    Contenders: England (Rabona TV)

    Adrian Sousa previews England as one of the main Contenders going into the 2026 World Cup. England are now coached by Thomas Tuchel, and with him, they bring some genuine tournament-winning acumen. Tuchel masterminded a Chelsea champions League win, one year after taking PSG to the final as well. England’s qualifying campaign was fantastic, not conceding a single goal, but Tuchel’s England tactics have made some question his pragmatic approach. Considering the attacking threats that this England team has, are they still considered World Cup contenders?To watch more World Cup content, subscribe to the Rabona TV YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RabonaTVFor daily match day previews, check out The 90th Minute YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute Hosted on Acast.

    Contenders: Spain (Rabona TV)

    Adrian Sousa of Rabona TV continues his Contenders series as we inch closer to the start of the 2026 World Cup doing a deep dive into Spain, one of the heavy favourites going into the tournament. After winning Euro 2024 when they weren’t necessarily the favourites, Spain arrive at the 2026 World Cup with a massive target on their backs, and plenty of confidence surrounding their chances to be World Champions. Lamine Yamal has improved to a point where he isn’t just a talented wonderkid, but genuinely one of the best players in the world, and someone who can win matches through his own sheer force of will. Add a supremely talented squad around him, and Luis De La Fuente’s side are top, top contenders.To watch more World Cup content, subscribe to the Rabona TV YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RabonaTVFor daily match day previews, check out The 90th Minute YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute Hosted on Acast.

No matter which teams or leagues we're all watching, there are plenty of things in common to discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
