## Resource

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup odyssey continues but he needed VAR to intervene and ensure Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 in a match packed with incident and drama.  Ronaldo and his team face Spain in the next round after they beat Austria. Tom Clarke is joined by Ian Whittell and Peter Rutzler to discuss both of those matches and hears why Spain should be considered as one of the favourites.  In part two of the show Tom chats to Jonny Northcroft about England's preparations for their game with Mexico and hears why spying fears have altered their travels plans.  Hosted on Acast.
