The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Day 6 of the World Cup and Jimbo’s joined by Tom Williams, Liam Thame, Omid Djalili and more!
England and USA battle to a goalless draw as The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio once again rues missed opportunities for the US. And why can’t Gareth Southgate find room for Phil Foden?
The early game between Wales and Iran highlights the agony of sporting defeat, the ecstasy of sporting victory and as Omid outlines, the grief surrounding what’s happening back home in Iran. But can progress to the last 16 help highlight Iran’s troubles to the world?
Elsewhere, Qatar are the earliest exiting hosts ever as Enter Valencia continues to rack up the stats for Ecuador. And we ask Sebastian Garcia about the mood in Buneos Aires as they face potential elimination against Mexico on Saturday.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
