About this episode

The episode discusses England and Scotland's preparations and prospects in the World Cup, including injury concerns and team performance.

It is World Cup week!  England treated their friendly against New Zealand as a training session...can we learn anything? Does Thomas Tuchel already know his line up to face Croatia or is it still in doubt? How worried should England fans be that three of England's team are already in the red zone, prone to injury or burn out?  Scotland are looking confident with eight goals in their last two games. If they can beat Haiti in their opening game could that be enough for them to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time? Tom clarke is joined by Gregor Robertson and  Hosted on Acast.
