Ep 270: FIFA's Tomfoolery at the 2026 Men's World Cup Draw
Burn It All Down has returned to torch everything that is FIFA, including whatever that draw ceremony was for the upcoming men’s World Cup, Infantino deciding to award Trump a “peace prize,” and fears about what this World Cup will be like with much of it taking place in the United States. Shireen, Lindsay, Amira, Brenda, and Jessica then throw things on the burn pile and wrap everything up with some deserving torchbearers. And we have an update (sort of) on the future of the show.
