Jimbo welcomes Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander, Liam Tharme and many more into the studio to dissect the final 4 groups of the Qatar World Cup.
Group E includes Germany and their bogey team Spain. Rapha expects Musiala to shine while Alvaro Romeo is waiting for big things from Pedri.
Group F contains the hipster clásico of Canada v Belgium, the best midfield in the tournament and the best full-back pairing in the tournament.
In Group G, Natalie Gedra tells us why it’s not all about Neymar for Brazil, while Rigobert Song struggles to get to grips with the names in his Cameroon squad.
And there’s Group H, the group of revenge. Carl Anka suggests Ghana would rather beat Uruguay than progress. Sungmo Lee has his eye on the Kim backline. And will Fernando Santos stink up the joint again?
Produced by Charlie Jones.
