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? No. But missed opportunity? Only time will tell. 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.

So, there’s no football today. It’s so weird. However, nature abhors a vacuum so we’ve got a podcast full of it anyway. We look back over England and Belgium’s strange, somewhat empty battle for top/second spot, Japan’s self-flagellation regarding their slightly ironic qualification via fair play and bid a fond farewell to some of the characters we’ll miss from a brilliant World Cup group stage. On top of all this we also have an update on the various Marci who are still in the competition, plot England’s route to glory and turn our attention to the last 16.
