Episode 3603: Álvarez Saves Argentina, Swiss Simulation, Messi’s Tank, Bellingham V Tuchel, Evangelical Brazilians

Argentina huffed and puffed against a doughty Swiss side but lacked inspiration and energy, until Breel Embolo got a second yellow card for simulation, with the help of VAR.

We chat to Tim Vickery about the importance of Julián Álvarez, Messi showing his age, who is England’s real leader, and the ongoing fallout from Brazil’s early exit.

Plus there’s the evangelical Brazilians theory, Bellingham giving Tuchel both barrels, Eoin in the arena and Murph’s cultural exchange week.
