Gary Lineker opens the final episode of the 2026 World Cup run with barely concealed glee, noting that Spain became the first team in history to win the tournament without ever going behind — and quietly reminding the room he called it 40 days ago [1] — Gary Lineker "Never trailed in tournament: Spain won the 2026 World Cup without ever going behind in any of their 8 games throughout the entire tournamen…" 00:30 . Micah Richards interjects before Lineker can even finish his opening, claiming he also tipped Spain, leading to a warm argument about credit. Alan Shearer and Joe Cole have just returned from the stadium, describing the chaos of navigating the car park and Alan's growing frustration with the lack of organisation — which Gary attributes to Shearer having become too accustomed to the 'Netflix treatment'. The Argentina fans get a warm tribute: they sang from start to finish, even in defeat, and Micah expresses genuine sympathy for Messi, even if Spain deserved the win by some distance. The crew briefly note they're all dressed up for the occasion — except one member who appears to have missed the memo entirely.
Spain won the 2026 World Cup without ever going behind in any of their 8 games throughout the entire tournament.
Spain won the 2026 World Cup without ever going behind in any of their 8 games — the first team in history to do so. It's not just a trophy; it's a statement of total control across an entire tournament.
