Our 2026 World Cup Predictions

The final Nagel in the coffin | 2026 FIFA World Cup

We’ve had our first major scalp! Julian Nagelsmann’s German slugs have been sent Heim at the hands of plucky old Paraguay. Pete, Luke and David are here to celebrate. Elsewhere, things get even worse for the Germans as their infamous guru is proved wrong after Morocco saw off the Netherlands. Plus, Brazil spoiled all the fun with that late goal to beat Japan.

Yes we Canada! | 2026 FIFA World Cup

The knockouts are underway! And bloody hell let's hope it gets better from here. Marcus, Luke and Jim unpack what might be the worst game of the tournament so far between Canada and South Africa (sorry Canada). We do give Jesse Marsch and his men their dues and then do an in-depth analysis of every nation's World Cup music, because why not? Elsewhere, conspiracies continue to swirl around Algeria and Austria while South Korea's ex-manager Hong Myung-bo is getting banned from the middle aisle of Lidl.

Soak… and strike | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Marcus, Luke and Jim jump back on the pod for a big ol' easay after England's underwhelming meander / clinical, professional job (delete as you see fit). Still, at least Jude Bellingham proved he remains the absolute business! Elsewhere, Croatia qualified for the knockouts (because of course they did), that little Argentine wizard was at it again and Algeria & Austria abandoned any sort of gentlemen's agreement and played out a riotous slugfest. That means we can look ahead to the knockouts! Which start in about seven hours' time... Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here [https://footballramblestore.com/].

England vs Panama Preview: Great, we've got no right-backs | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Marcus and Jim were live on YouTube to look ahead to England's final game of the groups vs Panama! Get it done lads, because you'll never guess who we'll have if we finish second... They react to the completely surprising news that Reece James may be out for the rest of the World Cup. Who replaces him? And if Elliot Anderson is out, will Jordan Henderson make England history? Plus, we worry about the Panamanian wrestler at left-back who has the name of a darts player and will definitely body slam Bukayo Saka.

Candyfloss grows by the sea | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Wouldn't you bloomin' believe it, Cape Verde have qualified for the knockouts! Delight for the Cape, but despair for Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay who head home. Can we take one of their four stars away from them for that? Marcus, Pete & Jim are here to revel in the Cape Verdean joy. Plus, a Mexican fan sticks his head in a candyfloss machine and Channing Tatum pops up at the Norway match, because why the hell not?
