World Cup 011 | England, Belgium, France and Switzerland... It's The Revenge Of The Europoors

We 're down to the final stages of the World Cup. So who is going to win it?

Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jonathan Wilson and Miguel Delaney are on today’s episode, and start with discussion of Argentina who have won their last two games 3-2 in remarkable circumstances. Then focus turns to England, as Jack and Miguel discuss their historic win at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday night.

Spain have gone under the radar so far, but could their controlled style get them through just as it did in South Africa in 2010? And finally the big story of the last-16 round was Belgium defeating the US after Folarin Balogun’s controversial suspended suspension. Just how damaging will this be for FIFA, and what does it tell us about Gianni Infantino?

For this summer's main event, we are offering all new signups to SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs, a two-week free trial. Time it right and that's two bonus episodes and four extended shows without paying a penny. Join now: liberopodcast.com
