Summary

England survived weather delays, altitude, the home fans, a red card, a penalty and their own history to overcome Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca and go through to a World Cup QF against Norway. It will be Norway's first ever World Cup QF with Haaland bossing the Brazil defence, scoring two goals and cementing his status as one of the greats. We chat to Ken in NYC and Lars in Dallas about an epic night of football and Trump lobbying FIFA to lift the USMNT striker Folarin Balogun’s ban for a red card. Plus there's Neymar's tears, angry Shearer and Taylor's type. Click the player at the top of the page to play the show. Monday’s shows are free to all.
