TAG Podcast: Road to 2026 resumes + Saudi Arabia's Saleh Al-Shehri

As we approach the business end of Asian Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the third round to commence this week, we're joined by Doha News reporter Sudesh Baniya to preview all three groups.

Can Qatar continue their Asian Cup-winning form? Is this the time Uzbekistan deliver on their potential? How much will playing at home help Iraq? Is a lack of star power hurting Australia?

We answer all those questions and much, much more.

PLUS... we also speak with Saudi Arabian striker Saleh Al-Shehri about the state of the Green Falcons and reminisce about his goal in their magical win over Argentina.
