Episode Notes

BPW presents the complete preview of all 48 teams competing at the FIFA World Cup 2026!


Hosted by Marcus Iredahl (former host of the Bundesliga Rundown), the show features two of his mates: Nana Singh, a Berlin native and Hertha BSC supporter, and Aarron Duncan-Macleod, a Scotsman who will be Miami-bound in just a couple of weeks.


In this marathon episode, they discuss:

  • The tournament favourites: France, Spain and – much to Aarron's dismay – England.
  • The potential dark horses: Ecuador, Japan and the host nation, the United States.
  • Is Cristiano Ronaldo holding Portugal back? And is Lionel Messi still as good a footballer as he once was?
  • Will Julian Nagelsmann's poor pre-tournament communication cause issues for Die Mannschaft?
  • Which smaller nation will be the most exciting team to watch?

With only a few days to go until the World Cup kicks off, be sure to listen to this preview to get a little more informed on all 48 teams – from Iraq to Brazil – and, hopefully, have a laugh with us along the way.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
