards the game has to offer; the FIFA best and the Ballon D'Or. She tells us about how she has used her new found profile to lead the fight for equality in sport in terms of racism, gender and sexuality. 

It is the final of the Club World Cup  and Flamengo of Brazil take on Liverpool of the English Premier League to find out who will be crowned the best club football side in the World. We go live to Qatar to preview the match.

Beitar Jerusalem is one of the biggest football clubs in Israel but it is infamous for the behaviour of some of its fans towards Muslims. They've been repeatedly sanctioned for it's abuse of Muslim opponents but we hear how thanks to a new owner, the club is determined to change their reputation.

Who is better? Brady or Brees? A team of journalists and fans discuss who they think is a better quarterback. Is it Tom Brady who has won six Super Bowl titles or do they think Drew Brees has overtaken him due to his NFL touchdown record breaking passes?
