There isn’t much that makes us as passionate as the World Cup and now the draw has been made our pulses are definitely racing.

Joining Graham Miller to talk about the draw on this episode are:

Janie Frampton OBE, one of only eight FIFA female referee instructors, Tom Watt, football author and broadcaster, and we get an American perspective from Mike Smith, executive director of Burnley.

We talk about World Cup ticket prices, Cristiano Ronaldo’s suspended ban and the reduced reliance on votes in FIFA’s decision-making processes, but we also look forward to the exciting matches that have been thrown up, the countries we’re looking forward to watching, and which teams we think might win it this time around.
