## Resource

From now on it's knockout football. Who goes through, who goes home? Tom, Gregor and Tony attempt to predict all of the remaining round of 32 ties...and work out who makes it to the final. Spoiler alert is isn't Australia. We take a more detailed look at England and their next opponents DR Congo, take some listeners questions "What is Thomas Tuchel's beef with Trent Alexander Arnold?"  And a quick look back at Argentina, Portugal and Canada beating South Africa. Gregor Robertson and Tony Cascarino join  Tom Clarke back in the studio - find us on YouTube @thetimessport Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
