Summary

Amit & Austin kick off their World Cup previews with a big picture look at the 2026 tournament, both on and off the field. The guys talk ticket prices, politics, and weather, before shifting to look at what to expect on the pitch: set pieces, the push and pull of low event football, and the constant calculations required with a third place table in play.
