Summary

Wow. Just wow. Troy Parrott takes the headlines once again!

Musa and Ryan chat about his amazing hat-trick in Budapest to take Ireland to the playoffs for the 2026 World Cup, ahead of Hungary. They also chat about DR Congo’s penalty shootout win, which saw them qualify and means Nigeria will miss the tournament once more.

Then, it’s onto England’s perfect qualifying campaign (16:20), plus a discussion about the weird discourse that continues to surround Jude Bellingham (21:37), a defence for a player that should be celebrated and reasons why an England qualifying campaign isn’t allowed to be routine and calm.

There’s also a wrap up and shout outs of the WSL, NWSL, Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid and more (36:41).

We're now less than three weeks away from our first live show at the Southbank Centre in London. So, if you haven't already, please go get your tickets here!
