What exciting plans do the hosts have for the World Cup coverage?

Theo Baker 0:00
Welcome back to Pitchside, ladies and gentlemen! We are out in the United States of America. America, motherfucker! We're in New York City, aren't we, boys? And thank you to some incredible technology. We've also got Tommy G! Tommy G!
Are you on about the one next year or actually me?
Theo Baker 0:27
We've got two Toms. Yeah, two Tom Garrett, mate. Also, I need to wear a hat. I look like an egg. Oh, well, nothing changed from usual.
Yeah, I'm going to put on my... So he's picked out the one in the middle of the set. Oh, yeah, class.

How is the atmosphere in New York City ahead of the World Cup?

How are you doing, Tom? Why don't you just put the bucket hat on the cutout?
Theo Baker 0:45
Because bucket hat and headphones doesn't work very well. Cutout, it's Tom.
Tom Garratt 0:50
Yeah. How's England, Tom?
Wet. Oh, nice. Really wet.
Theo Baker 0:58
This is our first ever show coming at you live from New York City. We are out here for the entire tournament, if you didn't know that already. We are coming at you with three podcasts a week. Hell yeah. Pitch side uncut. Tom's first call-in show was recorded today.

What insights do the hosts share about England's World Cup preparations?

Tom Garratt 1:13
How did that go, Tom? I had a little preview that we were listening. I thought it was very funny. It was very good. Was it good? Yeah, I'm excited for that.
Yeah, it wasn't as deranged as I thought it would be. The callers were actually... The callers were actually pretty level-headed. No, it was fun. It was a good laugh.
Lewis Bowden 1:28
Is that a call-out for more deranged listeners? They can't be fans of ours.
That's what I thought. I was like, they can't be pitch-side listeners.

What are the expectations for the American World Cup?

I don't know if they're Stanley's mates. Stanley's mates. If he's drafted in.
Theo Baker 1:42
Well, Tom, you'll be proud to know that me, Lewis, Will and the boys got pretty bed last night. It's our first podcast and we are hungover. It's what we do. Well, you didn't get pretty bed. You went home early and read a book.
I didn't read a book. I went straight to sleep. I had five pints for that. You still did go home early.
Theo Baker 1:58
You did go home at 9pm.
That's pretty unprofessional.
Theo Baker 2:01
There you go.

How do the hosts feel about the upcoming England friendly against New Zealand?

Theo Baker 2:03
Very professional, to be fair. No, unprofessional. Unprofessional from Revo.
I haven't had a drink in like a week. Thank you. Show some respect to the show, please. Are we going to come back and Tom's like a Shaolin monk? Because we've got a big few weeks, mate. England are playing next week, bro.
Theo Baker 2:25
Yeah, very, very true. But it's also the New York Knicks tonight as well. So there's a big NBA contingent out in force tonight, isn't there, boys? That's factual. Which we're going to be attending. But how's the World Cup prep been going for you, Tom?

What are the potential challenges for England's key players?

Theo Baker 2:36
Are you excited so far from what you've seen of the England camp?
I'll be honest. I've not seen anything. Over here, it's just like, I feel like, it doesn't even feel like there's a tournament. Oh, really? Yeah. You reckon that's because of the time differences? I've got no idea. Like, there's no flags. There's nothing. it doesn't really feel like much fear is representing the whole country here hasn't like ramped up here yet because everyone in new york's like on about the nicks no one's like traveled out to this area to new york yet so in fairness i haven't been home home so i think all the pubs by meal have flags and stuff but in london there's it's it's business as usual it's fucking boring
Lewis Bowden 3:15
What are our thoughts on the American World Cup?
I'm excited for it. Three-country World Cup, first ever, why not?
Theo Baker 3:22
Yeah, it's very exciting.

What are the hosts' predictions for the World Cup tournament?

Theo Baker 3:23
Did anyone watch England friendly against New Zealand? I did, yeah. I thought the goal was good, but I thought the quality of the game was a little bit slow, wasn't it? Everyone looked knackered, mate.
Tom Garratt 3:31
It was like mixed teams and stuff, though, wasn't it? I feel like the next... We're playing today, aren't we? That'll be a bit more of a tell. The thing that I didn't realise, so Saka's not going to play or start... many of the games because of injuries. So we actually just have a Maduweki.
Theo Baker 3:46
I actually think after watching the New Zealand game, obviously Rio got play of the match, but he was phenomenal. Yeah, but he was not in the squad. I know, but the way he was attacking players, like why not just get him in squad too cool? Too late now. Because you can't.
