Football Ramble

It's World Cup Eve! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete fill their tournament stockings with predictions, ranging from well-reasoned guesses to complete punts into the international football void. But Marcus has listened to his heart for one crucial category...

Elsewhere, Luke goes big (too big) for his Surprise Package, Jim brings terrible luck on us all, and Pete's notable mad s*** means he'll have to take a trip to Mexico to verify the identity of a dog. Join us!

Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally here. The actual World Cup is this bloomin' week! Has anyone checked on Marcus' aunt?

He's back in the hot seat, flanked by Luke and Jim to discuss whether England's warm-up game against New Zealand actually happened. Plus, should Captain Tom have been represented during Paraguay's send-off fireworks display? And Florentino Pérez's reign of terror at Real Madrid continues... while José Mourinho's has just begun.

They all thought it was over after last week's My Biddy Aunt final. They were wrong. The Luke Nation, the Ehantharajah Empire, and Spelgium will cross swords once more to see who will claim the humungous Jack's Encyclopaedia trophy and the belt to go with it.

Jim's on the buttons for this finale, and this time it really is winner takes all.

Reports of World Cup fever have grown exponentially since Tommy Tuchel and his brave boys landed down in the US this week. The World Cup is just days away and we're bloomin' well ready for it.

Luke's Ramble coup d'état continues as he refuses to leave the comfy chair. Jim and David join him to take a look at England and Scotland's pre-tournament friendlies in the States. Plus, Grant Hanley's back shaving pal, Japanese cowboy hats, and Rio Ferdinand's marriage-saving spare toilets.
