## Resource

England's World Cup opener against Croatia is just a matter of hours away but it's all quiet in the England camp... calm before the storm or a very good sign for Thomas Tuchel? Bellingham v Rogers has dominated the pre-match line-up debates but why not both? Gabby, Mark & Nedum Onuoha also reflect on Scottish pride, an electric performance from hosts USA & how Team Australia are fighting back against anti-immigration sentiment back home. Plus, is it really hot enough for these 'hydration breaks' or are they a FIFA cash-grab in disguise? Chappers is fed up with celebs in stadiums and Gabby manages to get in a fight with Michael Bublé - this World Cup really has it all. 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Producer: George Sexton-Kerr Video Producer: Samuel Trudgill Social Media Editor: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!
