Episode 3599: Impenetrable Spain, Rickety Ronaldo, Trump’s Red Line, Infantino Wreaks Havoc

Once again Spain and Unai Simon kept a clean sheet and thanks to a beautifully constructed Mikel Merino goal in the 91st minute, the European champs are through to the Quarter Finals.

We chat to Ken about impenetrable, uninspiring Spain, if rickety Ronaldo can make a 7th World Cup, Roberto Martinez’s warped values, and Trump’s lengthy press conference about Balogun’s ban and “smart, tough” Gianni Infantino.

And Eoin gets the views of Spanish/Basque/American journalist and podcaster Ander Iturralde.
