Speaker A
These are just three of 10 World Cup products I'm going to be testing today with Erling Haaland.
Speaker A
Hi guys. Our only goal is to decide which World Cup product is the best. Starting with this $1 World Cup map. Who's going to be in the final?
Speaker A
Do you pick one from each side? Is it? I've never been in the World Cup. I wasn't even born when Noi was in fair.
Speaker A
I would guess I would take France. Yeah. To go to the final. You want to write it in?
Speaker A
I'm left-handed and I can barely write because I haven't been in school in 10 years.
Speaker A
France. And I'd like to go with Spain or Portugal, but I'd go with Spain.
Speaker A
Spain. Not Portugal. Not Ronaldo's year. That's what I mean. I think Portugal will go far because I think they've got a great team. You know, they got amazing players.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, France and Spain. We're having Spain. Well, that's who you picked. Let's have Spain.
Speaker A
Circle who you think will win. France. I go for France. Have you seen their team?
Speaker A
Yeah, they're third team. Look at the players. That is not going to go to World Cup. It is ridiculous.
Speaker A
Insane. Where are we putting this as a product on our leaderboard? The $1 product. The cheapest product of all the products.
Speaker A
I think it should be in the middle. It's a nice thing, but it's not like a special thing.
Speaker A
Somewhere like six or seven, maybe. Yeah. Like, yeah. Go seven. Seven. I'd go with seven. Yeah.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, it's not that good. You're kind of putting that—No, I mean it's all right, but it's like I expect better things. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker A
Well, this is the cheapest. And whichever product Haaland puts in first place, he's going to sign and we're going to give it away to someone who subscribes to my channel and his channel. Next up, this World Cup glass
Speaker A
that costs $9.99. Do you think it looks like the World Cup? Um, I think it depends a bit on what you put in the glass. If you put in a Budweiser, I think it will be—Oh, funny you should say that.
Speaker A
You pour it in. Yeah. How do you pour in? Let's see who pours a better one.
Speaker A
I don't think I'm the best beer pourer. Let's go for it. Do you ever have a beer?
Speaker A
Not before the World Cup, but I reckon after I will have one. Yeah. Celebratory one.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, you should have foam or not in this. I think you're meant to have a small head.
Speaker A
Small head. I think a little bit. So, do I think it looks more like a World Cup now?
Speaker A
I tell you what. Do you know what? It's kind of fun for World Cup.
Speaker A
I tell you what, I'd buy this. You would buy it? If I watch the World Cup, I'd buy a glass like that.
Speaker A
I do agree. I think if you're sitting at home, World Cup's on, having a few beers, like that's fun.
Speaker A
I think this is great. Will I taste it for us? You taste and let me know what you think.
Speaker A
Yeah, it tastes good out of this glass. Yeah. So then I think we need to rate it quite highly.
Speaker A
I think this is a high one. Yeah. And $9.99. Right. Let's stick it on the board.
Speaker A
I reckon this is high. You know, that's a great glass. You can use it every day throughout the whole summer.
Speaker A
If you won the World Cup, you could just use it every day. Yeah. If I win the World Cup, I'll buy one of them and I'll have it for the rest of my life.
Speaker A
That's a big statement. I mean, okay. All right. So, pretty good. Yeah. Where we going?
Speaker A
I reckon I would put it in a three or what? Yeah, I think three is good. I think high enough, but we don't want to give away one yet.
Speaker A
Cheers to number three. Cheers. Next up, the Monopoly FIFA World Cup trading game. Right. So, first up, we've got all these web bits. So, I think these are the cards.
Speaker A
Yeah, we've got a few different ones. Rules. What do you think of these? Want to have a go with them?
Speaker A
Just footballs in it. Seem better. Seemed better. Yeah, I mean football. They could have been more creative, I think. See what's in the starter pack.
Speaker A
Oh, they're cards. Oh, we open. Yeah. Yeah. I thought—So, this—So, how does it work though?
Speaker A
So, this is a starter pack with a load of players and you've just opened. Okay.
Speaker A
They're actually quite—Now we're talking Del Piero. Del Piero. Right. Let's look at yours. They're better.
