Men In Blazers

Rog, Rory Smith, and James Horncastle break down the final push to complete the 2026 World Cup field. They begin with the UEFA playoffs, where Italy once again stare down the pressure of qualification and the weight of past failures. Elsewhere, the Republic of Ireland arrive as a dangerous, in-form contender fueled by belief, led by the red-hot Troy Parrott. Next, they turn to the intercontinental playoffs, where underdog stories like New Caledonia and high-stakes clashes across continents highlight the global stakes of the expanded tournament. Plus, predictions for who claims the final spots on football’s biggest stage. Presented by Christopher Ward.
