Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Football's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. And you're in the home of premium tournament podcasting because today is our World Cup special. You guys know that before every big tournament we do a World Cup special or a Euro special.
We always get on some good guests for him.
We do. We always do a duo and we do new people every time. A bit like how our Christmas episode always has two mates on. So for Euro 2020, we had Pie Face and Rory Jennings. For the World Cup 2022, we had Danny Aarons and FG. Euro 24, we had James Alcott and Ellis.
And now on the show today for World Cup 2026 is the brilliant Tom Garrett and the iconic Zach Gillab, who's absolutely smashing it at the moment. They know their stuff. They know their ball.
And that's good because I don't.
Yeah, we let them just, well, we do a World Cup quiz, but ultimately we just let them tell us their predictions for the World Cup. You don't want to hear our predictions too much because I'll just be regurgitating someone else's opinion that I've heard online. And also, and also, stick around for this one, guys. Stick around to the end of the episode because we have a special surprise for you.
At the end of the episode, we have a different guest who's going to join us for a little bit at the end. Who claims to be able to predict the World Cup. It's a magician. He may or may not have won Britain's Got Talent. And it's going to go off. So he's going to predict the World Cup live on the podcast.
So if you want to know who's going to win the World Cup 2026 before a ball has been kicked, you're in the right place. You better say England.
Come on. MUSIC

Chapter 3: What are the funniest football chants mentioned?
That's what he thinks you are, mate. Shut up, fucking hell. My ears popped. What was that? I can't hear anything.
Honestly, mate, that's probably for the best. Yeah, yeah. What was that? Did you sneeze? He sneezed but held his nose.
Don't do that. I was trying to stop myself from sneezing. I can't hear anything.
I'm good sneezing, by the way. Not when you do that.
Shit, if you stop yourself. Have a sip of your drink.
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. What was the question? Second best sport. Golf is up there for me. To play or to watch? A bit of both. You can do both. To play, golf, for sure. Never played it. For me, horse racing.
You love your horse racing. Yeah, he does love his horse racing, yeah. I went to the cricket, actually, in the weekend. That's not too bad. I've started getting in. I've started getting into it. Went to watch it, got rained off.
It got rained off here as well.
Is horse racing a sport?

Chapter 4: What are the predictions for World Cup 2026?
Or did you not know about the win?
I think I was just upset. England were terrible that day, though. We had the whole stadium, and there was just one little corner of Portugal. They were just kicking up. And all the Germans, they were supporting the English. There's a big myth about England and Germany, you know. Why were they supporting the English, then? I don't know. They just liked the English.
When we was in Berlin, mate, they loved the English. That was my experience, anyway. But me and my dad weren't singing 10 German Bombers, so...
I assume in the moment you can't you don't know this wink's happening you can obviously see the red card we didn't even know what had happened you just see the red card to Rooney well there was no social media then you wouldn't have found out until ages later it was ages after it was after the game but I'd go for that Albion 68 cup final but for non-Albion I'd go I thought about this
And I tried to go, I was trying to think of like a rogue one.
I was actually at the World Cup final most recently. That's what I was going to go.
What a messy one. It's just like the best game ever.
And you know what's so mad is I actually barely remember it because of how amazing it was and like being in the moment with it. Like when I think back to it now, I can, I can only really picture him celebrating.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What predictions are made for the World Cup 2026?
I've gone the same. Correct. I feel like I saw that recently. I heard it on Foxport. Yeah. Yeah. Which footballer was the last person to kick a ball in the World Cup? I mean, it's going to be mad if I got it wrong. I put D. Montel. Montel.
Yeah, that's correct. Thanks for that one. You're welcome.
Stevie, which of the three mascots are not an actual mascot?
I've thought two of the ones you've said are Canadian, the moose and the bear.
Chapter 6: What are the potential flops in the tournament?
So it's got to be between them. And I'm saying maple moose isn't.
Right, Tom? I went the Jaguar. I've put C, whatever that was. The Jaguar? Yeah. No, it was D, the bear.
Because I thought Jaguar was Mexico, the eagle's America, so I knew it had to be one of the Canadian ones. And I thought Maple Moose is a shit name. So what did you say the Mexican one was?
The Jaguar. Is it? Apparently, I didn't even know that was there.
Well, my logic was that I know bears and moose are both Canadian.

Chapter 7: Who are the breakout stars to watch in the World Cup?
I actually think, believe it or not, Clutch the Bald Eagle is Mexico. I thought that was American. Yeah, I know, but Mexico have the eagle on there. Yeah, they do. Oh, okay.
So America is bear?
America... They do have a lot of bears. Yeah, well, maple moose has to be. No, no, sorry. Bears are not real.
So it'd be the jaguar. The jaguar is probably America then, yeah. Wow. Which of these players not scored in a World Cup final? Tom, who was it?
Chapter 8: What bizarre events could happen during the World Cup?
It's Mola. I've got Muller.
B? Which do you think was Muller? Maybe not. Petit. Oh, no, actually. Fuck. Petit scored in 98, mate. No, no, I had meant to put Muller.
Zach, if I beat you, you need to delete your YouTube channel.
Very quickly, I start going, I've forgotten who's which letter, so I start putting the names down.
That's all right, that's all right. Which of these did not score a goal for England in the last World Cup? Foden? I went for Foden, but I think it's Maguire now. I put Maguire.
Maguire! All I could think of was Maguire's penalty, but that's why I obviously asked.
Which of these four players have played the most amount of games for England at a World Cup? I said Sterling. I've put Sterling. Points all round? Yeah.
It was a time where he'd play everything.
When he shouldn't be playing, he's still playing. Tom, what's the connection that connects Bellingham, Hargreaves, Beckham and Waddle? I think they all scored the opening goal for England at a World Cup. I think they've all taken the seven shirt. Incorrect. Is it they were the youngest players to score for England at the World Cup? No.
