    If WWE did World Cup Finals: Episode 3

    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.
