The group stage of FIFA World Cup 2026 is over and teams are now being eliminated in the round of 32. In this episode, which is roughly the same length as the average game at WC2026, I am joined by Zdenek from The Footglish Podcast. Expect discussion of styles of play in modern football, the changes introduced this year and their effects on the game - including VAR updates, time wasting measures, plus an overview of England today (30 June) and Czechia, who is the true GOAT - Messi? Who will get to 1000 first? Luke or Christiano Ronaldo? Plus various meme-worthy moments of weirdness and hilarity. </p><p>The Footglish Podcast 👉<a href=\"https://pod.link/1751816033\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://pod.link/1751816033</a></p><p>Contact Zdenek through his website <a href=\"https://teacherzdenek.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://teacherzdenek.com/</a></p><p>Episode page <a href=\"https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/07/01/world-cup-ramble-2-fifa-2026-with-zdenek-bonus/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/07/01/world-cup-ramble-2-fifa-2026-with-zdenek-bonus/</a></p><p>LEP Premium <a href=\"https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p>","author_name":"Luke Thompson"}
