In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to chat about Wednesday evening's World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina. Despite taking the lead, Thomas Tuchel's side retreated into a defensive shape and ultimately paid the price as Lionel Messi provided two assists. We chat about the England's manager's decisions, a highly fatigued Declan Rice, the lack of Bukayo Saka involvement at any stage, and the prospect of the final between Spain and Argentina. There's some transfer chat as Julian Alvarez interest continues, discussion of William Saliba's back injury which threatens the start of his season, the risible half-time show planned for Sunday, and lots more.
