Hi, I'm Grant Wall, and welcome to the Planet Football Podcast, World Cup Daily. Day 24 of World Cup 2018 is done.

Brian Strauss and I will be talking about that as part of our podcast coming to you daily from Russia through July 15th.

Just a small request would be a huge help if you subscribe, rate, and review our podcast.

It helps people find us.

In this episode, I'm also joined by

Adolfo Landeros of Fox Sports. Onward.

Let's bring in Brian Strauss from St. Petersburg, you're still alive aren't you man? I'm still alive I'm just

sitting here waiting for the semi-final and you know watched watch the games

today and there was a

a norm do you remember four years ago in Brazil when

Brazil would play and they'd score and we hear

like explosions of some kind right? Yeah.

There'd be gunfire, fireworks, whatever.

Here it's just screaming.

It's just like it's just like Friday the 13th

Jason's coming for you shrieking out of windows.

So not sorry to see them go.

Because of the screaming or because of other reasons? Because of other reasons. I don't like screaming okay well I mean nobody thought

Russia would get to the quarterfinals they did they got to a penalty kick shootout against Croatia after a wild extra time when both

teams scored including a late Russia header in the second part of extra time and

eventually Ivan Rakotich does what he tends to do as he finished against Denmark he finished with the final kick against Russia in penalties and Croatia is

through to a semi-final against England. The one you're going to see, obviously, out in St. Petersburg is France, Belgium.
