The 2026 World Cup has officially kicked off, and Finding a Football Club is here to provide the ultimate alternative commentary. Luke and Roberto suffer through the opening game, so you don’t have to.

While Mexico comfortably secure a 2-0 win to cash Luke's (some say genius) bet, the lads are more interested in Salma Hayek’s billionaire husband, question why Paul Bettany used 9/11 to propose to Jennifer Connelly, and disagree on the talent of Mark Lawrenson.

Roberto steals the show with an anecdote from his local cricket club involving an oblivious 19-year-old, a girlfriend currently in labour, and a biological father who has conveniently fled to Tunisia.

Plus, the boys test their obscure football knowledge with a few rounds of Goalless, simulate their 38-0 teams, and rattle through their definitive World Cup brackets.

This time on Finding a Football Club, with the 2026 World Cup just days away, Luke takes the reins to guide Roberto and Jay through a worryingly comprehensive preview.

The centrepiece of the episode is Luke’s monolithic 48-team big board, where he’s meticulously ranked every single nation heading to North America. Leaving Jay fuming at the disrespect shown to Scotland.

Plus, the lads lay down their official tournament predictions. Sticking their necks out to name their Golden Boot, Golden Ball, Golden Glove and Best Young Player winners. Alongside their ultimate tournament surprise packages, runners-up and eventual winners.

The receipts are officially locked in, the predictions are signed in blood, and there is absolutely nowhere to hide.

It's a World Cup special on Finding a Football Club this week, as the lads look ahead to the 2026 edition with a 6-round draft.

The rules are simple: pick the best nations, rack up the most points, and try not to embarrass yourself.

Once the clock starts, Jay bets the house on Donald Trump rigging the tournament, Will accidentally drafts three teams from the same group, and Roberto experiences genuine buyer's remorse upon discovering who actually manages Portugal.

Plus, the gang tackles the burning issues of modern international football. Does Ronald Koeman look like a giant baby? Is Guillermo Ochoa immortal? And which draft pick resembles the desperation of being on the prowl in a nightclub?
