Dropping overnight UK/CET - @drpetewatson.bsky.social joins me on the pod to dissect the 2026 World Cup in Latin America. Including: 🇦🇷 Argentina's soft power disaster 🇺🇾 Is Uruguay a 'heritage brand' now? 🇧🇷 Is the worst Brazil side in a century? 🇲🇽 🇨🇴 When will Mexico and Colombia succeed? And more!

Hampshire have been so absolutely dire this summer, I’ve almost stopped watching. The pitiful efforts of organ, Albert, prest and Weatherley to defend a straight ball sum up their entire red ball careers. Very very mediocre batters

Can’t help thinking that the punishment for the Argentinian players is much more severe than for the AFA. Can’t see those fines or stipulations making any difference whatsoever to discrimination awareness for instance. Will likely only stimulate a nationalistic rejection of any problem existing

In the1920s, the Olympic football competition was widely regarded as the World Championships for the game. Uruguay triumphed in both the 1924 and 1928 tournaments, & won the 1st World Cup in 1930. How did it happen? @drpetewatson.bsky.social discusses this on yourboystookahellofabeating.substack.com
