Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you'll no doubt be aware that England made it through to the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup....HUZZAH! (And since this episode went out on air, we're now in the semi-finals.....DOUBLE HUZZAH!!) In celebration, I chose punk, metal and hardcore bands to represent each of the countries who were in the quarter finals of the world cup, to battle it out musically. Listen and find out who I've chosen and to cast your vote on who you think wins each match
