Summary
Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are back to pick apart the bones of England's flat 0-0 draw against Ghana at Boston Stadium. To cheer Paul up after a frustrating night of World Cup football, Andy surprises him with a special, tournament-inspired gift.
Former Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew joins the show to share his tactical verdict on the stalemate, identifying exactly what went wrong in the final third and explaining why the Three Lions are sorely lacking the creative spark of Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Telegraph journalist Michael Mosbacher also stops by but he isn't sharing the tournament fever. He delivers a brutally honest explanation of why he truly detests the World Cup, detailing his personal battle with the sport and how he plans to survive the next few weeks of total football isolation.
