What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This episode is brought to you entirely by Shure. I've done episodes on the move before, but as the Shure deodorant ambassador for the FIFA World Cup 2026, I had to get closer to the action. So we're recording this episode in the Shure New York Sweat Club. As an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026, Shure have set us up to record live from an LED football pitch where we'll definitely be having a kick about later. We'll be talking about the tournament so far, my own tournament experiences, and how we reckon the current squad is going to get on in the first group stage match.
What are the highlights of England's chances in the World Cup?
one thing's for sure it's going to be tense so stay cool with the shore limited edition fifa packs hello everybody welcome to the fuzzcast we have got a very special episode for you today because we are filming from the new york sweat club by shore and we are talking all things england aren't we tom yeah we absolutely are we've moved across the atlantic we're out here in new york we've been busy haven't we we have so it's what monday now so what are we saying what have we been up to mate We had the genius idea of bringing our bikes out with us. Our Bromptons. Our Bromptons. We bought our Bromptons. So we have been sightseeing the whole city. Central Park, north of... We've been walking steps for fun, didn't we?
Yesterday, I think we both did about 26,000 steps. Yeah, a lot. We've been watching a lot of football. We have been drinking a few beers.
A bit of Japanese food on the go.
An awful lot of Japanese food on the go. It has been unreal. And the weather has been roasting as well. Yeah, it's been tough, but we've made the most of it. It's been tough.
It's been tough. The audience are getting their tiny violins out for us. So far, we're fully into the swing of the tournament now.
Is Jordan Pickford considered England's greatest goalkeeper?
So what's been your highlight so far? What games have you enjoyed?
I always like the first game. I love watching all the fanfare. I like watching the ceremony. It was a good game as well. But I've got to say, I really enjoyed the Netherlands-Japan game yesterday. We were plotted up in this lovely little bar not far from where our hotel is. We had a big table of Dutch fans behind us, didn't we? We had a couple of Japanese fans over there as well. And it was all lovely. It's all nice and pleasant. But the game, it was, for me, probably the best game of the tournament so far.
Yeah, I enjoyed it for a moment. I thought, Curacao, can they?
What trivia question about Croatia might stump listeners?
Can they? Actually, you might be right. You might be right. For a moment, right? For one moment, that Curacao goal going in, just seeing that sea of fans going absolutely crazy. And I was the same as you. We were thinking, they can't, can they? They can't. We've got Ben Tozer with us as well. And Tozer straight away went, don't get too excited, all right?
Why does Jude Bellingham deserve more respect?
This ain't going to last very long. Killjoy. Yeah, massive killjoy. And in fairness, Germany then just turned it on a little bit.
But Host Nations as well, obviously USA have got off to an absolute flyer.
Flyer, absolute flyer. Yeah, I think, I don't know if anybody had them as like a dark horse. I don't think many people had them as a dark horse. USA, no. None of us did, did we? No. On the Cycling GK team, on the Foscast team, nobody picked USA as a dark horse, but watching them, Mate, they could do a bit.
Yeah, well, Mexico and Canada as well.
Do you know what? It hurts a little bit for me, actually, because I see Balogun scoring his goals. He looks a million dollars, right? And then he's doing interviews after the game and he's just proper London. He's a proper Londoner, mate.
Mate, don't let it hurt you too much.
He's not getting in over Harry Kane, is he? I don't care, though, mate. You know, I like to see the English players playing for England and it hurts when I hear that accent after the game. But I'm very impressed with them. I really am. They look like they've got a proper team of athletes and very good footballers now.
Yeah, we've got... less than two days before the England England's first game so what I want you to do is run us through like 72 hours before an England game what's it looking like okay so we are still like I say with what two three days now and you've played tournament football I'm talking I'm talking tournament football when you were involved so
