It's finally here and we are excited! It's time for the World Cup to begin and for Ruairi and Adam to give you the lowdown on each group, squad, form, favourites and dark horses!

But not before we take you through our stories of the week, featuring the Baltic Cup, Gibraltar's first win in 22 and of course the latest on Ivan's antics and were the clues staring us in the face the whole time? 

We've asked our guests to give us their thoughts (find the videos here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0k0pz9fjWTRc74rySpp5mq1jK6VicEd) now it's time for us to give ours, we go from A to H as we break down each group and say what we think will happen and which players and squads to keep an eye on.

Next up we give our bold predictions of what will happen at Qatar 2022, winner? Top scorer? Player of the tournament? Dark horses? The Turkey award? The El Hadj Diouf award? And The Andrew Jennings award? Find out who we think will be collecting them.

Then finally we partner up with Cards of Qatar an incredible organisation based in Sweden who are sharing the stories of the people who have lost their lives in the build up to this tournament, we cannot overstae how much we admire them for taking on this project and doing vital work, we share three of their stories and hope that they will stick with you. 

As always guys enjoy the show and don't forget to tell a friend!
