We're heading back to 2012, a year of unforgettable sport, massive pop culture moments, huge news stories and some things that are frankly terrifying to realise happened 14 years ago.

From AGUEROOOOOO!, London 2012 and Lance Armstrong to Little Mix, Netflix, the Costa Concordia disaster and loads more, everything that defined the year is eligible for the draw.

Sport versus music. News versus television. Genuine history versus complete nonsense. It's exactly the sort of comparison that shouldn't work but somehow does.

This free episode features Groups A–D as Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie begin the search for the greatest thing about 2012.

The boys are back from their summer break, and The World Cup Of is back!

Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie kick off the new run with The World Cup of Mad Sports, putting some of the strangest and most unconventional sports and sporting ideas on the planet into the draw.

From Kings League, Sperm Racing and Cheese Rolling to Run Nation, Spogomi, women's football, pickleball, shin kicking and loads more, it's a suitably ridiculous way to get the World Cups started again.

Some are genuine sporting phenomena. Some are completely bonkers. All of them are fighting for a place in the next stage.

This free episode features Groups A–D. Who survives the opening groups, and which mad sport deserves to go all the way?

It's finally over.

After weeks of football, endless debates, shock results, VAR controversy and far too many predictions that didn't age particularly well, Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie return one last time to wrap up the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This time we're reacting to the World Cup Final and England's 6–4 victory over France in the third-place play-off, discussing what those games mean, handing out our final verdicts on the tournament, and deciding whether this World Cup will be remembered as one of the greats.

We'll pick out our favourite players, biggest surprises, best goals, biggest flops and the moments we'll still be talking about years from now.

This really is the end of our World Cup coverage... until the next one.

If you've enjoyed following us throughout the tournament, don't forget there's a huge library of World Cup Of tournaments waiting for you.

The tournament is over, and it's time for Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie to look back on everything that made the 2026 FIFA World Cup unforgettable.

From the biggest shocks and standout players to the best matches, worst moments, surprise packages, disappointments and the stories that defined the tournament, this is our complete review of a World Cup that gave us plenty to argue about.

We revisit our predictions, discuss who exceeded expectations, who completely let us down, and reveal the moments that will live long in World Cup folklore. As always, expect strong opinions, plenty of football chat and the occasional completely unnecessary tangent.

A quick note: We recorded this before England beat France 6–4 in the third-place play-off. A nice way to finish, but after Argentina knocked us out in the semi-final, the World Cup was basically over as far as we were concerned. So this episode is very much a post-mortem on the defeat that actually hurt.

Whether you agreed with our takes throughout the tournament or spent six weeks shouting at your speakers, this is our final word on the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
