Episode 274: Is the men's World Cup getting worse?

After 100 matches, Brenda, Jessica, and Shireen take stock of the 2026 Men’s World Cup, from the most corrupt moments (so far) to the most interesting storylines. We discuss how this Cup will be remembered, and whether there’s any hope for the future of the men’s tournament. We also make predictions ahead of the two semifinal matchups, between France and Spain and Argentina and England. Of course, we also have a fresh Burn Pile and a new batch of Torchbearers.

Content note: as part of our discussion on this year’s men’s World Cup, we discuss sexual violence.
