Weird, even for a taxidermist | 2026 FIFA World Cup

And guess what? France got absolutely stuffed last night. Marcus, Luke and Jim gather themselves after a truly devastating display from the Spanish (feat. the devastatingly sexy Ferran Torres) which sent France's superstars packing. But why did France look so clueless? What was Didier Deschamps doing? Marcus wonders why he didn't send on France's certified big man, while Luke goes full Roy Keane on the calamitous Lucas Digne. Elsewhere, Erling Haaland brings home some taxidermied geezers and don't ask anything about Jim's dungeon, alright? ALRIGHT!

The art of suspension bridges | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Marcus is back from a top secret intel mission in France, just in time for THE WORLD CUP SEMI-FINALS! Luke and David join him to praise FIFA’s rigorous seeding process - nice one, Gianni. We pick England’s potential poison from the How The Other Half Live Derby, as Spain look to keep a lid on things and France try to smash them into next week. Plus, we send a sweaty Gabriel Clarke to patch up Anglo-Argentine relations and we trace the true origins of FIFA’s grim, unrelenting corruption to… Bristol.  Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here [https://footballramblestore.com/].

Give spidercam citizenship | 2026 FIFA World Cup

ENGLAND ARE THROUGH TO THE LAST FOUR! For just the fourth time in England's history, we have a men's World Cup semi-final to rub our thighs about. Luke and Vish join Pete – who's come painted as a roundabout for the occasion – to unpack another rollercoaster night and another Jude Bellingham masterclass. Is he already England's greatest ever tournament player? We also discuss Thomas Tuchel's post-match interview, revoke Alexander Sørloth's Norwegian citizenship, and try to get our heads around Breel Embolo's monumental headloss as Switzerland fall to Argentina. Which neatly leads Pete onto some rather direct questions about the Falklands. Join us the morning after the night before!

At our Witsel’s end | 2026 FIFA World Cup

You’re fighting for your life in a World Cup knockout…. Spain are banging down the door and the pressure’s on… And you turn to unemployed 37-year-old, Axel Witsel. Yeah, cheers Belgium, thanks for coming. Pete, David and Luke bid farewell to our Belgian brethren after unfortunate injuries left them looking like Pete’s over 50’s vets side. We also roll out another Spanish inquisition and look ahead to tonight, where England face both i) a determined Norway side and ii) loads of alligators with sweaty bums. Plus, some actually genuinely breaking news from Pete about a new series in the works… Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here [https://footballramblestore.com/].
