The American dream | 2026 FIFA World Cup
6/13/202658 min
We've had our first gubbing of the World Cup! And from the 'main hosts' USA against Paraguay! Marcus, Luke and Vish react to a historic day for both the US and Canada after Jesse Marsch's men drew with Bosnia and Herzegovina – all enhanced by Michael Bublé, of course.
Elsewhere, England get robbed in Kansas City and move their training next to a notorious dogging site, while Scotland fans are already making their mark in Boston. Plus, who would you rather literally be in the trenches with: Jason Cundy or Jamie O'Hara?

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.
