Episode 4: How to McBurnie your bridges

This week on Baggio’s Penalty Landed in My Garden we run through some of the biggest talking points ahead of the World Cup. Did Steve Clarke pick the right Scotland attack? Can Brazil win anything with that midfield? Why does Portugal suddenly feel a bit… PSG? And are Germany looking weak?

Then we head back to Italia 90 — the iconic stadiums, discovering new countries and players for the first time, and why that tournament still means so much to football fans today. A proper nostalgia trip with a cracking soundtrack.

Football chat, nostalgia and a few strong opinions along the way.

Episode 3: If WWE did World Cup Finals

We’re back again on Baggio’s Penalty Landed in My Garden, and yeah… we’re still not over the madness around the FIFA World Cup 2026. This time we dig deeper into those ridiculous ticket prices and some of the new rules coming in — are they actually improving the game or just making things even weirder?

We also run through the latest play-off winners, and then… there’s Italy national football team. What’s gone wrong? We get into the bigger picture and the ongoing issues in Italian football.

Then for our nostalgia trip, we head back to the iconic 2006 FIFA World Cup — drama, headbutts, and a final that honestly felt like it was written by WWE. Chaos, tension, and one of the strangest endings to a World Cup ever.

Football chat, a bit of ranting, and plenty of nostalgia. Episode 3, let’s go.

Episode 2: Can Trump Ban Haiti, Morocco AND Brazil?

This week we pick up the latest stories around the 2026 World Cup. Ticket sales. Trump banning everyone and how it might impact crowds this summer.

We break down Uzebekistan and Cape Verde. How they qualified for the World Cup, how they play and the players to watch out for.

This week's nostalgia takes us to Asia as we remember the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan. The home nations, the Three Rs, Turkey and Italian overreactions.

A bit of football chat, a bit of nostalgia, and plenty of opinion. This is Baggio’s Penalty Landed in My Garden.
