The V2 Football Podcast World Cup Preview

by Trebs Wed Jun 13, 2018 2:05 pm

Anthony Kendrick, Shane Lees and Richard 'Hero' Hudson preview the 2018 world cup.

Will this be the tournament that England finally deliver, given that they have won just six tournament knockout games since 1966? We discuss whether Gareth Southgate has done a good job, given the praise from the media and England's strongest line-up. Is one defensive midfielder sufficient against the top sides?

We look at the other major contenders for the World Cup. Brazil, Belgium, Argentina, Germany, Spain and France are the favourites, but can these be narrowed down? We talk about the side which has an extremely strong attack on paper but not in practice. And also, how will Lopetegui announcing that he is joining Real Madrid affect Spain?

We also look at the dark horses. Portugal will want to build on their surprise Euro 2016 victory. But can the likes of Croatia, Mexico or Colombia cause a surprise?
