Clash of the titanic continents, maybe not so much for the teams…as France took on Nigeria and Germany played Algeria the World went back to hysteria as some grew wearier of the lucky criteria which see teams progress to the next round. Make sense? No, of course it doesn't: especially not for Nigeria and Algeria, […]

Two of the tournament favourites, so far, go through to the next round to face opposition who possess more in morale than talent, but the World Cup throws up some funny ties and both Argentina and France will have to avoid an upset in the next round. Elsewhere, football has gone mad. Soccer, let’s talk […]

As the pod sit down to look at the games that mattered in this World Cup the next round begins to shape itself up…who will go through? Matt and Kris take you through the ties. The end of the podcast got mashed up. So we finish on a tense fade. Our apologies. Soccer, let’s talk […]

Oh and the pod look at the rest of the […]

To top the group when you were given no chance in England isn’t actually that much of an achievement. But to top a group that you were against two former World Champions in? That’s real! Costa Rica proving the force in a tournament all about the letter ‘C’. The bigger questions in this tournament are […]

What else would the pod talk about about but…that game…well, there is plenty to muse on.
