Summary

Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the show by friends of the show Alex Aviña, Adnan Husain and Sam Sacks to review the group stage of the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. The gang focuses on what's been happening outside of the stadium, including solidarity with Palestine at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the ongoing campaign to ban Israel from international soccer, and what the opposite of sportswashing is. Follow Alex on Twitter @Alexander_Avina , Adnan @AdnanaHusain and Sam @SamSacks . Subscribe to The Adnan Husain Show on YouTube and Means Morning News on Means TV.
