Argentina will get the chance to defend their crown this weekend in New Jersey as England crash out of the World Cup.

A Thomas Tuchel tactical implosion, a Messi who just wouldn’t let the curtain fall and an English retreat that’ll live long in the memory.

We hear from Ken in Atlanta where he’s joined by David Sneyd and Tim Vickery dials in from Brazil while Murph spent the night at an Argentine Asado.