Speaker A
Harry Kane. Harry Kane. Pic, Captain America, Christine, Lily. So that's your pack. Whoever gets the best pack gets to decide the rating. So let's see who's your best. Who's your best player?
Speaker A
So my best. So I've got Pulisic, Harry Kane, Del Piero, Lily. Got to go with Kane though.
Speaker A
Kane. Yeah. All right. So I need to beat Harry Kane. You need to beat Harry Kane. Yeah.
Speaker A
Right. Rey. That's not easy. That—I win. I win. I got a Messi. Yeah, I think.
Speaker A
Yeah, you're winning that one. Yeah, I win that one. Hard luck. Truthfully, I think Monopoly is a really, really great game and I think this is messing too much with the fundamentals.
Speaker A
Keep it simple. Keep it to Monopoly. And you should have been on the board.
Speaker A
I agree. I actually think it's definitely down here. I don't know if I want to leave 10 open for something really bad.
Speaker A
I agree. We're putting nine. Yeah, I ain't going nine. I agree. I think it's a bit too much.
Speaker A
Overcomplicates it a little bit. It's not Monopoly. And Monopoly is amazing. Next up, we've got some shoes that apparently alter your mind. These are mind-altering shoes. I've seen you wear these.
Speaker A
Yeah. First of all, I like the looks. I think they look nice.
Speaker A
I think they look too cool for me. Yeah. Oh, okay. I know what you mean.
Speaker A
You're about to say, "No, John, you're cool enough." Um, I'll try them on and then you decide. I think they look nice. I think they look good and I think they're really comfortable as well.
Speaker A
Kick these off. Let's give this a crack. Now, let's see. Do you know what?
Speaker A
What are they laughing for? Let me see. Come on. Walk a bit. If we were to review these, what are we saying?
Speaker A
Well, do you think they're comfortable? They are comfortable. I'll give them that. They're very comfortable. This isn't the position I thought I'd find myself in today.
Speaker A
I think they look good on me. Great. Okay. So, if you were wearing these, how are we ranking them?
Speaker A
I think they look sick. I think these are really nice. They're comfortable. I think they look good.
Speaker A
Well, all the biggest players at the World Cup are going to be wearing them.
Speaker A
So, let's go with five. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. This costs $80. $80. Yeah. $80 for three teddies that are no bigger than your hand. Really?
Speaker A
Clutch number 10. Maple number one. Zu number nine. American. Okay. Eagle. Canadian moose. Yeah. With maple syrup in the back.
Speaker A
Maple. And then Zu. That must be a tiger. No. Is that not a leopard? Tiger. What tiger are you looking at?
Speaker A
No, not tiger. I mean, no, that's a leopard, isn't it? Leopard. Yeah. Leopard. Oh, what's that?
Speaker A
Does Mexico have leopards? Leopard. Yeah, your accent is a little bit difficult. Go back on that. What would you call this animal?
Speaker A
Leopard. Leopard. Leopard. Leopard. It is absolutely a leopard. It's a leopard. Yeah. Yeah, it's not. I agree.
Speaker A
So, they're probably about like 26, 27 dollars each. That's inflation. I think that's a lot of money for three teddies.
Speaker A
No, it's way too much. Yeah, I think they're well made. I think for dogs it'd be good because they're quite rough.
Speaker A
Chew toy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. Which one's your favorite? I like the maple one, you know.
Speaker A
Yeah, the moose. I like the leopard. That was good then. You like that? Where are we going to rank this product?
Speaker A
I reckon it's the inflation that takes us here. It's a bit too expensive. I think great teddies, but I think it's too expensive.
Speaker A
So, I'd go down. I'd go a—I'd say in the 10. I reckon it should be an eight.
Speaker A
Okay. Eight. Yeah. On the board. Yeah. Eight for $80, which is too much. Way too much.
Speaker A
Next up, the Norway World Cup jersey. I like them. I genuinely like them. I love the all-black one. I think it's really cool.
Speaker A
It will be black shorts and black socks as well. It
Speaker A
Can we try them on? I'm going to definitely try this on. Yeah, I think it's sick.
Speaker A
Is this one of your favorite Norway jerseys there? I think it's nice, but I think the one we had before was just unbelievable.
