How a Harry Kane rocket saved England

Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Jacob Hawley to unpack England's dramatic victory over DR Congo in the last 32 of the World Cup. Despite the win there is serious concerns over England's defence and inability to break down a stubborn defence But on the plus side, they do have Harry Kane, who everyone agrees is capable of taking England deep into the tournament on his own. Away from England we ask Emmanuel if there is any weaknesses surrounding his beloved France side, and who would win in a fantasy match between this French team and Petit's World Cup winning side in 1998 And we pick our winners and losers from the last few days too!

How to break down a low block

Matt Forde is alongside former USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel and comedian Chloe Petts to reflect on England's win over Panama and look ahead to the round of 32 at the World Cup Brad says there is no reason for England fans to be concerned despite an uninspiring performance against Panama which saw them top their group. He also gives us the low down on their next opponents DR Congo who he expects to deploy a low block, similar to Ghana. Elsewhere he tells us why France are still the team to beat and that they can get past Sweden with nine men they had to, he tells us why US fans are wrong to criticise Pochettino and why Ronaldo's performances for Portugal are not as bad as some are making out. And we pick our winners and losers from the last few days too!

How Ghana brought England back down to Earth

Matt Forde is alongside former England defender Danny Mills and comedian Alex Brooker to unpack England's drab 0-0 draw with Ghana. We ask if there's any cause for concern after the result or if it was actually a point well gained from Tuchel's men, and we hear from the England boss who tells us it was most certainly a point gained. Danny expresses his concern over the lack of creativity in the side and also shares concern for the lack of depth at left back which he fears could be exposed heading into the knockout stages. Elsewhere, we ask if two goals against Uzbekistan is enough to change to perception on Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi magic continues and how far can Norway go with Haaland and Odegaard in their side? And we pick our winners and losers from the last few days too!
