Argentina came from 2-0 down with just 11 minutes remaining to beat Egypt 3-2... but the biggest talking point afterwards was VAR.
Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith are joined by the BBC's Football Issues Correspondent Dale Johnson to dissect the controversial decisions that overshadowed an extraordinary comeback and ask whether Egypt were denied a famous victory.
Stephen Warnock is alongside the boys to break down one of the most dramatic matches of the World Cup, reflect on Switzerland's penalty shootout win over Colombia and continue the never-ending search for the perfect football pun.
Plus, Stephen turns up with a surprise present for Lloyd... a toy fire engine.
