    Jul 20 2026

    Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Alex Brooker to reflect on Spain's World Cup triumph over Argentina!


    They ask if their victory is a win for all of football after Argentina's tactics during the match and the entire tournament

  • How Tuchel's tactics cost England the World Cup
    Jul 16 2026

    Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Alex Brooker to discuss England's defeat to Argentina in the semi final of the World Cup.


    All three are in agreement that the blame should be attributed to Thomas Tuchel after he inexplicably decided to defend against the World Champions for the final 30 minutes of the game and allowed Lionel Messi to work his magic.


    We ask what is next for the German following the defeat and if he should stick around? Could Pep Guardiola be an option to replace him after he left Man City earlier this year?


    Emmanuel tells us how France is feeling following their shock defeat to Spain in the other semi final.


    And we look ahead to Sunday's final and discuss the influence of Spain's talismanic captain Rodri who looks back to his sublime best.

  • How Bellingham bailed out England....again!
    Jul 13 2026

    Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Alex Brooker to unpack a nervy win for England over Norway which see's them into the semi finals!


    Jude Bellingham was once again the hero, but did he reveal a rift in his relationship with Thomas Tuchel in his post match interview? Petit says both Tuchel and Bellingham should have kept their post match comments for behind closed doors.


    England's opponents on Wednesday will be Argentina after they saw off Switzerland, we ask what exactly there is to fear about the current holders.


    Plus we get Emmanuel's take on France ahead of their semi with Span and bring you some winners and losers too!
