Summary
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.
