Spain are world champions for the second time in their history after winning the 2026 World Cup. The Guardian's Football Weekly podcast panel, including Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning, John Brewin, Jonathan Wilson, and Sid Lowe, discussed whether any team has ever deserved the title more.
Dominant performance against Argentina
Argentina were terrible throughout the match, failing to register a single shot until extra time. Spain's goalkeeper Unai Simon had no saves to make, highlighting the one-sided nature of the contest. The panel agreed that Spain's control and creativity were unmatched.
Showbiz and other events
The podcast also touched on Tom Cruise bringing the world together, and a Harlem Globetrotters and Soccer Aid mash-up between England and France. Listener questions were answered, and the episode is available on Apple Podcasts, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
