THE FINAL EIGHT ARE SET! 🚨🌎

from The 90plus5 football podcast · host The90plus5podcast

After a two-week break while Mekus was exploring the pubs of the UK, the boys are back in Lagos! Tunji and Mekus dive straight into the deep end as we reach the Final Eight of the 2026 World Cup. We analyze the biggest surprises of the tournament so far—how did Belgium find their "Bronze Generation" spark again, and is Switzerland’s recurring quarterfinal appearance a fluke or a tradition?We break down the mouth-watering matchups: Can England’s "horrible" defense handle the pure force of Erling Haaland and a clinical Norway side? We also discuss the Spanish Wall, which hasn't conceded a single goal all tournament, and whether Lukaku's physicality can break their possession-based defense. Finally, we look at the "Dictator" Kylian Mbappé and the Messi Carry Job, as Argentina rides the wave of pure aura toward a potential repeat of the 2022 final.
