About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Balogun's red card for USMNT, England's tactical issues, and the performance of various teams in the World Cup.

The Round of 32 delivered chaos. We break down Balogun's red card and what it means for USMNT vs Belgium, why England's win over DR Congo left us with real concerns, and how France are quietly the scariest team left in the tournament. Plus Brazil survive Japan, Mexico's altitude threat to England, and transfer talk on Said El Mala to Liverpool and Chelsea's move for a Spanish left back.
