## Resource

The round of 32 is underway, so Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Canada’s win over South Africa in Los Angeles, to be the first side to progress to the round of 16 this year. They then chat a bit about a few more of the final group games, before moving onto some thoughts on England, the performances and the discourse around the side, despite Thomas Tuchel’s side finishing top of the group (17:49). Finally, there’s a bit of a look forward to some of the other round of 32 games (32:07) and more. Finally, another reminder to come and see us live in London on July 23rd, at the Southbank Centre, with special guest Nish Kumar! Tickets are available here .
