This is Early Kick Off from the Men in Blazers media network and presented by our great friends of the pod STōK Cold Brew Coffee, all your global football stories straight from the back pages of Europe's newspapers in around 10 minutes.

On today’s episode: The USWNT beat Iceland in their first game since Olympic glory in Paris; Manchester United play out a disappointing draw with Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, and Jose Mourinho is up to his usual antics; Spurs beat AZ Alkmaar and Chelsea also win; we preview the Premier League weekend, including Arsenal v Liverpool at the Emirates; and we share a message from Luton Town, standing in solidarity with Elijah Adebayo. 

Football don't sleep, and neither do we.
