Hello Rank Squad! It's time to bring the Transfer Guru firmly back into play with the World Cup done and dusted - and Dean's been keeping an eye on the biggest transfers that have taken place both during the tournament and after it finished. With that in mind, we talk through the big deals involved in Tottenham Hotspur's complete revamp, and Manchester United's midfield refresh; before heading onwards to discuss the changes at Chelsea, including Morgan Rogers' British record transfer move, the deal it eclipsed in Elliot Anderson's shift to Manchester City, Real Madrid's defensive rebuild (and what happens next), Villa replacing beautifully like-for-like, and Bayern doing what they do best in the market for good measure. Then, Jack takes us on a little tour of 10 deals he likes this summer that might have just slipped under your radar, from Leeds' superstar new centre-back addition, to Griezmann's replacement at Atletico Madrid, a young Belgian superstar off to Germany, some free transfers to Premier League midfields, and a veteran striking presence set to light things up for the returning Deportivo La Coruña.

Hello Rank Squad! We've got a special guest for you today, as we're joined by the man who covered the World Cup like no other - Casey Settleman of Snapback Sports, who went to a World Cup game every day of the tournament, criss-crossing the three host countries and getting acquainted with the 48 fanbases across the tournament. Today he joins Jack to look back at the adventure of a lifetime, as well as doing a bunch of mini-rankings to give a better feel for what life was like in the thick of the action. Casey ranks his favourite games, stadia, fanbases, individual performances, match atmospheres and concession food from across a World Cup odyssey - and we have a chat too through a few of the other elements in the equation.

Hello Rank Squad! Here's a little bit of a bonus episode looking back at the World Cup final, where Spain triumphed 1-0 over Argentina thanks to a Ferran Torres winner in extra time, as the comprehensively better side on the day lifted the trophy, and opened up the conversation again about a cohesive collective being stronger than the stardust of the individual. We take a look back at both sides of the final and how it played out, taking a couple of questions on each from our Postbox episode on our Patreon. We also discuss our Team of the Tournament, some winners and losers from the World Cup, and the legacy that it will hold in the USA and beyond. We'd love to have you over on the Patreon, where our Ultras get two extra episodes a week, your questions answered on the Postbox and thus, the ability to direct the flow of the conversation; and plenty more all summer long, including Dean's transfer notebook and special Q&A episodes; and there's loads more on there too in the full version of this episode (which is almost double the length!) - with a discussion of England after the Bronze Medal Match, and a brilliant story from one of our listeners about the life-changing experience of watching this World Cup in Costa Rica.

Hello Rank Squad! We're back with our final show from within the 2026 World Cup, looking ahead to the final on Sunday between Spain and Argentina. We take each team individually, reflecting on their performances in their semi-finals and the games leading up to them, discuss how we think this battle might play out, and give some predictions for good measure.

Hello Ultras! There are just eight teams remaining in this World Cup, so with that, there are some teams that are going to be deeply disappointed in their performances - either over the tournament as a whole, or in an individual game performance that saw them eliminated from the competition. We take a look through what we believe to be some of the biggest letdowns of this World Cup up to this point. Before that, we discuss Argentina's dramatic and controversial comeback win over Egypt, where we lean on friend of the podcast Usef for his views from an Egyptian perspective, and break down what happened in Atlanta.

Hello Rank Squad! Welcome back to another World Cup episode of the show, where we take a look back at the Round of 32. First we say a fond farewell to some of our favourite teams of this tournament, notably Cape Verde after their incredible performance against Argentina, as well as Cote d'Ivoire, and a youthful Australia who surpassed many expectations. In Part Two, we examine the two pre-tournament favourites in Spain and France, and see if they still sit in those positions in the pantheon, as well as trying to work out who would fill the other podium spot for the time being. And then in Part Three, we take a look at the other two hosts in Mexico and Canada, examine where expectations lie for them, and also see if there are any dark horses left in the World Cup.

Hello Rank Squad! We decided, given the schedule is a bit mad these days, to try and bring some shorter fun to life here on Ranks FC. Now, we know that the vast majority of our listeners are in the US & England; so we thought that the day after both sides qualified for the Round of 16 - the USMNT with a 2-0 win over Bosnia & Herzogovina, and England with a 2-1 win over DR Congo - that we would take a bit of a deeper dive into these two sides. We take a look at the good, the bad, and the question marks hanging over both as they face up to their toughest tests yet in the Last 16, as well as just feeling our way through where both sit within the wider pantheon.

Hello Rank Squad! Now that the second round of games is done and dusted, we're back to examine what we've seen - from both a team and an individual perspective. We start with some of the risers and fallers in the World Cup stakes, examining which countries' stocks have fallen and risen; before turning our attention to the players who have put their own names up in lights ahead of what will undoubtedly be a busy summer of transfer activity.
