Recorded immediately after the final whistle on Thursday evening Ruairi and Adam are still on a high from an incredible Japanese performance and arguably the upset of the tournament, but who knows anymore? They are happening on a daily basis now!

Join us as we start off with Japan carrying on their giant killings and what can we expect from them in the next round? Then we talk Germany, what has gone wrong and where from here for poor Hansi. We preview the round of 16 games and recap Groups A-F, talking Australia waltzing on, Tunisia celebrating a big anniversarry in style and Poland taking pragmatism and cynicism to levels never seen before, is it so boring it's actually entertaining? Hear us out. We then talk Senegal and Cisse's tactical nouse ahead of them taking on The Three Lions, what can we expect from the game and what should England be preparing for?

Finally just when you thought Italian football was in rest, Juventus save the day! We then discuss what is happening in Turin, how this has all come about and what we can realistically expect to happen. Rubentus return as they can never stay away for long.

We then finish our episode continuing our partnership with Cards of Qatar, telling the story of 3 migrant workers who suffered in the build up to this tournament.
