Joe is joined by Dan McDonnell (from Canada) and Miguel Delaney (from America) to preview the World Cup ahead of Thursday's kick off.
The lads discuss the political backdrop to the tournament, the impact heat and geography will have on the football and how the top contenders are looking.
Dan also gives an update on Ireland's Nations League clash with Israel, with the FAI likely to announce the game is being moved to a neutral venue.
Our football podcast coverage is sponsored by Sky Sports.
