It’s a crossover episode as Totally migrates to the Tifo studio, with Jimbo, Sasha Goryunov, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie discussing who will lift the World Cup - France or Argentina? Will Deschamps or Scaloni win the tactical battle? Will Mbappe or Messi steal the show? Or will it be all-rounder Julian Alvarez? And when was the last time we got a great World Cup final? Plus why Antoine Griezmann is worth his weight in gold, why we should tune in to Croatia v Morocco and why you should buy Azzedine Ounahi.
