The episode discusses England's performance in their 4-2 victory over Croatia, focusing on xG and player analysis.

England won 4-2 over Croatia, dominated the xG, and generally looked like a real football team and a real World Cup contender. We have some slightly different takes on the first half, we get into questions about the PADDLIN' model and England, and of course Marouane Fellaini is discussed in some depth. Support the show
