The first of several World Cup 2026 preview episodes, this one starts off where most others don't - with the teams who may not be holding the trophy aloft come the 19th July.
Millsy and Mason open their World Cup account discussing the journeys of the debutants; Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan, eventually picking their favourite dark horse.
Following that, Millsy quizzes Mason on some niche World Cup statistics: Who has been to a World Cup, but is yet to score a single point? Who has scored points but has yet to score a win? Can YOU answer any of these?
This episode also takes time to explore the wild, wonderful, and occasionally tragic world of teams who entered the World Cup with everything to prove—and sometimes proved absolutely nothing. From bold World Cup rookies shaking up the tournament, to sides who left with a clean sheet of zero points, to the ultimate “what could have been” story of Egypt missing their boat to the 1930 World Cup - this is an underdog anthology with equal parts drama, comedy, and football nerdery.
