399: World Cup Preview with THG

Randy and TC, at long last, welcome THG back to the Trap Draw as we chop for a half hour on some mea culpas and monitoring items before the main event - THG’s guide to the 2026 World Cup. We start with a look at the US squad before a group-by-group breakdown of the 48-team field and our picks to win.


This is the guy we trust? He didn’t even play soccer (yes I’m not counting frat league as soccer)

Listen, trusting him is a personal problem. I don’t come to the Trap Draw for good sports takes.

Fair point, I expect too much.

That being his response to a question about different tactical formations is all you need to know. Also not knowing that Italy has missed the last 3 WCs or saying that 5’10" is tall… all discredit anything he says.

I won’t hear a kind word about the South Africa World Cup. The vuvuzelas made the whole thing unwatchable.

Also, mere months after the latest flare up of racism in Spain’s soccer stadiums, guess who hoisted the World Cup at the end. Karmically undeserving winner.

I did enjoy Diego Forlan’s swansong and the drama of Ghana/Argentina, but you can take the rest of it away.

Yeah? Well that’s just like your opinion, man

Lads, i say this out of love but god this was a painful listen as an English football (soccer) fan. Loved THG but please please please get someone who knows ball on to join you all next time ! dare I say a European even, I would suggest Jamie weir but as he is a spurs fan :nauseated_face:i think he should be disqualified. otherwise, thank you for all you do for the game.
