What is the World Cup Calling Show about?
Welcome everybody to the brand new show on Pinchside called the World Cup Calling Show! And I am joined by Tobes. Hello. Hello, Toby.
How are we?
I was watching your TikTok earlier and he's not very excited for the World Cup. I need the World Cup juices flowing. Yeah, I feel like you're... Do you think it's just too close to the end of the season? Is that what it is?
We've watched so much football. I'm just like... And it's not been great football either, has it?
Give us five minutes.
I'm just hoping, yeah, no corners.
I think you're going to be shocked because this World Cup is going to be a bit of a snooze fest. But going forward, I'm going to be joined by Callum Fowler most weeks or every week.
How do the hosts feel about the upcoming World Cup?
I don't know because he's a bit flaky. And that's a little Easter egg for you because there might be a new show coming soon with me and Callum Fowler. You're welcome. But for now, we've got Tobe's cult hero on pitch side and back side now. Yeah. But we are going to start the show, Stanley's thought of a brilliant idea for... Football, beer, connect them. What do we get, Tobes? We get the beer battle. We're going to pick a game each match week or just each week? Each week. Each week. And the game we've picked this week is... It's Japan against Holland. Oh. Which means we've got Asahi versus Heineken. Whoever wins the beer off, so if we give Heineken a 10 out of 10, but we give Japan an eight out of 10, we will say Heineken win, which means Holland will win.
But I am gonna give you a little preview. I do prefer Asahi usually. Yeah. And I actually think Japan are gonna beat Holland.
Wow, they are dark horses.
Oh, I think Holland are going to be one of the teams who struggle in the tournament, as well as the Germans. The Europeans ain't going to deal with that heat, bruh. I'm telling you. I kind of looked at Holland's squad, though, the other day.
I was like, this is better than I thought it was. Still relying on Depay up front, though. Yeah, and Gakpo. But Gakpo, World Cup Gakpo, he's actually quite good. As awful as Gakpo is. For some reason, for Holland, he delivers.
I don't think Gakpo's awful, by the way. I think that's right.
Oh, for Liverpool? Yeah.
What unique idea do the hosts introduce for the show?
He's not awful. Oh, I don't know, mate.
Awful, he's got a nacho.
Yeah, but there's different standards, you know what I mean? We're like a 10th place team at the moment.
Okay, right. So, let's kick it off. Oh, shit.
I can't remember which one was which.
Fuck's sake.
To be fair, you can VAR on cameras.
That's the Asahi, because I've just poured it. Right, start with the Heineken.
It's nice. It's cold.
Right, so we will sip these during the show, and then at the end, we'll let you know which beer wins. But I've got a sneaky suspicion I know who the winner's going to be. Right, me and Toads are going to start by talking about the big news. It seems to be a hot topic on social media at the minute. I also think it's a very valid debate. Jude Bellingham, is he in your starting 11, Tobey Maguire?
No.
I don't think he is either.
But if he starts, I'm like, yeah, cool. Yeah, I'm fine with him starting.
What are the hosts' predictions for the Japan vs. Holland match?
But it's like it's a crime when you go, I don't think he does that much.
Do you know what really makes me laugh? Anyone I have a debate with or talk to, they go, but he's Jude Bellingham. That's the argument. What the fuck does that mean?
They go, he plays for Real Madrid. You go, the worst Real Madrid I've probably seen in my life.
So did Thomas Graveson. I wouldn't play him over Declan Rice.
Woodgate. Woodgate didn't start for England when he was around Madrid.
Owen was at the end of his career when he went to... Well, kind of at the end, but... Yeah, that's a bad example because he was starting.
Either way, like him being at Real Madrid doesn't determine whether he starts. And not only that, when you watch, you watch these Real Madrid sides, like Arsenal battered them and he didn't do anything. Yeah, yeah. They went out with a wimpy. Who did they go out to a wimpy with this year? Who did? Real Madrid.
Madrid lost to Bayern. You didn't see dude. No, yeah. And that's the thing, but he's a big moments player.
