On the podcast today; our third and final World Cup preview. Group I contains the incredibly talented France team. Didier Deschamps is at the helm for one final tournament, can they go better than the final loss in Qatar in 2022? They have a potentially tricky group featuring Senegal, Norway and Iraq.

In Group J it’s Argentina, Algeria and, Austria and Jordan. Do Argentina have what it takes to go again this summer? Is back-to-back World Cups within Lionel Messi’s grasp?

Portugal are the standout team in Group K that also features DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia. Portugal have a brilliant squad on paper but Cristiano Ronaldo, as always, looms large over everything

And then finally to Group L, can Thomas Tuchel take England all the way? They’ll have to get past Croatia, Ghana and Panama first.
