England's World Cup campaign is up and running!

Recorded straight after England's entertaining 4-2 victory over Croatia, Adam and Mike give their instant reaction to a game that had everything – goals, drama, and a Harry Kane masterclass. Kane grabbed two goals as England's attack looked dangerous throughout, while Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also got on the scoresheet in a statement win over one of the tournament's toughest opening opponents.

But does this result mean England are genuine contenders to go all the way and finally bring football home?

Join us as we break down the key moments, discuss what impressed us most, and ask the big question: could this be England's year?

Welcome back to the Factor 50 Football Podcast!

With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, Mike and Adam turn their attention to football's biggest prize as they look ahead to what promises to be a fascinating tournament across the USA, Canada and Mexico.

The lads plot out England's potential route to the final, discussing the teams that could stand in their way and whether this could finally be the year football comes home. They also pick out their favourites for the tournament, debate which nations could emerge as dark horses, and identify the players who could light up the World Cup stage.

Of course, no World Cup discussion would be complete without a healthy dose of nostalgia. From iconic goals and unforgettable matches to the moments that defined their childhoods, Mike and Adam share some of their favourite World Cup memories and relive the magic that makes the tournament so special.

All that plus the usual football chat, questionable predictions, and plenty of debate along the way.

Enjoy the show!

🧠 Mike vs Adam: The Factor 50 Quiz

Expect football chat, dodgy answers, football nostalgia and plenty of laughs along the way.

A proper mixed bag this week.

Roy Keane’s had plenty to say about Bruno Fernandes, so naturally we had to get stuck into that. Fair criticism or classic Keane going full Keane?

We also react to Tuchel’s England squad announcement. Has he got it right? Any glaring misses? Any picks that make absolutely no sense?

And because apparently we enjoy pain… we went back and listened to our predictions from episode one.

Were we right?

Absolutely not.

In fact, Adam produced a prediction so bad it may genuinely require an apology.

Episode 31 of the Factor 50 Football Podcast is here.

Arsenal have finally done it.

After 22 years of waiting, Mikel Arteta’s side have been crowned Premier League champions after Man City’s draw with Bournemouth confirmed the title.

We get Mike’s full reaction to Arsenal ending the drought, what it means for the club, and whether this team is now ready to build something even bigger.

We also preview the Champions League final between Arsenal and PSG, and dive into some of the biggest stories in football, including Southampton’s Spygate controversy, the playoff drama, rumours around Pep leaving Man City, Maresca potentially stepping in, Alonso being linked with Chelsea, and Salah’s latest statement.

And finally, we reveal the final results of the predictions game between Adam and Mike.

Arsenal are champions. Mike is emotional. Adam is trying to stay professional.

Episode 30 is here… and we’ve got controversy. 👀

Was West Ham ROBBED… or did VAR actually get it right?

This week Mike and Adam get stuck into the huge talking point from Arsenal vs West Ham, where a last-gasp West Ham equaliser was chalked off after VAR spotted a possible foul on David Raya.

Mike gives his verdict (you can probably guess how calm and measured that was… 😅) as we look at whether Arsenal got away with one, what it means for the title race, and whether that moment could have massive consequences at both ends of the table with West Ham staring at trouble.

Also in this episode:

⚽ The less said about Sunderland 0-0 the better… but obviously we say plenty.
👀 Jose Mourinho is BACK. What does that mean and where could this go?
🏆 Prediction league update with just TWO weeks left… can Adam pull off an outrageous comeback or is Mike already mentally engraving his name on the trophy?

If you love football debates, questionable predictions, and two blokes pretending they know what VAR is doing… you’re in the right place.

Factor 50 Football Podcast – Episode 29

Mike’s turned up smiling… which usually means one thing.

Arsenal are flying.

Two league wins on the bounce, through to the Champions League final, and with Man City slipping up in a 3-3 draw against Everton… it’s suddenly back in Arsenal’s hands.

So the big question this week:

Can they actually go on and win the title?

We put Mike on the spot.

Elsewhere, it’s a big one for United fans too. A 3-2 win over Liverpool that could mean more than just three points… momentum, belief, and maybe a bit of chaos thrown into the mix.

And of course, we wrap things up with the predictions game.

Adam’s got a mountain to climb.
Mike’s got the lead.
And there’s not many games left.

This could get interesting.

• Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Newcastle
• The growing injury concerns for Arteta
• Can Arsenal still win the league?
• Manchester United securing Champions League football
• United’s 2-1 win over Brentford
• Keep or sell: Arsenal edition
• Keep or sell: Manchester United edition
• The Factor 50 predictions game

And of course, the big question remains...

Can Adam catch Mike before the end of the season?
