With the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, Bailiwick’s World Cup Podcast returns with a special tournament preview featuring Jersey Bulls players Jamie Watling, Toby Ritzema and Jersey Wanderers’ Max Corbett.
The trio join sports reporter Archie Corbett for Episode 2 to look ahead to football’s biggest event, discussing England’s chances, tournament favourites, potential dark horses and the players they believe could define the competition.
The panel also debate the impact of the new 48-team format, the challenges of a tournament hosted across three nations, and make a series of predictions for the weeks ahead, including the World Cup winner, Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament.
The lads also have their World Cup knowledge put to the test with a number of tournament related quiz questions.
With strong opinions, a few disagreements and several bold predictions, the episode provides a light-hearted but insightful preview of what promises to be one of the most unique World Cups in history.
The preview show follows Bailiwick’s opening episode with former England goalkeeper Joe Hart and forms part of a wider World Cup content series that will run throughout the tournament.
Listeners can expect regular reaction podcasts, analysis, predictions and appearances from local football personalities as Bailiwick brings extensive coverage of football’s biggest spectacle to audiences across the Channel Islands.
