In this episode of World Cup Uncensored, Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are joined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry to react to England's outstanding victory over Mexico, the growing belief around Thomas Tuchel's side and FIFA's controversial decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension ahead of the quarter-finals.

Simon launches into a passionate criticism of FIFA and Gianni Infantino, arguing football's governing body has undermined its own rules by reversing Balogun's ban midway through the tournament. John questions why players should be punished for refereeing mistakes and believes the bigger issue is the standard of officiating at the World Cup.

The panel also heap praise on England's performance at the Azteca, with John hailing it as one of the nation's best displays in recent memory. Thomas Tuchel earns widespread acclaim for his tactical approach, while Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Jordan Pickford and Djed Spence all receive special praise after overcoming the altitude, heat and the challenge of playing with ten men. The discussion also turns to whether Gareth Southgate could ever have produced a performance of that calibre with the Three Lions.

Finally, the trio look ahead to England's quarter-final against Norway, debating how to stop Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, whether Marcus Rashford should return to the starting XI and why Tuchel is beginning to convince even his biggest sceptics that the boys could finally be genuine contenders to bring football home.

In this episode of World Cup Uncensored, Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are re-joined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry as well as former Premier League manager Sean Dyche to react to England's performance against Panama, England's hopes to progress far in the tournament and Enzo Maresca's 'apology' to Chelsea for leaving during the season to lineup his replacement as Man City manager once Pep Guardiola was confirmed to be leaving and more.

John believes that although the England players will be relieved to top the group, the manager will have major concerns over England's defense and how they have allowed many chances to some lacklustre opposition.

Piers believes the key for England's success lies in letting Declan Rice play the number 8 position for England and having the license to bomb up and crash the box, whereas Terry believes the key is with actually playing Rice in the 6 role. Sean defends Rice from online criticism of 'sideways passing' suggesting that might be an instruction from the manager to play that way.

Finally, Simon has his say on the former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and for his 'poor behaviour' in the handling of his resignation after it was reported Enzo had been in talks with Manchester City to replace Pep Guardiola if he was to leave at the end of the season. Simon says much of his apology is 'bullsh*t' and believes it could be part of the settlement Chelsea agreed with Man City in that Maresca would take a large portion of responsibility for how things played out.

Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are re-joined by Chelsea legend John Terry for this episode of World Cup Uncensored as the boys react to England's draw against Ghana, Brazil's thrashing of an uninspiring Scotland and of course Cristiano Ronaldo silencing the critics with an emphatic brace against Uzbeksitan.

Firstly the boys break down England Manager Thomas Tuchel's tactical set up against Ghana as they looked to hold on to the draw that would see them qualify to the next round of the World Cup. John believes Tuchel needed to make a change in personnel quicker as it was clear quite quickly how Ghana planned to sit behind the ball and try to counter. Was this a prime example of why people believed Cole Palmer should've been on the plane?

Scotland manager Steve Clarke was under fire for not only the performance on the pitch as Brazil dominated the game against them in a 3-0 win, but also for his comments after the game about his lack of belief in their chances of going through as third place winners.

Finally, the Ghanian Witch Doctor Nana Kwaku Bonsam, who reportedly placed a curse on England striker Harry Kane to stop him from scoring against his country joined the show and explained his decision to lift the curse and how much admiration he had for the forward. He eventually ends up creating a new curse live on the show, placing one on Uri Geller, the British psychic who claimed that Bonsam's black magic was not real or more powerful than his powers.

Just before we began recording for World Cup Uncensored, news broke that Keir Starmer is stepping down from his role as British Prime Minister and has formally resigned in an address to the nation.

Rejoining co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan to discuss this (and plenty of football too, don’t worry!) is regular guest and former Chelsea and England Captain John Terry.

Terry also reflects on the previous episode, where he and former Premier League manager Sean Dyche discussed the pathway for English coaches and their opportunities to manage both the England national team and leading Premier League clubs. While Terry believes English managers deserve more opportunities, he also agrees with Simon Jordan's view that many have failed to make the most of the chances they have been given.

The conversation then turns to Terry's own managerial ambitions. He discusses being overlooked by Chelsea for both the interim and permanent manager positions, arguing that his coaching experience merited at least an interview before the club ultimately appointed Liam Rosenior.
