Summary
On today's bonus episode, Marcus, Jim and Andy look back at a classic combo from World Cups past. We return to 2006, where England's hopes of glory hinged on one stamp - and a wink.
Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo had established themselves as two of Europe's brightest young stars when they met in the World Cup quarter-finals in 2006. We look back over that tempestuous game that riled up English fans and media alike for months afterwards. Even if they conveniently forgot that Rooney literally stamped on a man's groin.
