Football Ramble

Wouldn't you bloomin' believe it, Cape Verde have qualified for the knockouts! Delight for the Cape, but despair for Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay who head home. Can we take one of their four stars away from them for that?

Marcus, Pete & Jim are here to revel in the Cape Verdean joy. Plus, a Mexican fan sticks his head in a candyfloss machine and Channing Tatum pops up at the Norway match, because why the hell not?

Pete, Jim and Luke - AKA your favourite barbershop trio - are here to celebrate a magical win for Ecuador, who beat already-qualified Germany even though they spent half the game getting kicked in the head.

Elsewhere across a chaotic night of action: Sexy Hervé can’t right the Tunisian ship, Japan legend Keisuke Honda brings some unrivalled commentary gaffes and we establish a fair price for getting sportswashed. Game’s the game.

Oh, Scotland… Steve Clarke and his men have been doomed to a painful wait in third-place purgatory. Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim review where it all went wrong for Scotland against Brazil.

Elsewhere, we share our thanks to the Ghanaian witch doctor, aka Nick Hewer, for lifting the curse he placed on Harry Kane. Plus, Mexico beat Czech Republic and Switzerland beat Canada. However, the lads explain why it isn’t all bad for Jesse Marsch and America’s hat.

Well, that was a tough watch. Queiroz-ball (and My Fizzy Aunt) was in full flow last night as England were forced to settle for a goalless draw with Ghana.

Marcus, David & Pete try to bring us some positivity after that drab affair. Plus, Merlin the Mexican duck meets the president, Darren Fletcher makes a fool of himself (again) and a listener gets in touch with some breaking Flo Rida news.

England are back in action tonight! After putting those Croatian slugs to the sword, it's Ghana's turn to face the wrath of Tommy Tuchel's boys.

Marcus and Luke are here (lamppost flag in hand) to preview the big one. What's England's best centre-back partnership? Is Declan Rice actually fit? And is it coincidental that Luke's very own Gosport is the hottest place in the UK today? Makes you think.

Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland all had their fill once again. Is Erling Haaland somehow underrated? Marcus, Luke and Jim battle with that idea on today’s Ramble.

Elsewhere, Marcus and Luke disagree on whether Argentina will be able to deal with tougher tests later in the tournament. Plus, could Algeria and Austria both try and lose their final group game?

More superhero stuff from The Cape! Pete, Vish and Jim carnival into the studio off the back of another miraculous Cape Verde performance, which could help secure their passage to the next round. Yes, you read that right.

Elsewhere, Spain dish out a particularly Spanish brand of gubbing, bucking our new theory that key Schengen Area protagonists continue to disappoint this World Cup. Plus: Egypt end their 100-year wait for a win, more DOGSO criminals and an outrageous Pete prediction comes off - and yet somehow he won’t admit it.

When it comes to Germany, we’re not neutrals. But despite the disappointing ending, we enjoyed the spectacle of their 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.

Today, Marcus and Luke reflect on that, plus Spells (predictably) explains why Hervé Renard has improved Tunisia despite their panelling at the hands of Japan. Elsewhere, Curaçao get a famous point and the “naked” Guru’s prediction is looking a bit better after the Netherlands dispatched Graham “The Cowboy” Potter’s Sweden.

Teams are going out? Already?! Here we were thinking there was a round of 48 after this, but Marcus, David and Jim get in the studio to react to Haiti and Turkey's exits. For the latter, it was in especially dismal, dare we say England-like fashion...

Elsewhere, did Scotland respect Morocco too much? The US and Mauricio Pochettino's hair continue to impress with another victory which seals their spot in the knockouts. And last but certainly not least, there's an urgent UK burger law clarification from two chefs. Don't say we don't educate you.

Never fall asleep during a World Cup match, that was the lesson that Luke learnt last night. We need to thank Switzerland, Canada, Qatar and Bosnia for providing eleven goals and three red cards. The other teams need to take a look at themselves.

Join Marcus, Luke and Pete on today’s Ramble so you can lose your mind.
