    Episode 201 - Messi Can't Win The World Cup Without This Player + The France Weakness Morocco Can Exploit
    Jul 8 2026
    Argentina survived Egypt, Switzerland ground past Colombia, and the World Cup quarterfinal bracket is set. Ted and Hayden Van Brewer break down all four matchups, plus two transfers to know before the weekend. They dig into Argentina's missing piece since Ángel Di María left the picture, and why Giuliano Simeone might be the answer against Switzerland. England vs Norway comes down to wingers versus fullbacks, with Alexander Nusa singled out as the player who needs to step up. On the other side of the draw, they explain why Spain should be favourites against Belgium despite lacking their usual cutting edge, and why Morocco's patient possession style makes them a genuinely dangerous matchup for France. Then it's transfers: Jed Spence's rumoured move to Everton, Newcastle's teenage Ajax midfielder Steur, and why PSG might be ready to sell 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye.

  • Episode 194 - He Ran Circles Around Brazil. Now EVERYONE Wants to Sign Him.

    Episode 194 - He Ran Circles Around Brazil. Now EVERYONE Wants to Sign Him.
    Jun 15 2026
    Patrick and Ted are back for their first World Cup episode, working through the opening round of fixtures and the early transfer window stories. On the games: Brazil vs Morocco raised serious questions about Ancelotti's side, and Patrick had a few rants pending. The USA looked more convincing than anyone expected against Paraguay. Turkey managed 30 shots and 1.40 xG against Australia, which will surprise nobody who has watched Turkey at a major tournament before. Ivory Coast edged Ecuador in a game that was more fun than it had any right to be. On transfers: Ayyoub Bouaddi ran circles around Brazil at 18 years old and PSG, Arsenal and Liverpool are all circling. Ted and Patrick dig into what his numbers actually look like and whether the £60-70M fee makes sense for any of them. Christos Tzolis is reportedly heading to Arsenal and could be a straight swap for Martinelli. And Marc Cucurella is off to Real Madrid on a six year deal, which raises the question of what exactly Real Madrid are doing this summer.
