It's a World Cup takeover! As we bring you talkSPORT's How To Win The World Cup podcast - The countdown is on and Matt Forde is assembling his finest squad of comedians and former pros to answer the only question that matters: How. To. Win. Matt Forde and Jacob Hawley speak to England and Arsenal legend David Seaman all about the importance of squad harmony and creating the right culture when it comes to a major tournament. He explains why Gazza's exclusion in 1998 under Glen Hoddle was the wrong decision and why most of the squad wanted him to be involved, we hear why Arsene Wenger may have inadvertently helped Man United win a treble in 1999, and he reveals just how divided Arsenal and Manchester United players were when they joined up with the national side and if it ruined their chances of winning a World Cup.
