Poch’s players produce an outstanding performance against Paraguay on a fine day for the hosts. Jimbo is joined in LA by Duncan Alexander, Phil Hay and ecstatic American Megan Feringa. USA thrash the South Americans 4-1 in Los Angeles, after what many call the best half in their World Cup history. It’s a good day for Jesse Marsch’s Canada who claim their first ever World Cup point, battling back from behind to draw with Bosnia. On Saturday, it’s the turn of Scotland to see if they can go a long way to progressing from the group stage for the first time ever with a victory over Haiti And Natalie Gedra joins us to preview Brazil’s opener with Morocco. Plus snakes in Switzerland and England's balls get stolen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
