Episode 2511: Kane Unable, Rue Giroud, Messi Magic, Oranje Spice, Morocco March On
Welcome to our bonus Sunday World Cup pod after four of the most dramatic quarter-finals in the competition’s history.
We chat with Tim Vickery about the scenes between Argentina and The Netherlands, Brazil’s limp exit and some of the strange refereeing performances over the last few days.
We pay tribute to the life and career of American writer and broadcaster Grant Wahl who sadly passed away in Qatar while working on the Argentina game.
Plus there’s Ronaldo’s tears, Rue Giroud, England’s missed opportunity, big Wout, Moroccan magic, Messi’s moment.
