In this episode, Joe and Rob open with a great MLS/World Cup trivia question. From there, we jump into Opening Thoughts, and the departure of Zinedine Zidane from Real Madrid. We look at the timing, the possible destinations for Zizzou, and the potential replacements at the Bernabeu. From there, we welcome in Gary Thacker, senior writer at These Football Times and author of the new book, Cheers, Tears, and Jeers, a History of England and The World Cup. We get to talk about his wonderful book, as well as the history of the English National Team and the current team as they head to the World Cup. From there, we give you some quick half time trivia, followed by discussions about the bid rankings for the 2026 World Cup, the best place for Gigi Buffon to win a UCL title, the return of Paolo Guerrero for Peru, and the Uruguayan and English National Teams heading to the World Cup. We close with a list of friendlies for the week, the trivia answer, and the preview for next week’s All World Cup Show.
