## Resource

The 2026 World Cup has officially kicked off, and Finding a Football Club is here to provide the ultimate alternative commentary. Luke and Roberto suffer through the opening game, so you don’t have to. While Mexico comfortably secure a 2-0 win to cash Luke's (some say genius) bet, the lads are more interested in Salma Hayek’s billionaire husband, question why Paul Bettany used 9/11 to propose to Jennifer Connelly, and disagree on the talent of Mark Lawrenson. Roberto steals the show with an anecdote from his local cricket club involving an oblivious 19-year-old, a girlfriend currently in labour, and a biological father who has conveniently fled to Tunisia. Plus, the boys test their obscure football knowledge with a few rounds of Goalless, simulate their 38-0 teams, and rattle through their definitive World Cup brackets.
