About this episode

Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith reflect on the World Cup final, discussing the atmosphere, the half-time show, and Spain's victory.

The World Cup is over. Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith take you inside football's biggest night after watching the final at MetLife Stadium. They reflect on the atmosphere, what it was like to experience a World Cup final in person and whether the much-talked-about half-time show added to the occasion or distracted from it. Joe Hart joins to analyse Spain's victory and explain why they deserved to lift the trophy, while Kelly Cates gives her verdict on the spectacle surrounding the final. And after six unforgettable weeks together across Los Angeles and New York, Rick and Lloyd sign off from the World Cup one final time.
