## Resource

The World Cup is getting closer and this week the squad went head-to-head in the ultimate 7-a-side World Cup draft 🏆Using a 2-3-1 formation, we drafted teams made up entirely of players heading to the 2026 World Cup to see who could build the BEST squad possible. But who would go #1 overall? It’s hard to argue who the best player in the world is right now, but Tom still had a tough decision to make with the first pick in the draft, and his choice might surprise you 🤔Plus, we debated one of the biggest World Cup roster decisions of all… should Brazil bring Neymar? 🇧🇷Special shoutout to Carl's Jr. for sponsoring today's video! Let us know in the comments whose draft team was the best, and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss another Rondo banger 🔥 Learn more about your ad choices.