Speaker A
Oh, you fell in love with it. It was so nice. So, it's difficult to kind of Yeah.
Speaker A
when you're up here, go even more, but it's really good. We go look at some of the other jerseys.
Speaker A
Do you like any of these? Do you think any of these are Yeah, I like many of them.
Speaker A
Yeah. Are there any you particularly like? Any you don't like? Any comments? We've got France.
Speaker A
I like the the chicken. The chicken. The logo. I like the color. Yeah. On it. I think that looks nice.
Speaker A
That is nice. Turkey got they've got their flag front and center, don't they? That is so clean.
Speaker A
Yeah. I think that looks top here. Portugal always has good jersey. I feel like every year you just with like the verun a bit, you know, the dark red color is just always nice.
Speaker A
This one I think is the probably most out there one so far. That is interesting. That same colors as you. I think yours is nicer.
Speaker A
Yeah, I would already say this is the one I like the least out of all of them because Brazil always nice. Yellow and green. Yeah, you just you can never go wrong. I like this. I think it looks
Speaker A
nice. Nice. Sweet design. Then obviously England. England also looks sick. I've got plenty of them.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. When I was young. Okay. World Cup jerseys as a whole this year. Where do they rank? Is it a good year for World Cup jerseys?
Speaker A
I think it's I think it's up. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's really good. Even Even now when I see I see the Turkey one is really nice. The Brazil one is always nice. You got plenty which is nice.
Speaker A
So we're looking at like two or four. Yeah. We're not having two. Okay. Yeah. We're going four. four.
Speaker A
They are good. A good year of jerseys. The World Cup ball. You're going to score lots of goals with this hopefully.
Speaker A
Do you like this this World Cup ball? World Cup balls are always somewhat iconic, aren't they? Major tournaments.
Speaker A
It is. I mean, I remember the jabalani jubo jabalani. Knuckle balled one of them before.
Speaker A
I I did. I bought it. And yeah, went like that. I mean, it's a nice ball. I don't think it's a top ball. If you aim for the jabalani, this goes right down, you know. But it's a good ball. It's a nice
Speaker A
ball. Where are we rating the World Cup ball? So, what have we got left? One, two. I'd go with the six.
Speaker A
Six. Yeah, six it is. Let's lock it in. These cost $190. I used to have this exact pair of shoes without the England logo and they were a comfortable shoe.
Speaker A
Do you like the England logo? Well, I'm not English. Yeah, but that's like we need to be I think I'm not English, but I'm a bit English.
Speaker A
I think for an English person, it's an okay shoe. It's like, would you wear an Irish shoe? Would you wear a green shoe?
Speaker A
Yeah, I've got green shoes at home. I'm going to buy you some Ireland shoes if I don't see them in your Instagram.
Speaker A
There's trouble. I tell you what, this is Well, you've got two. It's not one. It's not one. I can't see these go to number two. I'm sorry. They're not number one.
Speaker A
They can't be number two. They have to go 10. I'm sorry. I mean, you're Irish, so I'm overruling you on that one.
Speaker A
I know you kind of like them. No, I like the logo. I mean, I'm I'm I feel a bit English. Do you know what I mean? So, well, you were born in England. There we go. But I'm sorry.
Speaker A
Till we die. a game. What do you think? What do I think? Very green. Talk me through this. What is that?
Speaker A
So, we got a few different things in this tool box. Harness your hall. You can kind of um think yourself towards that. So, obviously here we got a Is this how many times you hit tops?
Speaker A
Counter. Yeah. How many times you you bagging? Yeah. You got the target. Cut. Which corner is your favorite?
Speaker A

Different colors. It's the same that I had then. Oh wow. And also I just think they look so nice.
Speaker A
Summer's coming. It's like watermelon vibe. Yeah, it is like a watermelon which is uh unbelievable.
Speaker A
Oh, and it says inside, remember why you started playing football. Exactly. If these aren't number one, the next thing is going number one. and you'll be saying that we'll be giving it away.
Speaker A
They're going to get more expensive as well. Well, I haven't got a clue what number one is. So, me, I'd easily put these number one. But you you also got a voice in here.
Speaker A
