On the podcast today: there are tears from Raúl Jiménez as he scores his first ever World Cup goal that confirms a very easy win for co-hosts Mexico. South Africa gifted them the first, had a man sent off … and then had another red card (while the there was also another dismissal for Mexico).
Elsewhere; South Korea come back to beat Czechia at a very high altitude. And we’ll look ahead to the games involving the other host nations, Canada and the USA.
Plus, off the field, the Somalian referee refused entry to the US, Iran’s delayed and denied visas, and Gianni Infantino’s press conference that definitely cleared that all up.
All that, a glimpse behind the scenes at the first few days of Max and Barry living together in the US, and your questions answered.
