The World Cup of Modern Football Is Rubbish
You’re watching the free group stages, Groups A–D. The full tournament is on Patreon and Spotify.
Special guest Sam Palmer joins us for the World Cup of Modern Football Is Rubbish - where contenders battle it out to be crowned the worst thing about the modern game. From billionaire meddling to choreographed fandom, from corrupt governing bodies to YouTubers pretending to be pros, this group is stacked with absolute offenders. But which one truly deserves to top the table for ruining football as we know it? A full standalone episode taken from our Patreon-exclusive series — funny, fiery and painfully relatable for anyone who thinks the sport has lost the plot. Let us know your winner. We'll be arguing about this all week.
