The Clock End Taproom

The World Cup is finally here, and there's plenty to discuss.

In Episode 3 of The Clock End Taproom, Dave is joined by Fize and Nath as we look back on the opening days of the tournament and ask a big question: has the World Cup become too big?

With the expanded format bringing more nations than ever before, we discuss whether the one-sided scorelines are a problem or simply part of what makes the World Cup the greatest sporting event on the planet.

This week we discuss:

• Which nation we'd choose to support if we could pick any nationality
• The expanded 48-team World Cup
• Whether 32 teams remains the perfect format
• The players who have caught our eye so far
• Potential Arsenal transfer targets from the tournament
• Our favourite matches from the opening week
• The UK vs USA debate – stadiums, food, atmosphere and everything in between

We also take a closer look at Arsenal's players at the World Cup, including Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyökeres, David Raya, Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Gabriel and Martin Zubimendi.

Finally, we preview England's clash with Croatia and discuss England's chances of going all the way.

Welcome to The Clock End Taproom.

This is just a quick introduction to let you know what's coming soon.

We're three Arsenal supporters who love talking football, so we've decided to start recording the conversations we'd probably be having in the pub anyway. Expect match reactions, transfer talk, tactical debates, plenty of nostalgia and, no doubt, the occasional disagreement.

If you're looking for insider information or clickbait headlines, this probably isn't the podcast for you. But if you enjoy honest Arsenal discussion from fans who care deeply about the club, we'd love for you to pull up a chair and join us.

Our first full episode will be landing soon, so make sure you hit Follow or Subscribe on your podcast app of choice to be among the first to hear it.

Thanks for listening, and we'll see you soon at The Clock End Taproom.
