Matt Forde is alongside comedian Jacob Hawley and two former World Cup heroes, John Barnes and Brad Friedel, to look ahead to the start of the 2026 World Cup!

Barnes tells us why fans will always be more important than players when it comes to major tournaments and why he has the utmost respect for anyone heading out to America this summer.

We hear from Brad on some of his concerns over conditions in America which John calls 'an excuse'

And as the two greatest players in living memory prepare for their final tournament, we ask what impact Messi and Ronaldo will have on the tournament this summer!
