Episode Notes

Spain are world champions. Argentina fell just short. Every other South American nation was eliminated before the quarter-finals.

Tim Vickery explains why the 2026 World Cup may represent something much bigger than one disappointing tournament for Brazil, Uruguay or Colombia. Has Europe started to leave South American football behind?

Tim examines Brazil’s failure, Argentina’s uncertain future after Lionel Messi, Colombia’s potential, the rise of European player development and how the UEFA Nations League has reduced South America’s opportunities to face Europe’s strongest teams.
