Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning and Philippe Auclair in the studio to discuss all the drama on day three in Russia. Jonathan Wilson joins us fresh from watching Iceland clinch an incredible draw against Argentina, which included a penalty saved from Lionel Messi.

The day started with VAR controversy as France edged past Australia in a game that featured two penalties and needed the use of goal line technology for the winner.

In part three we preview Sunday’s offering which starts with Costa Rica v Serbia in Group E before holders Germany kick off their campaign versus Mexico in Group F. Brazil then take on Switzerland to round off day four.
