## Resource

Well well well! The fallout of an extraordinary week in world football! With the USA 'soccer' team having their talisman Folarin Balogun originally set to miss his side's last-16 tie against Belgium after being shown a straight red card for a foul on Bosnia-Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic - Donald Trump declared to the world that he spoke to FIFA's top brass and asked to get it overturned. Listen to George Hamilton and what he thought of the who thing! With Brazil, Portugal, The Netherlands and Germany all on the plane back home - it going to be quite the finish to what is supposed to be 'the Greatest Show on Earth!'. The lads also talk about how their predictions have been going, how England and Norway will play out and of course a World Cup podcast would not be a World Cup podcast with a little bit more love for Pico Lopez!
