After a remarkable World Cup final the team gather to talk about Messi, Mbappe, the art of penalties, the Ref, dislike of GOAT and recency bias! All this and more!
The guys share their views on the semi-finals including the penalty that appeared to be an easy call but was it? The joy of Messi, the neatness of France and the addition of Super Ally all discussed
The last four have been decided and the guys look back at three great and one less so games. Should we bring back the golden goal? Should substitutes stay seated? while, Argentina/Netherlands got heated and where does the fault lie for England - the Manager or the Squad?
The guys look back at the games of the last 16 - how important good management is, which teams are improving, why Spain went out and how to take penalties! After a diversion to look at the way which VAR is being used and some punditry gaffes, a comprehensive look ahead to four cracking QF ties
The team review the final group games, talk about the shocks and go into to some highly dodgy VAR calls. How do teams defend against better teams? Can managers change their style? And while admitting England can win this, Jordan Henderson being called by some as one of the worst to play for England is debunked.
2 games down for each of the 32 teams, with one remaining the team look back on the action so far, some dodgy VAR, strikers claiming goals, Souness assessment of England and then look at the final round of matches. With only a handful of teams through and only a handful out so much to play for.
