IT'S WORLD CUP WEEK!
6/8/202655 min
Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally here. The actual World Cup is this bloomin' week! Has anyone checked on Marcus' aunt?
He's back in the hot seat, flanked by Luke and Jim to discuss whether England's warm-up game against New Zealand actually happened. Plus, should Captain Tom have been represented during Paraguay's send-off fireworks display? And Florentino Pérez's reign of terror at Real Madrid continues... while José Mourinho's has just begun.

This episode is sponsored by Fizz Mobile. I like to customize things, open them up, fiddle around a bit, and make them my own. Yes, this sometimes ends with me having to replace a household electrical item and apologize, but when it comes to my mobile plan, I'm in luck because I'm with Fizz Mobile. Fizz offers customizable mobile plans starting at $20 a month, so you only pay for what you actually need. Not only can you build the plan to suit you, any unused data rolls over to the next month, so it never goes to waste. With Fizz, unused data rolls over and stays available for up to 90 days. So if you don't use all your data one month, it carries forward, and you can build up extra data over time depending on your usage. Fizz's phone plans also come with clear, transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no hassle. Fun, fresh, and fair is who they are. Mobile plans that adapt to you, not the other way around. Use code PODF1 to get an extra 10 gigabytes and a $40 referral bonus when you activate your first plan. Use code PODF1. Visit fizz.ca to build your mobile plan.
