The Unused SubsShow Notes
This week, we are graced by not one but TWO ALL WHITES: Marko Stamenić and Alex Paulsen! Goran & Jacob ventured into the team hotel while the squad was in Auckland, and burgled a little bit of time with each of them. A massive thanks to NZF and McDonald’s for making it all possible! We hope you all enjoy the results.
Marko tells us about life with Swansea in the EFL Championship, including his recent interactions with the iconic Snoop Dogg! Did you know Snoop tried talking tactics with the team?!
Alex has spent the season in Poland with Lechia Gdansk, and what he's experienced is unlike anything he has before. But we shouldn't be surprised that as soon as he turned up, his club's fortunes turned around! He chats to us about climbing the league ladder, and the danger of trying to speak Polish!
Iffy reveals his All Whites Starting XI for the World Cup! Tell us what you think in the comments! We talk the Wellington Phoenix winning 3 in a row, that Hiroki Sakai tackle, and just who are the biggest ball strikers, the heaviest hitters, in world football?

Spain has defeated Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final to become WORLD CHAMPIONS for the second time! On the surface, a solitary goal in extra time doesn't sound overly impressive or convincing, but dig a little deeper and you will see that this was not only a one-sided finale, but one of the most dominant World Cup campaigns, ever.
England has been defeated by Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Semifinals. And of course, the finger of blame is pointing directly at England's manager Thomas Tuchel. Were his defensive tactics in the final half hour of the clash 'cowardly' as has been reported in the UK media since the 2-1 loss?
