One club. Infinite regrets. After 18 months searching for a team, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali have finally settled down. York City is the chosen one. Now, the real challenge begins: learning to actually love them. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T14:20:56.880338+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288"},"episode":{"title":"The 2026 World Cup Group Stage Review","slug":"the-2026-world-cup-group-stage-review","published_at":"2026-06-25T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288/the-2026-world-cup-group-stage-review","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/finding-a-football-club-7520288","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findingafootballclub/episodes/The-2026-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Review-e3l99d4","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/104d53310/podcast/play/121987940/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-25%2F6d970af7-96ec-642a-9500-1cc5822d7de1.mp3","summary":"The 2026 World Cup group stages are grinding on, and Finding a Football Club is here to complain about it. This week, Luke, Will and Jay sift through England’s snooze-fest against Ghana, the Golden Boot race ever, and try to figure out who is making it to the knockouts. To do so, Luke unleashes a meticulously researched, mathematical group-by-group breakdown designed solely to crush Jay’s hopes and logically prove that Scotland are crashing out of the tournament. Elsewhere, the lads review their World Cup Draft teams before putting Jay in the hot seat. Not only does he have to defend his World Cup bracket (where he delusionally backs Scotland to make the quarters), but he also takes on the 38-0 challenge. To wrap up, Luke unveils his masterstroke. Tired of fighting the football podcast algorithm, he reveals he changed the show’s category, officially crowning FAFC as the UK’s No.1 Volleyball podcast. Plus, there’s a thin slice of Danny Guthrie. Get. Him. On. The. Pod.","meta_description":"The 2026 World Cup group stages are grinding on, and Finding a Football Club is here to complain about it.
