Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Alex Brooker to discuss England's defeat to Argentina in the semi final of the World Cup.

All three are in agreement that the blame should be attributed to Thomas Tuchel after he inexplicably decided to defend against the World Champions for the final 30 minutes of the game and allowed Lionel Messi to work his magic.

We ask what is next for the German following the defeat and if he should stick around? Could Pep Guardiola be an option to replace him after he left Man City earlier this year?

Emmanuel tells us how France is feeling following their shock defeat to Spain in the other semi final.

And we look ahead to Sunday's final and discuss the influence of Spain's talismanic captain Rodri who looks back to his sublime best.

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!

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!
