| 0:00.0 | Okay, so we've watched the first two games. |
| 0:02.7 | Ordinarily, we podcast after each game, but I was at the dentist this morning, listeners. |
| 0:08.4 | So I got to watch the Portugal-Morocco game from home before coming in to the Old Red Lion |
| 0:14.2 | to watch the second game. |
| 0:15.7 | Well, parts of the second game, Europe-wise, Saudi Arabia. |
| 0:18.4 | From the sounds of it, I didn't miss anything too exciting. |
| 0:21.8 | Two goals this morning, one from Cristiana Ronaldo, one from Louis Suarez, how many times have |
| 0:26.7 | we said that before? The first game was quite interesting, wasn't it? Because Portugal took |

| 0:57.4 | didn't we, Alex? |
| 0:58.6 | Yes, Ziesh, Belhander, Amrabat, who didn't look altogether phased by his very clear |
| 1:07.5 | concussion, although it is, I think, dubious that he was allowed to play. |
| 1:11.9 | My favourite bit was when he took off his headguard and just discarded it at the side of the pitch. |
| 1:16.1 | Through it at the side of the pitch and disgust for some reason. |
| 1:19.9 | And Morocco pressed extremely well. |
| 1:24.6 | El Ahmadi, who Martin Keone, I think, decided was called El Hamidi. |
