The round of 16 games are underway and delivering!
Musa and Ryan chat about England’s 3-2 against Mexico at the Azteca (02.50) which saw weather delays, penalties and a red card, but ultimately, two Jude Bellingham goals and a Harry Kane penalty rewarding Thomas Tuchel’s side with a place in the quarter-finals.
Norway await England, following their 2-1 win against Brazil and another two goals for Erling Haaland (26:48). There’s also chat about Morocco’s win over Canada and France getting past Paraguay (40:45), plus some thoughts on Folarin Balogun’s red card ban being suspended, meaning he will play against Belgium.
