In today's pod, Earle and Mustoe discuss an opportunity lost in England's defeat to Croatia. The guys lament England's drop off after the early goal before applauding another impressive gut-check victory from Modric, Perisic, Rakitic & Co. Then, the guys breakdown France's controlled victory over Belgium and preview Sunday's Final. Lastly, Rob and Rob are reminded that the Premier League kicks off in less than one month with some breaking news on Chelsea and Antonio Conte!

The semi-final may have been a game too far for England but what a journey it’s been. Gareth the Lionheart’s young team fell short but gave us memories that we’ll cherish forever. Knighthoods for all! We look back over England’s tournament with fondness, surprise and a little bit of curiosity about what could have been. That’s more like it. We also discuss the irrelevances that are the third place play-off and the final.

Sorrow, heartbreak, dismay. Three abstract concepts that Croatian fans are definitely not experiencing on Day 23 of the World Cup. It's curtains for England, and the Tifo team gather to discuss the second semi-final & England's performance weighted against an impressive and, ultimately, superior Croatia team. Also: How might Croatia shape up against France? And another word on Raheem Sterling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well, here we are in uncharted Football Ramble territory, as England prepare for a World Cup semi-final with Croatia. We steel ourselves for the game by way of adventures with Keith Allen in Screw Fix, reminiscence of tournaments past and the fev-o-meter going into overdrive. Alongside that we look over an impressive, surgical win from France, enjoy a dig from Fabio Capello and learn to ‘drink more responsibility’. Needless to say, Cristiano has the last laugh.
