Whew, what a day of World Cup football! Marcus, Lars and Pete bounce into the studio after Vincent Aboubakar and Serbia’s mad defensive line make a very entertaining combination and Jordan Ayew whips down the South Koreans. Elsewhere, we take a trip to Richarlison’s island which may or may not be owned by Sven, Cristiano Ronaldo and Piers Morgan call upon the Hair of God, and Marcus gets very confused by the Far Cry video game franchise.

We're back with another packed show of Canadian national team and World Cup chat.After the promise and excitement of the Belgium game and the raised expectations that came with that excellent performance, Canada crashed and burned at the World Cup in their second match against Croatia and have been eliminated with one group game remaining.There's a lot to be proud of from a team that wasn't supposed to be in Qatar, rose in the rankings at a phenomenal pace, and ignited a whole new interest in and respect for the Canadian men's national team. They deserved to be there and they showed they belonged, performing tremendously in three of the four halves of football they've played so far. But there's also rightful criticism that can be levelled at the team for their team selection, tactics, and questionable off field decisions.We delve into all of that and a lot more and pose the question, what now for Canada? Not just in their one remaining match in Qatar but as they move forward and build, both on and off the pitch, heading into 2026.Plus we look back at all of the action so far in Qatar as the second round of group games come to a close and chat about some of the main talking points making the headlines.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.30: Intro04.05: Canada eliminated after Croatia loss29.43: Supporter and media postgame takes47.52: What now for Canada now and heading into 2026?71.35: The 2022 World Cup - Groups A and B recaps84.35: Wavelength - Kunt and the Gang - Let's Have A Wank For England89.40: The 2022 World Cup - Groups C, D, and E recaps102.00: The 2022 World Cup - Groups G and H recaps

Jimbo, Sasha Goryunov and Duncan Alexander gather to summarise Day 9 of the World Cup. We had two contenders for game of the tournament on the same day! Cameroon took the lead against Serbia but the Serbs scored three in succession to lead 3-1 only for Cameroon to drag it back to 3-3. The result probably means both sides are out but Vincent Aboubakar did score a lovely lob. Ghana looked like they were sailing to victory with a 2-0 lead over South Korea heading into half time. Then two goals in three second half minutes saw South Korea level before Mohammed Kudus scored his second, Ghana’s third, and secure what could be a massive three points in Group H. Massive because Portugal’s win over Uruguay sees the Portuguese qualify and leaves Ghana in pole position to follow them through. Plus we look ahead to the biggest game at the tournament tomorrow… Iran vs USA. Bassil Mikdadi gives us the Iranian perspective on their winner takes all game. And The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal gives us the perspective from the American side. Produced by Charlie Jones & Steve Hankey Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
