## Resource

Ali, George and Dave get together to discuss a great phenomenon: the wildcard. Looking back at some famous wildcard selections from history, some that are less easily remembered, and putting forward one name each that could be considered a wildcard call-up to Thomas Tuchel's squad for this summer's World Cup. We'd love to hear about ones from history that we missed, and your own bold wildcard picks and how it'll come to pass. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
