The World Cup Of / 27 Aug 2026
The World Cup of 2012
You’re watching the free group stages, Groups A–D. The full tournament is on Patreon and Spotify.
We're heading back to 2012 , a year of unforgettable sport, massive pop culture moments, huge news stories and some things that are frankly terrifying to realise happened 14 years ago. From AGUEROOOOOO! , London 2012 and Lance Armstrong to Little Mix , Netflix , the Costa Concordia disaster and loads more, everything that defined the year is eligible for the draw. Sport versus music. News versus television. Genuine history versus complete nonsense. It's exactly the sort of comparison that shouldn't work but somehow does. This free episode features Groups A–D as Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie begin the search for the greatest thing about 2012. 🔒 FINISH THE TOURNAMENT Enjoyed Groups A–D?
