We discuss an incredible night for South Korea and Cristiano Ronaldo’s great generosity – plus the happiest man to ever be sent off in a World Cup, a very teary Luis Suárez and a very punchy Edison Cavani. We also find out how FIFA are well-prepared to make sure the group stage format is never this good again. Pete’s Film Club is back!
