Show Notes
The 2026 FIFA World Cup concluded with Spain capturing their second world championship by defeating Argentina in a dominant final at MetLife Stadium. The expanded 48-team tournament featured historic comebacks, superstar milestones, and tactical mastery. Most importantly for you guys, The Soccer Betting Podcast, when it mattered the most, cemented itself as the No.1 football betting podcast on the planet, verified by independent and publicised tracking that charted us at No.1 for the tournament- going 88.9% for the group stages and 71.4% for the knockouts.
As always, there is no time to stop and soak in the glory, because life doesn't stop and neither can we, and in the midst of the World Cup, many of EPL teams certainly didn't stop and have super busy in the transfer market. Tottenham have been one of the standouts as far as "doing business" goes, but has their window actually been any good? Meanwhile, Chelsea have broken the British transfer fee once again by spending £117m on Morgan Rogers, but is the England man truly worth anywhere near that price tag?
