Tuchel Keeps Proving Doubters Wrong - Rio Picks World Cup Dream Team

It’s time for Joel and Ste to head back after a month in LA with Airbnb so the trio settle down in the outdoor pool to review the tournament so far including how resolute and impressive Thomas Tuchel has been considering the questions and doubts about his squad selection. Joel turns the tables on Rio and gets him to pick his tournament 5 a side team… wait for the caveats! Ste and Rio discuss the tactical trends that may make their way back to the Premier League after the World Cup and then pick three players to splurge £300m on as if they were in charge of their clubs. The trio also reminisce about the favourite moments of the trip away from the football including the ability of Ste and Rio to embrace the horse-riding experience in comparison to Joel. #WorldCup2026 #WorldCup #FIFAWorldCup #ThreeLions #England #KnockoutStage #ThomasTuchel #TuchelBall #JudeBellingham #HarryKane #ErlingHaaland #LionelMessi #Messi #Rodri #BradleyBarcola #AurelienTchouameni #TacticalAnalysis #FiveAside #TransferWindow #PremierLeague #PL #RioFerdinand #FIVE #FootballPodcast #BehindTheScenes #Malibu #HorsebackRiding #LosAngeles #LA #AirbnbLife #PoolsideDebrief 00:00 Intro: The Final LA Show & Speatacular Airbnb Luxury 01:15 Malibu Ranch Memories: Ste’s Cowboy Kit & crossbar Paddock Challenges 02:14 Superstars Stepping Up: How Expanded Tournaments Unlocked the World Cup Bullies 03:06 Squad Let Downs: Deconstructing Portugal's Underperformance & Yamal’s Best Outing 03:36 The Extinction of Jogo Bonito: Evaluating Brazil’s Decadelong Decline 04:05 Underdog Magic: How Cape Verde and Egypt Scared the Giants 04:58 Congolese Football Education: Welcoming DR Congo Back After 52 Years 05:15 Crackers World Cup Highlights: Nominating the Tournament's Best Goals and Kits 06:40 Over the Press: Sensible Direct Tactics Creeping Back into the Premier League 07:40 rest Defense & Overloads: Analyzing the 1v1 Outliers of France and Spain 09:06 Rubbish Penalty Step-Ups: Frustrations over the Hazy 10% Runup Misses 09:56 Five-Aside Draft: Picking the Unprecedented Rodri, Bellingham, Messi, and Haaland Lineup 12:51 300 Million Shopping Bags: Realistically Signing the Best Breakout Talents 14:41 Step Up over Reputations: Why Ez, Barcola, and Conza Outshine the Hype 16:33 By Hook or by Crook: Hardship, Experience, and Cruising Through the Quarterfinals 17:33 Shutting the Critics Up: Pushing Tuchel to Throw Beer in the Post-Match Presser 18:24 Outro: Heading to New York with Airbnb & Final LA Sign-Off Subscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WE Rio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.com Rio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeets Rio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficial Rio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5
