We discuss whether Tuchel got his team selection right, if Declan Rice's injury concerns are becoming a problem, whether Bukayo Saka should return to the starting XI, and what changes England need to make ahead of their next match against Panama. All that and more as Mike and Adam give their instant reaction to England 0-0 Ghana and look ahead to the knockout stages of the World Cup.

We also react to Tuchel’s England squad announcement. Has he got it right? Any glaring misses? Any picks that make absolutely no sense? And because apparently we enjoy pain… we went back and listened to our predictions from episode one. Were we right? Absolutely not. In fact, Adam produced a prediction so bad it may genuinely require an apology.
