Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Lionel Messi's historic hat trick in Argentina's 3-0 victory and discuss what it means for his final World Cup. With Messi now tied for the most World Cup goals ever, the guys debate who had the best opening performance of the tournament: Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland. They also discuss Christian Pulisic's calf injury and whether Mauricio Pochettino should protect his captain against Australia or trust him to lead the United States once again. Next, The Cooligans welcome Ben Fawkes for another World Cup betting segment. The crew breaks down the over/under for USA-Australia, debates whether Folarin Balogun is the safest goal scorer bet, and examines England's attacking options against Croatia. They also look at Mexico vs South Korea and ask whether tempers could boil over after the chaos of Mexico's opening match, while discussing Ismail Saibari's chances of scoring again for Morocco against Scotland. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis preview another packed day at the World Cup. Can Mexico take control of Group A against South Korea? Will Colombia avoid an upset against Uzbekistan? Can Ghana get a result against Panama? And with England set to face Croatia in one of the marquee games of the group stage, the guys discuss what the Three Lions need to do to prove that football really might be coming home.

Our Club Spotlight series is returning for a special World Cup edition! At this season's tournament, we have four nations competing at their first World Cup: Curaçao, Cabo Verde, Uzbekistan, and Jordan. As the competition progresses, we will be highlighting each footballing nation – exploring their political, geographical, and sporting histories and learning how they got here. First up is Curaçao, the smallest nation by population to ever qualify for a World Cup! Only autonomous since 2010, the island has seen many centuries of colonial transition and tumult. We discuss its complex history with Europeans – namely The Netherlands, the slave trade, the oil industry, and its long road to independence. We then break down some its rich sporting culture. Competing as The Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao actually had a previous golden era of football in the 1940s and 50s, led by the legendary goalkeeper, Ergilio Hato. Why has this period been somewhat lost to history outside of the Caribbean? Finally we move to the present day, where we learn how the federation was able to build a new era of footballing success, with help from Patrick Kluivert, Dick Advocaat, and players recruited from the mainland Netherlands. What should viewers expect from this edition of the Curaçao side? How do they set up? What are their chances in a stacked Group E? Cheers to Curaçao and The Blue Wave!

The most watched sporting event in the world has not been without its controversies, including high ticket prices and transport costs, as well as rows over visas and concerns about security. But, we wanted to hear from supporters. We bring together three world cup super-fans, including Craig who has walked across the United States to see his team compete. “Football is the universal language of the world,” he tells us. “That is just fact no matter where you travel, no matter where you go.” We also hear from guests in Jordan, Curacao in the Caribbean, Cape Verde and Uzbekistan. They share their excitement of watching their countries take part for the first time.

Hear about travel to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and the annual Amateur Traveler trip as host Chris Christensen and guest Bill Abbott talk about a tour to 2 of the 5 'Stans in Central Asia. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Why should you go to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan? Chris says, "In this area, you can stand in these beautiful cities that date back over two thousand years. This is a trip through some of the great crossroads of world history: Persian empires, Silk Road merchants, Turkic tribes, Mongol armies, Timurid architects, Russian generals, Soviet planners, and two very different modern countries. This is not the edge of the map as we tend to view it, but historically, it's the middle of the map." In this episode of Amateur Traveler, we celebrate episode 1,000 with a trip through Central Asia to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The episode follows a G Adventures trip, Best of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, with a small group of Amateur Traveler listeners. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-uzbekistan-and-turkmenistan/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie Foster, Laurie Horne, and Chris take a playful trip through the animal kingdom with a trivia-style episode all about the names for male and female animals. Some are familiar — like a buck and doe, bull and cow, or stallion and mare — while others are far less obvious, including cob and pen for swans, jack and jill for opossums, and even cock and hen for lobsters. Along the way, the conversation wanders in true Backyard Naturalists fashion, from international listeners in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Uzbekistan, and Zambia to jellyfish at the Tampa aquarium, a "passel of possums," and whether anyone could ever win a Jeopardy category devoted entirely to Young Sheldon, Tombstone, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? It's a lighthearted, funny, and surprisingly educational episode that proves nature vocabulary can be just as wild as the animals themselves. In this episode, you'll hear about: Animal-name trivia for ants, bears, coyotes, deer, donkeys, elephants, foxes, goats, geese, horses, jellyfish, lobsters, mallards, opossums, pigs, seahorses, squirrels, swans, tigers, and zebras The difference between familiar terms like boar and sow, drake and hen, and billy and nanny Why some animals share naming patterns across species A few surprising terms, including vixen, cob, pen, sea mare, and sea stallion A fun detour into group names, including a passel of possums The podcast's growing international audience and a warm invitation to visit Backyard Birds in Matthews, North Carolina Whether you already know your ganders from your geese or you're just here for the laughs, this episode is a fun reminder that the natural world is full of curious details hiding in plain sight.

