The Seleção Podcast: World Cup 2026 already within view

In Episode 105, host Danny Pinto is joined by Matthew Marshall of PortuGOAL.net, who was in attendance covering both Seleção victories in Armenia and Hungary to kick off World Cup qualification for Portugal.

Danny and Matthew covered a variety of topics in this episode:

  • Portugal’s ability to come back and win multiple matches under Roberto Martínez (3 of their last 4 wins have been comebacks)
  • the reintegration of the Joãos: Cancelo and Félix
  • Martínez continuing to tinker with the starting XI
  • the perceived lack of pressure and joy CR7 seems to be playing with now as Portugal captain

Matthew also gives his thoughts on FPF President Pedro Proença, the U17 and U21 programmes for Portugal, and also shares the latest regarding his mission of attending matches in as many Portuguese stadiums as humanly possible all over Portugal, Azores.
