Episode 3575: World Cup Whistle Stop, Brazil Must Change, Happy Curacao, Houston’s Got Problems

This weekend gave us our first glimpses of Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, Haiti, Switzerland, Qatar, Germany and Curacao, and we manage to call in on quite a few teams on our Sunday night whistle-stop tour.

We speak to comedian, podcaster and Scotsman Ray Bradshaw about Scotland’s first win at a World Cup in 36 years and the influence of McTominay and McGinn.

And Ken was in beautiful* Houston for Germany 7-1 Curacao this evening, where he may have seen Jurgen Klopp, but he definitely saw Bastian Schweinsteiger, and he also caught up with Curacao journalist Lilo Sulvaran.
