Episode Notes
"You gonna watch Curacao vs. Saudi Arabia?" The 2026 World Cup is officially expanded, and the "minnows" are coming for the giants. Are we about to witness the greatest underdog stories in football history, or is the gap between the elite and the rest wider than ever?
In this episode of the Brazilian Shirt Name podcast, Tim Vickery and Dotun Adebayo are joined by Paul Watson and Lee Wingate from the Sweeper Podcast to dive deep into the weird, wacky, and wonderful world of international football. From the Vatican City’s "unholy" league to Haiti’s emotional qualification journey and Curacao’s ageing Dutch legends and Egypt's Mohamed Salah, they analyse the teams you need to watch in 2026. We break down the tactics, the diaspora recruitment strategies, and why Uruguay might be in serious trouble under Marcelo Bielsa.
