It was really good for a while... and then it wasn't so good... and then it was just flat out bad... and what we were left with was a mentally conflicting 1-1 draw for the USMNT. Disastrous result?

The boys share their thoughts on all of the highs and all of the lows from Monday's match while also discussing England's emphatic debut vs Iran and the Dutch's successful start vs Senegal.

Jimbo welcomes Carl Anka and Tom Williams into the studio on Day 2 of the World Cup, a day that generates as much conversation off the field as on it. England hammer Iran 6-2 with Gareth Southgate throwing caution to the wind with his high full-backs and Bellingham showing why he might be a player that shapes the next decade. But it’s a colossal missed opportunity as England and other European nations back down from their previous stance of wearing the One Love captain’s armband for fear of sanctions from FIFA. Adam Crafton gives us his thoughts from Qatar. Bale’s Wales come from behind to grab a draw against the USA, with Robert Page righting a potential wrong by bringing on Kieffer Moore at half-time. Sneaky good Netherlands sneak a win against Senegal on a very good day for the Gakpo fan club. And we look ahead to Tuesday’s action as Niels Harild tells us about a lot of people’s dark horses - Denmark. Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Moment of the day (02.30) • PART 1b: USA 1-1 Wales (04.30) • PART 2a: England 6-2 Iran (12.00) • PART 2b: Senegal 0-2 Netherlands (18.00) • PART 2c: The armband issue with Adam Crafton (22.00) • PART 3a: A look ahead to Tuesday’s action (39.00) • PART 3b: Danish prospects with Niels Harild (42.00) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR £1 A MONTH FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS • theathletic.com/totally Hosted on Acast.

Suj & James discuss yesterday's announcement of Gareth Southgate's England World Cup Squad and on the whole it's largely a positive reaction with in-form Ben White, James Maddison and Callum Wilson all getting call ups. There are however areas of concern in the wing-back positions with Luke Shaw the only natural left footed defensive player in the squad, concerns around the fitness of players like Kalvin Phillips and overall concerns with the lack of midfield options. Plus, why the team picked for the opener against Iran shouldn't be definitive of what England's best eleven is going to be and whether a back three or four should be favoured in the opening stages of the tournament.

Hoo boy. Feels a little like 2019. Berhalter says we need centerbacks who can hold a high line but we couldn't establish a high line because we couldn't possess the ball in part because one of our centerbacks isn't a good passer. Add in a brutal performance from the midfield and this was a bad one. Mixed zone audio courtesy Sanjay Sujanthakumar.

Arya Allahverdi, who runs the Gol Bezan podcast, joins the pod to discuss an Iranian national team that's had its share of controversy, mostly surrounding the coach, Dragan Skočić, who was sacked and then un-sacked this summer after a poor friendly against Algeria. But Iran has several talented players, particularly in the attack, and Allahverdi thinks they'll come out and play at the World Cup, especially against the U.S. He also gives his preferred starting XI.

We're back with another episode of the AFTN Soccer Show for your listening pleasure, with lots of Canadian national team and Vancouver Whitecaps chat.The sickness bug has left AFTN Towers and we're back with another show. Good job it's been a quiet week in Canadian soccer to ease us back gently...It's not been a great couple of weeks for Canada Soccer. Instead of riding the wave, they've managed to fall into it and have been struggling to keep their heads above water. First there was the debacle around the Iran game, then came the weekend's farce of the cancellation of the match with Panama. No-one has come across well from the whole mess.We delve into all of that, look at what the players are wanting, talk transparency in the stewardship of the game here, and discuss what changes we'd like to see and what we need to see in Canada Soccer.But while that's all been playing out, on the club side, the Whitecaps have hit some form and are climbing the MLS table. They now sit one point back of the playoff places. We look at how they got there in such difficult circumstances and the standout performers that have come up big in recent weeks.Plus music from new artists of the month Thick and Armchair Loyal return in this episode's Wavelength.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:04.00: Canada's Iran and Panama game farces40.51: How the CSB deal is both good and bad54.23: Nick Bontis' press conference disaster64.07: What is public fallout from the mess?71.15: What needs to change in Canadian soccer?92.56: Whitecaps in-form and climbing the table115.25: Wavelength - Armchair Loyal - Career Ending Injury
