The World Cup Of

Alright Fans, Crazy Ginger Cabbie and The Factory London

Welcome to The World Cup Of - the weekly showdown filmed at The Factory London where absolutely anything can be turned into a World Cup. Crisps, films, footballers, chocolate bars… if it can be debated, it can be ranked. Hosted by Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie, this is where passion meets nonsense in equal measure. Expect bold opinions, dodgy decisions, heated arguments, and the occasional moment of genius. New episodes every week. World Cups. Of everything. One a week. (And sometimes other stuff.) Full tournaments now available through Spotify subscriptions at £6.99 per month.

  1. The World Cup of Pundits (Groups A–D)

    25 Jun

    The World Cup of Pundits (Groups A–D)

    The World Cup of Pundits gets underway with Groups A–D, as some of football's biggest broadcasters battle it out for a place in the knockout stages. From Lee Dixon, Alan Shearer, Joe Cole and Gary Neville to Gary Lineker, Jamie Carragher, Karen Carney, Roy Keane, Chris Kamara, Emma Hayes and many more, this opening round is packed with some of the biggest names ever to analyse the beautiful game. Some are tactical masterminds. Some are natural entertainers. Some divide opinion every weekend. And some have become just as famous for what they say in the studio as what they achieved on the pitch. As always, the judging criteria is deliberately loose. Insight, entertainment, chemistry, charisma, iconic moments and pure watchability all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress. The tournament starts here... and the debates only get more heated from this point on. Want the full tournament?

  2. The World Cup of National Stereotypes (Groups A–D)

    19 Jun

    The World Cup of National Stereotypes (Groups A–D)

    The World Cup of National Stereotypes gets underway with Groups A–D, as we throw some of the world's most famous national clichés into a tournament and judge them far more seriously than we probably should. From the French, Germans and Dutch to nations with reputations for being tough, friendly, stubborn, relaxed, efficient, loud or completely unpredictable, no stereotype is safe once the draw is made. We'll be looking at the characteristics people instantly associate with different countries, where those perceptions come from, and which nations have somehow ended up with the most recognisable stereotypes of all. As always, this is done firmly in the spirit of humour and observation. No malice, no agenda — just a light-hearted look at the clichés and cultural quirks that people around the world recognise. The criteria is loose — recognisability, entertainment value, cultural impact and pure stereotype strength all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress. This is where the tournament begins — and it only gets more controversial from here. WANT THE FULL TOURNAMENT?

  3. The World Cup of the Letter F (Groups A–D)

    12 Jun

    The World Cup of the Letter F (Groups A–D)

    The World Cup of the Letter F gets underway with Groups A–D, where anything and everything beginning with the letter F is thrown into a tournament and judged far more seriously than it has any right to be. From Feelings and Football Manager to Flame Shirts and Fighting, from the niche brilliance of Foot Golf to the nostalgia of Funfairs, this opening episode is packed with contenders that somehow all belong in the same competition. Some entries are genuinely brilliant. Some are completely ridiculous. And some spark debates that nobody expected when the draw was made. As always, the criteria is loose — cultural impact, nostalgia, usefulness, entertainment value and pure chaos all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress. This is where the tournament begins — and the arguments only get more heated from here.

  4. The World Cup of The USA (Groups A–D)

    4 Jun

    The World Cup of The USA (Groups A–D)

    The World Cup of The USA gets underway with Groups A–D, as we dive headfirst into the people, places, traditions and cultural icons that make America unlike anywhere else on Earth. From cowboys and American women to the never-ending battle between Democrats and Republicans, from legendary sports bars and tailgate parties to iconic landmarks like Mount Rushmore, this opening episode is packed with some of the most recognisable symbols of the United States. We also get into American institutions like Disneyland, Las Vegas, Hollywood, and plenty more contenders that have shaped not just America, but global culture. Some entries represent the very best of the USA. Others represent the absolute madness of it. And as always, once the debates begin, logic quickly takes a back seat. The criteria is loose — cultural impact, recognisability, entertainment value and pure Americana all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress. This is where the tournament begins — and it only gets bigger from here.
