Loading player...
In this edition of BBK Unplugged, former Chelsea and England captain John Terry joins the podcast to discuss England's hopes at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Terry explains why he believes Jude Bellingham is England's answer to Zinedine Zidane and how the Real Madrid midfielder could be the player to help end the Three Lions' 60-year wait for World Cup glory.
The former defender also shares his thoughts on Omar Abdulkadir Artan, regarded as Africa's leading referee, whose World Cup dream ended after he was denied entry to the United States. Terry reflects on the impact of the decision and discusses the prospects of Africa's representatives at the tournament.
The conversation also covers Thomas Tuchel's squad selections, the omission of several high-profile players, and why Terry believes France have the quality and depth to win a third World Cup title after their triumphs in 1998 and 2018.
