That Peter Crouch Podcast

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom are given unprecedented access inside England's World Cup training camp as they go behind the scenes with Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of a huge quarter-final against Norway. After England's unforgettable victory over Mexico, the lads witness first-hand the togetherness that's driving this squad, with Peter receiving an emotional England Legacy Cap presented by Harry Kane in front of the entire team.

Pete also chats with Harry Kane to relive the incredible night at the Azteca, discussing the celebrations, the emotional Wonderwall moments with England fans, the challenges of tournament life, and why this squad feels different to any England team before it. The captain opens up about the adrenaline of knockout football, family life during the World Cup and what it really feels like to carry the hopes of a nation.

The boys are then joined by Dan Burn and Morgan Rogers, who reveal what life is really like inside England's camp. They discuss the unforgettable atmosphere inside the Azteca, what it's like waiting for your chance in tournament football, the incredible togetherness within the squad, and why every player—whether they start or come off the bench—has such an important role to play. The pair also lift the lid on life away from the pitch, from games of Traitors, golf and basketball to the debates and laughs that have helped make England's training base feel like a home away from home.

There's plenty of classic TPCP nonsense too, as the production team set Pete, Sids and Tom a brutal all-you-can-eat sandwich buffet challenge, before another Paddy Power Predictions League update, plenty of laughs from inside England HQ, and an emotional farewell (for now) to Tom as he heads back to the UK after an unforgettable month on the road with the boys.

On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete joins the lads live from Mexico City after witnessing one of England's greatest ever World Cup victories, as Thomas Tuchel's side produce a heroic performance to beat hosts Mexico and book their place in the quarter-finals. Fresh from celebrating on the pitch with Harry Kane, Pete relives the incredible atmosphere inside the iconic Azteca Stadium, the emotional scenes after full-time, and explains how he nearly had his own "Salt Bae" moment during England's celebrations.
The boys break down England's unforgettable victory, discussing Jude Bellingham's world-class performance, Harry Kane's relentless brilliance in front of goal, Jordan Pickford's commanding display and Anthony Gordon's game-changing impact. They debate whether this was England's greatest tournament performance in years, why this result could define their World Cup campaign, and look ahead to a huge quarter-final clash with Norway.

Former England defender Jolyon Lescott then joins the pod for an in-depth conversation about life inside the England setup. Jolyon shares behind-the-scenes insight from coaching England's Under-21s, explains why Jude Bellingham is built for the biggest occasions, reveals the mentality that makes Harry Kane one of the world's best finishers, discusses Anthony Gordon's professionalism, Morgan Rogers' rise to the top, and gives his verdict on England's defensive options heading into the business end of the tournament.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Tom are joined by Republic of Ireland legend Robbie Keane for an unforgettable conversation covering one of football's greatest careers, life in America, and the magic of the World Cup.

Robbie reflects on his incredible journey from Wolves to Coventry, Inter Milan, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and LA Galaxy, revealing the lessons he learned from some of football's biggest names including David Beckham, Teddy Sheringham, Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modrić. He explains why movement—not pace—made him one of the Premier League's deadliest strikers, shares the mentality that transformed LA Galaxy into champions, and reveals why Tottenham have struggled to build on their success despite winning the Europa League.

The lads also dive into Robbie's unforgettable Republic of Ireland career, including his iconic last-minute World Cup goal against Germany, what it feels like to score on football's biggest stage, and why representing Ireland always meant more than anything else. Robbie also gives his verdict on the current World Cup, predicts the Golden Boot winner, explains why Lionel Messi still amazes him, and reveals which team he'd most like to play for in the tournament.

Elsewhere, Pete, Sids and Tom discuss the drama of the knockout stages, the most chaotic penalty shootouts of the tournament so far, England's chances of lifting the trophy, and another round of the Paddy Power Big World Cup Fixture before Tom puts everyone to the test with another brilliantly ridiculous quiz.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Tom Fordyce and Sids react to England making it through the World Cup group stages and look ahead to the knockout rounds.

The lads discuss where England sit among the tournament favourites, whether stronger opposition might actually suit them better, and why Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane could still have a major role to play as the tournament opens up.

There is also plenty of classic nonsense along the way. Sids talks through his unexpectedly therapeutic trip to an LA laundrette, Tom reveals how he accidentally got into a swimming pool on a senior citizen discount, and the lads lose themselves in an obscure 90s footballer rabbit hole before attempting their best David Beckham eyebrow impressions.

The boys are then joined by Aston Villa legend and former Colombia international Juan Pablo Ángel. Pablo reflects on arriving at Villa from River Plate, landing in England without speaking the language, being unveiled at Villa Park before the move was even fully signed, and adapting to the speed, pressure and culture of the Premier League. He also opens up on growing up in Medellín, learning football on the streets, the intensity of Boca Juniors vs River Plate, representing Colombia, scoring against Brazil and Argentina, and why MLS is far more competitive than many people realise.

The lads also return for another round of Paddy Power Chaos Cards, reviewing the latest leaderboard after LeBron James' unlikely contribution, before making their predictions for the next round of World Cup action. With bonus points on the line and bragging rights at stake, there's no shortage of confidence, controversy and classic TPCP chaos.
