What are the implications of rising World Cup ticket prices for fans?

Jamie Carragher 0:00
Who believes England are going to win the World Cup?
Unknown 0:06
I love that.
Jamie Carragher 0:07
It's our first World Cup in 28 years from Scotland, so huge buzz around the country when we qualified. We know FIFA, and we thought it would get better when Blatter went to Fields, but it's actually got worse.
Jonathan Wilson 0:16
If you're giving money to Country X to build their stadium, well, the delegate from Country X is going to keep voting for Infantino.
Billy 0:23
I personally was really looking forward to this World Cup, but then all of a sudden, everything around it has just completely turned it on its head.
Jamie Carragher 0:30
What's your first reaction when you see the squad?
Dan 0:32
It's either going to end with group exit or going all the way and not much in between.

What are Scotland's expectations for their first World Cup since 1998?

Ali Maxwell 0:36
A little bit dubious about Tuchel when he came in, just for various reasons. We talked about how honest he is in press conferences. I love it, but it makes me wince a little bit.
Jonathan Wilson 0:43
That directness, that candidness he has, precisely because he's German, he doesn't care.
Shay Given 0:48
And you're talking about Jude Bellingham. If he first game of the World Cup goes, Jude, you're sitting on the bench next to me. That'll be a big moment.
Billy 0:54
I mean, that sounds harmony out the window on day one, doesn't it? Because everyone talks about Scotland, the old enemy. For me, Argentina. Argentina-England games are incredible. It'll be interesting to see how your team do. My team? England? My team's Liverpool.

How is Thomas Tuchel's squad selection impacting England's chances?

Billy 1:07
Liverpool.
Jamie Carragher 1:13
Hello and welcome back to the Fandy Bay, brought to you by Skybet. Today's episode is a World Cup special as we look ahead to the tournament in the summer. So, Shea's back with me once again.

Who are the notable players left out of the England squad?

Jamie Carragher 1:25
A big hello to our supporters and a warm welcome to journalist, author and co-host of the Football History Podcast. It was what it was, Jonathan Wilson and the England pod host, Ali Maxwell. So, thanks for joining us, guys, and welcome to everyone. Shea I want to start with you what do you love most about the World Cup?
Shay Given 1:51
Playing in it was good supporting it growing up was good as well under the Jack Charlton era from an Irish point of view but playing was the pinnacle for my career to play in Japan and Korea in 2002 but I think now that the Premier League is parked to one side the Champions League final is gone I think now I think the focus quickly turns to the World Cup obviously Ireland are not there but

Will Jude Bellingham play a crucial role for England in the World Cup?

Shay Given 2:10
You're looking at the favourites, the best teams and the best players are obviously going to be performing in the World Cup in a couple of weeks. It's the biggest tournament in world football, isn't it? That's what it is. I mean, it's a different format this year with more teams and stuff and things like that we'll probably talk about in a bit. There's nothing taken away from it. It's the greatest show on earth, isn't it? It's a brilliant tournament and it'll be interesting to see who wins it. Of course, Argentina, the holders. Messi got his final wish in the last final. Can Ronaldo maybe do it this year? I'm not so sure, but it'll be interesting to see how your team does. My team?
Jamie Carragher 2:45
England.

What are the key moments in the England vs Argentina rivalry?

Jamie Carragher 2:46
My team's Liverpool.

What are the most iconic moments in World Cup history?

Jamie Carragher 2:49
you just mentioned Messi in the World Cup my next question is what's your favourite World Cup memory but the fact you've just mentioned Messi I'm actually going to choose that one as mine right I just think it was fitting that a player of that stature finally won the World Cup for me so that I think is probably the greatest final I think probably in World Cup history I think it must be what's your favourite World Cup memory
Shay Given 3:13
Might even go as far back as 94 actually back in America where the World Cup was this year when Ray Houghton scored against Italy 1-0 to beat Italy I mean the whole nation went absolutely bananas of course I think it was might have been Giant Stadium actually that that game was in but again you know some memories that you know young English fans or whatever or Spanish fans or whatever it is will make this year you know you think of your first goal your first game or whatever your first memory as a fan but that was a special day for a lot of Irish fans of course
Jamie Carragher 3:44
Jonathan, you have released a new book, The Power and the Glory, a new history of the World Cup.
