Episode Notes
England's World Cup campaign is about to begin.
Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith are joined by John Murray and Paul Robinson from Dallas, where Thomas Tuchel and Harry Kane have been speaking to the media ahead of England's opening match against Croatia. We hear from both of them and assess England's chances before they get their tournament under way.
Before that, the team react to another historic night for Lionel Messi. He became the oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick as he continues to rewrite the record books.
Julien Laurens also joins the pod to react to France's 3-1 win over Senegal and discuss whether the French have what it takes to challenge for the trophy once again.
Plus, Rick and Lloyd head out for lunch in LA, where Lloyd's promise to share his nachos doesn't quite go to plan.
