Summary
It was epic at the Azteca - possibly the game of the tournament. Jimbo, Tom Williams, Felipe Cardenas and Daniel Storey take in an incredible Day 25 at the World Cup from poolside in LA. In a match that had everything, 10-man England become the first nation ever to beat Mexico in Mexico at the World Cup. Was it a defining night for Thomas Tuchel’s team? Up next for the Three Lions in the quarter-finals - it’s Norway! They overcame Brazil thanks to a stunning late Erling Haaland double. Can he be stopped? And what’s happened to Brazil? The day began with the stunning news that Folarin Balogun had been cleared to play for the USA against Belgium despite his red card against Bosnia, after President Trump asks for the ban to be reviewed. Does this intervention tarnish the tournament? Plus the return of Martin Sleipnes…and the skunk! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
