## Resource

The last 32 at the World Cup is set in stone after Thomas Tuchel’s side top Group L. Jimbo, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams are in LA to examine the action as the group stage concludes. England eventually find a way past Panama, with Bellingham and Kane on the scoresheet. Are we convinced by the Three Lions as they face the Congolese next? Saturday was the day Scotland were officially eliminated from the tournament, with Steve Clarke stepping down as manager as a result. Phil Hay ponders what happens next. There’s an incredible finale in Group J that sees Austria steal a knockout spot at the expense of Iran. And Lionel Messi scores for a record-breaking 7th World Cup game in a row. Plus we look back at the mammoth group stage and pick out our favourite moments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
