The episode discusses England's World Cup progress, Struijk's transfer from Leeds United, and Hull City's preparations for the Premier League.

On this week’s show, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to pick over England’s progression in the World Cup, topping the group with a 2-0 win over Panama before edging out the Demorcratic Republic of Congo 2-1 on Wednesday night, setting up a last 16 encounter with co-hosts Mexico on Sunday night. Closer to home, the panel discusses the impact of Pascal Struijk’s departure from Leeds United to Premier League rivals Brighton, as well as who stands to gain most from the opening of the free agent market earlier this week.
