Summary

Day 5 produces one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history as European champions Spain draw 0-0 with tournament debutants Cape Verde. Jimbo has Tom Williams, Megan Feringa and Maher Mezahi for company in LA on a headline-making day. It continues to be a good tournament for Africa and a tricky one for Europe as Belgium end all square with Egypt. The day of draws continued as Saudi Arabia share the spoils with Bielsa's Uruguay, and Iran and New Zealand play out an entertaining 2-2 tie at SoFi. The World Cup finalists from Qatar are in action on Day 6. France with their incredible array of attacking talent take on Senegal. And holders Argentina kick off their campaign against Algeria. Plus it’s time to see what much-fancied Norway are made off as they face Iraq. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
