Hi, I'm Grant Wall, and welcome to the Planet Football Podcast World Cup Daily. Day 9 of World Cup 2018 is in the books.

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

16th. Just a small request it would be a huge help if you subscribe, rate, and

review our podcast. It helps people find this. In this episode I'm also joined by by

Shali Bardwaish of London's Evening Standard to talk about a Young England team

and its winning start to the tournament. Onward! Let's bring in Brian Strauss now from Nizhny Novgorod.

I'm here in Moscow.

You're there ahead of England Panama coming up there.

How are you doing, Brian? Yeah, England Panama a couple days. I took a walk

this evening. I was hoping to be surrounded by

fowlings's I was hoping to be surrounded by phalanx's of angry sunburned Brits, but there were none. Really? Yeah, a few straggling Argentines who were, I guess, in denial, actually a Panamanian group in my hotel. And I saw one sort of like forlorn dude with an England flag on the

street and that was about it so maybe there maybe the invasion is tomorrow I

don't know but yeah that's coming up and obviously kind of still the city

is still kind of emptying out after the Argentina, Croatia, insanity.

So that is what's going on here in Nizhny.

Well, a game today, Nigeria 2, Iceland Zero, has a big impact on those Argentines in Group D because as a result

Argentina still has a path to get out of this group and every team in group D is

still alive heading into the final game.

Croatia is already advanced.

Nigeria looked really good today.

And Ahmed Musa gets both goals.

I was disappointed with Iceland and their performance today.
