Wayne Bridge and Carlton Cole are joined by Dave from The Secret Scout for a full World Cup 2026 debrief. Carlton didn’t enjoy the final but is glad Argentina’s bullies didn’t win. The guys marvel at the brilliance of Spain and the seemingly untouchable Rodri.
We go off on Tuchel’s tactics and lack of ambition, but praise the England squad for a valiant effort. We look ahead and pick England’s future stars. Whilst the three lions might have a lack of strikers coming through the ranks to replace Kane, Carlton’s doing his bit by personally raising the next generation.
The guys dish out awards for best player, best goal and more, meanwhile our pick of the World Cup moments include Djed Spence’s superb performances, epic renditions of Wonderwall and Wayne’s super strength strawberry daiquiris.
The Dressing Room will return in August with the arrival of the new Premier League Season.
