About this episode
Matt Forde hosts a discussion with comedians and former pros about England's chances in the upcoming World Cup.
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 is joined by comedian Jacob Hawley and England legend John Barnes to discuss England ahead of the World Cup this summer and if Thomas Tuchel can guide the Three Lions to their first major tournament win since 1966. Barnes explains why England have not under achieved in previous tournaments despite public perception they should have won more in recent years. He tells us why he has no concerns over the squad that Thomas Tuchel has picked and that a united team is more important than finding room for individual talent. And he reveals the story behind his famous World in motion track in 1990 and why there has never been a football song like it since! Enjoyed this episode? Why not check out other episodes HERE!
