About this episode

The episode focuses on building the Greatest World Cup XI while discussing recent news and listener questions.

In this episode, we're doing something a little different as we build our Greatest World Cup XI. This isn't about picking the greatest footballers of all time. It's about selecting the players who are the World Cup. The names that instantly transport you back to iconic tournaments, unforgettable moments and football's biggest stage. From impossible saves and legendary goals to celebrations, controversies and moments that have become part of football folklore, these are the players whose World Cup legacy outweighs everything else. The team also talk the latest from this week's news and as always also answer some listener questions.
