This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly.

Here are your World Cup previews.

It's your tournament guide pullout without the hassle of reading. Four groups per pod in Alphabescal order. So Group A hosts Mexico alongside South Africa, Hingman's Sun and Powell's South Korea, and Czechia, Patrick Schick, Thomas Shoechek, and presumably Carol Paborski. Group B, quite exciting, Canadians and Swiss, question mark, we've never said that before. Edin Jekko and Bosnia and Qatar.

Group C, Ewan Murray in for some optimism as the Scots play Haiti, Morocco and Brazil.

And then Group D will get a Sokeroos perspective as the Aussies line up against host the US,

Paraguay and the Dark Horses of Turkey.

Let's get on with it.

This is today's Guardian Football Weekly.

Thank you. Let's get on with it. This is today's Guardian Football Weekly. Alongside me for the whole pod, the racing post, Mark Langdon.

Welcome, Mark.

Hi, Max.

Hello, Lars Siviton.

Hello, Max.

And Barry Glendening is here.

Hello.

Yeah, we should probably point out we're recording these a week before they go out.

So just in case Harry Kane pulls a hamstring or something, we apologize.

But let's get into it then with Group A, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and Czechia.

Mexico managed by Javier Aguir, known as El Vasco, his third time managing El-Tree in the World Cup,

the best ever.

Quarterfinals in 1970 and Mexico 86, well, Mexico 70 as well.
