On Episode 28 of The Away End, Daniel and John talk about the semifinal matches, starting with the incredible England vs. Argentina match where Messi, once again did some beautiful things to deliver Argentina to another World Cup final, as Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez were able to get the ball directly through the windows of England’s parked bus. And in a stark contrast, Spain was able to keep the ball away from France as France’s superstar front line was unable to show up. They talk about the players they will miss and preview the Spain vs. Argentina final as we get close to the moment that we’ve all been waiting for! Finally, your letters bring us home!
