Summary
It’s on! It’s happened! England were good! 1966! Scones! Bank holidays! Still pepped up from the night before, we’ve bounced into the studio to pore over what was a thoroughly enjoyable first game from England. Despite some at times Sassi play from Tunisia they got the job done, and, frankly, we are like dogs with a number of appendages.
On top of this we look at Belgium’s controlled demolition of Panama, Sweden and South Korea going through the motions, and the opinions of a certain Diego Maradona.
