Summary

Was Scott McTominay’s outrageous overhead kick one of the greatest we’ve ever seen as he fires Scotland to their first World Cup in 28 years? And why does it feel like the British media has it out for Jude Bellingham — is this really about football, or is there something more sinister behind the narrative? The lads dive into Scotland’s historic qualification, the press’ obsession with knocking down rising stars, and whether the entire World Cup qualification system needs a modern overhaul. Plus, a big question: what on earth will Alan do if Sunderland finish inside the Premier League’s Top 4? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.
