Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning and Mark Langdon of the Racing Post to discuss day five of the 2018 World Cup, starting with England’s last-gasp win over Tunisia.

England’s success at set pieces, reluctance to utilise early substitutions and lack of a creative passer come under scrutiny from the panel, with Barry particularly disappointed at a Kane winner which removed his capacity to make fun of Max throughout today’s episode.

In part two, we look at the other two games – a 3-0 Belgium win over Panama which felt a long time in coming and Sweden’s 1-0 win over South Korea which made Max question his commitment to watching every single game of the tournament.

Finally, we look ahead to tomorrow’s games, including an opportunity for the hosts to qualify for the knockout stages, and Barry auditions for a spin-off pod.

Back tomorrow!
