## Resource

19 goals on Day 4 of the World Cup as Germany and Sweden make big statements. Jimbo’s in LA with Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Megan Feringa on a day of big goals and big statements. Germany thrash Curacao 7-1 on their World Cup debut - but was it a performance that actually highlighted Die Mannschaft’s defensive frailty? Sweden didn’t win any of their qualifiers but Graham Potter’s side romped to a 5-1 victory over Tunisia. How far can the Swedes go? Netherlands and Japan play possibly the game of the tournament so far with Samura Blue battling for a 2-2. Ivory Coast end Ecuador’s 19 game unbeaten run with a last-gasp winner from Amad Diallo. We check in on Patrick Beech’s Australia and their heroics from the night before. And Monday’s action begins with Spain taking on debutants Cape Verde. Pol Ballus joins us as Marc Cucurella heads to Real Madrid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
