Episode Notes
The hype around the FIFA men’s World Cup is at a fever pitch, with the possibility of a surprise winner from an expanded 48-team field hanging in the air. But could next year’s Women’s World Cup in Brazil prove to be even more unpredictable?
Hosts Meg Linehan and Tamerra Griffin are joined by The Athletic’s Melanie Anzidei to look at the countries that already qualified for the 2027 tournament as well those who might be facing off in an intercontinental playoff. They also discuss whether Marta might suspend her retirement to help Brazil lift the trophy at home and why Mexico could be a dark horse contender.
