The guys also discuss Weston McKennie's potential move to FC Cincinnati, the bizarre prayer that was said ahead of Argentina vs. Canada, and recap the weekend's action from Euro 2024.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Sasha Goryunov into the studio on Day 4 of the World Cup. The less said about Morocco versus Croatia the better but after that there were some amazing games. Japan pegged back 2014 world champions Germany to produce the biggest shock of the tournament… had Saudi Arabia not beaten Argentina. The German players showed that a protest is actually possible at this World Cup with hands over their mouths and rainbows on their laces. Spain smacked Costa Rica for seven. Is this just a lovely day out for La Roja or the start of something more? Canada somehow lost to a Belgium side that have aged… And we look ahead to Thursday’s action as Jose Delgado talks to us about the prospects for Portugal against Ghana. Produced by Steve Hankey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
