The Guardian's Football Weekly podcast discusses Spain's victory in the 2026 World Cup final, with Max Rushden joined by Barry Glendenning, John Brewin, Jonathan Wilson and Sid Lowe to reflect on the win. The panel argue that Spain's triumph, their second World Cup title, was thoroughly deserved, contrasting it with a poor showing from Argentina, who struggled to create chances throughout the match.

The hosts note that Argentina failed to register a shot on target until extra time, while Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon was barely tested and made no saves during the game. The episode also touches on lighter topics, including Tom Cruise's presence at the tournament and a Harlem Globetrotters-style Soccer Aid exhibition match between England and France, alongside listener questions.
