Is This England?
80 - World Cup 2026 Preview
•
Want to hear two men guessing their way through predictions for the 2026 World Cup? We've got you covered.
Is This England swerves the Three Lions for once, taking a look at groups A-K and making some predictions as to how the tournament could play out.
Along the way, we learn that favourites to lift the trophy aren't so clear this time around, as well as discussing who the dark horses could be.
We also come to the realisation that some countries just simply cannot let go of the past - and we love them for it.
