About this episode

Archie and Goran discuss the World Cup, New Zealand's exit, and preview upcoming matches while sharing betting tips.

With no Charlie this week, Archie and Goran take the reins of The Group Chat podcast to discuss all things World Cup, while sprinkling in a bit of the ABs season opener this weekend. Discussions start around New Zealand bowing out of the World Cup after a tough loss to Belgium, but the lads point to the silver linings from the tournament, such as Eli Just, Marco Stamenic and Finn Surman. From there, they talk more about the massive knockout results seen on the first full day of Round of 32 action and preview one of the biggest clashes set for later in the week. In true TGC fashion, the lads round out the show with a couple of punts they are looking at this weekend.
