Hey, folks, before we get to today's episode of the podcast, I wanted to say first, thank you for

continuing to listen to the Total Soccer Show throughout the World Cup, even with the USM&T eliminated.

We greatly appreciate people sticking with us, but we also understand if you want to check

out other podcasts too, listen to this one first and then check out other ones.

And what I'm going to point you to directly is the football ramble. It is a

wonderful way to get your soccer coverage, but some lighthearted fare as well, or combined,

football's most important independent voices.

So join them every morning for a slightly more lighthearted look at the nonsense that is this World Cup.

England, we're at times shaky but brought the fire with a solid performance, even from Harry Maguire.

For England fans, this one was fun, and you can thank me for listening to Three Lines this

morning on my run. And the French were prohibited from causing Poland any pain, until the

moment, Jules Kunde removed his chain. Robert Lewandowski wasn't involved a lot, but thankfully was given a mulligan for his

terrible effort from the spot.

So the French are through and a big test lies ahead.
