Summary
Three red cards, five goals across two matches, and a goose wearing a Mexico shirt. Ladies and gents, we've got our World Cup back.
Marcus, Pete & Vish discuss the opening games of the tournament, preceded by a bizarre collaboration between Andrea Bocelli and K-Pop Demon Hunters singer Ejae. Plus, Vish is baffled by the very concept of an axolotl, Marcus still gets his TVs from Comet, and "big swinging” Dick Advocaat gets his boys onboard a cranky school bus.
