Tuchel Gambles With England Squad, Ronaldo's Last Dance, & Dark Horses | Group K and Group L Preview

! youtube.com/channel/UCwWgXewMHxlPkP5FkxoZvKQ

The Cup of Cups previews continue as Rog and Rory Smith break down Groups K and L ahead of this summer's biggest tournament.

First up: England. Thomas Tuchel has made some huge calls with his squad selection, leaving several star names at home. Are the Three Lions finally building a team instead of a collection of talent? And if England fall short yet again, where does the blame land?

Then it's on to Croatia, Ghana, and Panama, including Luka Modrić's enduring brilliance, Ghana's managerial gamble, and why Panama may be one of the most organized teams in the field.

In Group K, the spotlight turns to Portugal and the never-ending Cristiano Ronaldo debate. Can Portugal's star-studded midfield carry them to glory? Would they actually be better without Ronaldo? And how much pressure is on Roberto Martínez to finally deliver?

Plus: Colombia's dangerous attacking talent, Uzbekistan's remarkable rise from football newcomer to global contender, DR Congo's long-awaited return to the biggest stage, Rory's group winners, players to watch, bold predictions, and much more.
