It’s time for Joel and Ste to head back after a month in LA with Airbnb so the trio settle down in the outdoor pool to review the tournament so far including how resolute and impressive Thomas Tuchel has been considering the questions and doubts about his squad selection.
Joel turns the tables on Rio and gets him to pick his tournament 5 a side team… wait for the caveats!
Ste and Rio discuss the tactical trends that may make their way back to the Premier League after the World Cup and then pick three players to splurge £300m on as if they were in charge of their clubs.
The trio also reminisce about the favourite moments of the trip away from the football including the ability of Ste and Rio to embrace the horse-riding experience in comparison to Joel.
