Talking Tactics discuss the second week of the World Cup, starting with Video Assistant Refereeing (VAR). Mainly: Will VAR ruin football as we know it, and if so, is attempting perfection worth that price? After VAR we go through the groups and talk about Egypt crashing out, Quaresma’s trivela, is Mbappe better than 19-year-old Messi? Are Brazil ready for Germany? Son's military service, Kroos’ clutch winner vs. Sweden, England and Belgium dismantling Group G, and Lewandowski being in Have Hope’s Brick Academy, amongst a host of other things from each group.
