Ali, George and Dave reconvene for a calmer, deeper look at England's 4-2 win against Croatia in the World Cup opener.

They discuss Thomas Tuchel's influence on and off the pitch, the second-half transformation, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's leadership, the impact of Elliott Anderson, and why England's attacking structure looks very different to recent tournament teams.

Plus: Post Match Speakpipes, Wonderwall, rooftop celebrations, the defensive concerns that still need addressing, and whether England may have discovered a new tournament identity.
