This week on The Final Third, we dissect the World Cup semi-finals and what they revealed about the four remaining sides, before looking ahead to the final and the battle for third place. We also turn to the transfer market, with the early moves, rumours, and managerial decisions beginning to shape the summer.
The semi-finals left Spain facing Argentina for the world title, while England and France were left to contest third place.
There is plenty to get into: Spain’s control and technical quality, Argentina’s ability to manage the biggest moments and antics, England’s strange tournament, and what the final tells us about where international football is heading.
