It’s World Cup Final week, and it’s time for the first of the semi-finals as turncoat Thierry Henry plots his home nation’s downfall tonight in St Petersburg.

The last time Ken was at a World Cup semi, the final score was 7-1. Can the Belgians put meek France to the sword?

 

Belgium have played the better football, but “small nations never win the World Cup” – Ken’s theory from before the tournament began gets its stiffest exam tonight.

 

And after a FIFA-enforced absence for the last few weeks, US Murph is back with a bang, as he gives us the low-down on just who he fancies to lift the Jules Rimet trophy… and why Lebron James is moving to Lala-land for more than just the basketball – he also has Hollywood superstardom, and maybe world domination, on his mind.

Plus there’s Eoin pronouncing that Belgian footballer’s name correctly, unfairly pigeon-holing Romelu Lukaku, Big Jack’s big fish, and Roberto Martinez tactical genius.
