The dem boys are bringing in a special guest this week and we couldn't be more excited — die-hard Albiceleste fan Aldana_arg is in the building and we are going DEEP on Argentina's chances of doing the unthinkable — defending the World Cup title this summer in the USA, Canada and Mexico! 🌎⚽

Only two nations in history have ever defended the World Cup crown — Italy in the 1930s and Brazil in the 1960s — so can Scaloni's Argentina make history and become just the third? Aldana thinks so. The boys aren't so sure. Let the debate begin 👇

🐐 The Messi Question — Messi is back in the squad but is yet to fully confirm his participation in the summer's tournament. At 38 years old, Scaloni will need to be clever in how he manages the legend's minutes. Is this truly his swansong? And how dependent is this Argentina side on one man?

📋 The Squad Breakdown — The experienced core of Emi Martinez, Romero, Lisandro Martinez, De Paul, Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez forms the backbone of this squad and most of them have been here before and won it. But are there any weak links? Aldana gives her honest verdict position by position 🧐

⚡ The Youth Revolution — Nico Paz & Mastantuono — This is where it gets EXCITING. Como's breakout star Nico Paz and Real Madrid's Franco Mastantuono have both been called into the squad alongside Claudio Echeverri of Manchester City as Scaloni looks to blend youth with experience. With major stars like Lautaro Martinez having been sidelined with injury, this is the perfect time for the younger generation to throw some of the spotlight on themselves. Are Paz and Mastantuono ready for the biggest stage in football? Aldana is CONVINCED. The boys give their take 👀

🌍 The Group Stage — Group J — Argentina find themselves in Group J facing Algeria, Austria and Jordan — a manageable draw on paper for the world champions. They open their campaign on June 16th against Algeria in Kansas City, before facing Austria on June 22nd and Jordan on June 27th — both in Dallas. Should be smooth sailing but don't forget — Saudi Arabia shocked this exact Argentina squad in Qatar 2022. No game is a gimme at a World Cup. Can they afford to rotate? And do they use the group stage to bed in Nico Paz and Mastantuono?

🏆 How Far Can They Go? — If Argentina top Group J they play the Round of 16 in Miami — and the potential knockout path could set up some MASSIVE clashes with the likes of Spain, France and Brazil lurking on the other side of the bracket. Aldana says final. The boys give their predictions. Who do YOU think lifts the trophy in New Jersey on July 19th? 🏟️

On today's episode, we break down a match that told you everything you need to know about where Arsenal are right now. City dominated possession, 59–41. Arsenal managed just 8 shots to City's 12, with only 2 on target. Haaland led the line. Rodri bossed the midfield. Donnarumma barely had to work. Was this a tactical failure from Arteta? A squad depth problem? Or are City just still — frustratingly — the better side when it matters? We're getting into all of it. The lineup choices, the half-time sub, the yellow cards piling up, and what this result means for Arsenal's top-four push with four games left. This one hurt. Let's talk about it. . . #DemBoysWatchFooty #Arsenal #ManCity #Wembley #Guardiola #Arteta #Gunners #PremierLeague #Football #Podcast #ArsenalBottledIt #NewEpisode