Uzbekistan are on the cusp of making their long-awaited World Cup bow. With former Ballon d'Or winner Fabio Cannavaro at the helm, the former Soviet republic is about to become the first Central Asian country and the first double-landlocked nation to take part in the greatest show on earth. But what else do you need to know about the White Wolves before they have even kicked a ball in North America? In the final episode of our four-part series on the 2026 World Cup debutants, it is all about Uzbekistan, who have shed their decades-long nearly-men tag and arguably boast the best chances of any of the newcomers to the competition. Plus, DR Congo's preparations are disrupted by the Ebola outbreak and Bosnia bring the largest coffee pot on the planet to North America.

I dagens Expressen Fotboll VM-special tar Noa Bachner och Petter Landén sig an Grupp K: Portugal, Colombia, Demokratiska Republiken Kongo och Uzbekistan. Det är en tydligt skiktad grupp där de två storfavoriterna förväntas dansa vidare ganska bekvämt.Portugal tippas som solklar etta med sitt urstarka mittfält, men 41-årige Cristiano Ronaldos fortsatta närvaro i landslaget ses som ett stort problem som förbundskaptenen Roberto Martinez tvingas brottas med. Bakom dem väntas Colombia knipa andraplatsen, trots att de fortfarande lutar sig tungt mot åldermän som James Rodríguez och Juan Cuadrado. Podden passar även på att varna för den fängslande och oberäkneliga stortalangen Jhon Durán. Kongo väntas därefter knipa tredjeplatsen före ett riktigt svagt Uzbekistan, vars enda egentliga snackis är att den italienske legendaren Fabio Cannavaro bisarrt nog tagit över som förbundskapten. Avslutningsvis bjuder Petter på storartad nördfakta när han korar skaran till "Bola-gruppen". Detta eftersom länderna lustigt nog kan kopplas till ebola (Kongo), sporttidningen A Bola (Portugal), sexuttrycket "dar bola" (Colombia) och den uzbekiska leksaksjätten Toybola!

If you're looking for the best World Cup betting picks, group winner predictions, and tournament futures analysis, Andrew Passaro and Nick Dianni continue their 2026 World Cup preview series by breaking down Groups I, J, K, and L. We identify our favorite betting angles from each group, discuss potential surprises, and look for value in the futures markets ahead of the tournament. In Group I, featuring France, Norway, Senegal, and Iraq, we examine whether France can live up to its status as one of the tournament favorites and whether Norway or Senegal has the quality to make this one of the most competitive groups in the field. In Group J, we break down Argentina, Austria, Algeria, and Jordan. Can the defending South American giants cruise through the group, or could Austria or Algeria emerge as a legitimate threat to challenge for the top spot? We also analyze Group K, which includes Portugal, DR Congo, Colombia, and Uzbekistan. With Portugal and Colombia both carrying significant expectations, we discuss which side offers the best value and whether an underdog can disrupt the group hierarchy. Finally, we preview Group L, featuring England, Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. This group brings together tournament experience, emerging talent, and plenty of intriguing betting opportunities as teams battle for a place in the knockout rounds. As always, we focus on team strengths, weaknesses, qualification paths, futures markets, and potential dark horses to help you find the smartest bets before the World Cup begins.

Part 1 of 2 of this week's Northern Futbol dives into Canada's outlook heading into the 2026 World Cup on home soil, after playing to a 2-0 win over Uzbekistan and a 1-1 draw with Ireland in the tune-up friendlies.

The 2026 World Cup in North America is just around the corner but is it in danger of being too bloated? The June 11-July 19 tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada will feature a record 48 teams from six confederations, with 12 groups of four teams each. A new round of 32 will make its debut and the tournament will feature a record 104 matches in total, 40 games more than the 2022 edition in Qatar. Four countries that will be making their debut in North America are Curacao – the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup – fellow minnows Cape Verde, and Asian newcomers Jordan and Uzbekistan. In comparison over World Cup history, the first tournament in Uruguay in 1930 had just 13 teams – three groups of three and one group of four nations. One winner from each group advanced to the semi-finals and the tournament comprised only 18 matches. There were no qualifiers then as it was an invitational tournament. In this episode, The Straits Times collaborates with Money FM 89.3’s Sports Minutes to invite nine fans in Singapore - who hail from participating World Cup nations - and together with columnist and pundit Neil Humphreys, they look ahead to what is in store at the June 11 to July 19 tournament.
