Summary
Jimbo has a stellar cast of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Colin Millar and Matt Davies-Adams to react to the World Cup play-off semi-finals. It’s a heartbreaking night for the home nations with Wales and the Republic of Ireland eliminated on penalties. And a brave young Northern Ireland side are beaten 2-0 in Bergamo by Italy. Are the Azzurri finally set to qualify for another World Cup? Jack Lang’s in Mexico to tell us about the inter-confederation play-offs, where he watched Jamaica edge past New Caledonia to set up a final against DR Congo. And the big domestic news is that Mo Salah will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Should we all be a bit more moved?
