Musa and Ryan begin with Spain’s 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, which saw three goals in the first half and the ability to rest some key players for the second (02:10). They chat about Spain’s depth and whether that can be the thing that is the key advantage over other World Cup favourites.

There’s also chat about another Cape Verde draw (10:06) and their first World Cup goals, as they held Uruguay to a 2-2 draw. Plus, Belgium’s draw with Iran, which features one of the most spiritually onside goals of the tournament so far, Curaçao’s first point, Egypt’s first win, Germany, Japan and a few big picture thoughts (33:07).

Come and see us live in London on July 23rd, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre! Tickets are available here.
