The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Australia advance, Poland progress and Mexico come maddeningly close to qualifying
It’s Jimbo, Maram AlBaharna and Tim Spiers on the pod after Day 11 of the World Cup as Australia, Argentina and Poland advance to the knockout stages.
Samantha Lewis joins us after Australia pulled off a shock knockout stage progression at Denmark’s expense.
Argentina make early fears of a premature exit after their defeat to Saudi Arabia seem premature after a comfortable win over a Poland side who started counting yellow cards to avoid elimination.
Mexico so nearly made it through but a conservative start to the tournament couldn’t be compensated for by a barnstorming finish against Saudi Arabia.
Looking ahead, Belgium face behind the scenes bedlam and an improving Croatian side as obstacles to their progress in this World Cup. Kristoff Terreur gives us a review of what could be a hellish night for the Red Devils.
This Totally Football Show was produced by Steve Hankey.
