Episode 153 - Our 6 BOLDEST Football Predictions for 2026

7 Jan 2026 · 51 min

Patrick and Hayden make six bold predictions for football in 2026, covering players, managers, the Premier League and the World Cup.

We discuss why Benjamin Šeško may never lead Manchester United in scoring, whether Real Madrid could sell Vinícius Jr this year, and why Morgan Rogers could start for England at the World Cup. There’s also a look at Liverpool vs Aston Villa in the league, the post-World Cup managerial market, and whether Diego Simeone’s time at Atlético Madrid is finally coming to an end.
