A Perfect Group Stage Team? The Loss That Destroys A Federation? The Biggest Manager Stock Boost? | 2026 World Cup Preview Feat. GetIn! Football

About this episode

The episode discusses potential upsets and managerial impacts in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

We break down which cross-federation upsets would do the most damage to a confederation's reputation at the World Cup — from Japan knocking out Brazil to anyone beating Mexico on home soil. We also get into which teams are best positioned to secure a top 9 finish and which under-the-radar managers could come out of this tournament with serious clout. Plus, we debate the most chaotic Round of 32 scenarios and what they could mean for the future of international football. All that and more — including our picks for the team most likely to crown a brand new World Cup champion!
