    Episode 296 — World Cup Bold Predictions and Poor Decisions
    Jun 5 2026
    Mark and Jorge put their reputations on the line with their World Cup predictions. From the quarterfinals all the way to the final, they build their tournament brackets, pick a champion, and make their calls for Golden Boot winner, tournament MVP, biggest overachiever, and more. They also identify the team most likely to disappoint, the player who could flop, the veteran who still has one more great tournament in him, and a dark-horse player who might emerge on the world stage. Some predictions are sensible. Others... will almost certainly be used against them later. If you enjoyed the show, you can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and leave us a rating or review.
