The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues as Mario and Amilcar break down Groups D, E, and F!

In this episode, we take a closer look at a competitive Group D featuring the United States, Turkey, Paraguay, and Australia, discuss whether Germany can return to its World Cup best in Group E, and preview a fascinating Group F led by the Netherlands and Japan.

Along the way, we share our predictions for who advances, debate the impact of home-field advantage for the USMNT, discuss Ecuador's impressive qualifying campaign, and explore whether Japan or the Netherlands could make a deep run in the tournament.

We also go on a few World Cup-related tangents, including national team eligibility, dual-national players, and the unique challenges teams are facing as they prepare for the biggest tournament in soccer.
