World Cup Uncensored

Spain won the World Cup for the second time in their history yesterday, beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time.
The Spanish celebrations were marred however by the Argentinian’s ‘disgusting’ behaviour after losing, with player Leandro Parades throttling Spanish players trying to celebrate and Nahuel Molina whacking Rodri in the chest as multiple fights broke out all over the pitch.
Despite the bad behaviour from the Argentinians, Spain lifted the trophy (alongside US President Donald Trump who tried to get in the team picture) and were the deserved champions, having only conceded one goal all tournament, a new record.
In the final episode of World Cup Uncensored, co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are once again joined by former England captain John Terry to react to the final, England’s third place play-off against France, the future of England under Tuchel and finally the tragic passing of footballing legend Kevin Keegan.

Another World Cup semi-final, another defeat for England.

Manager Thomas Tuchel has been praised all tournament for his bravery in making big decisions but has been criticised for being 'cowardly' in his substitutions and set up after scoring the first goal against Argentina, which many believe costed the Three Lions the game.

Host Simon Jordan is joined by former England captain John Terry, who share agreement that England's loss was solely down to the managers 'negative' subs, as he brought on defenders for midfielders and tried to hold on to the lead.

John called it one of the "worst tactical decisions" he had ever seen and says yesterday has made him question Tuchel's status as an 'elite manager'.

Graeme Souness, former Tottenham player and Scotland international, however believes the main responsibility lies with the players - believing they need to seize the game earlier and not capitulate after the goal goes in. Graeme says Tuchel's main point of criticism should lie with the initial squad that he brought.

Jude Bellingham again... who else? England reach another World Cup semi-final as Bellingham fired two past Norway - one being in extra time, to dump Erling Haaland out of the tournament.
But what stole the headlines was the post-match interviews of England manager Thomas Tuchel and goal-scoring hero Jude Bellingham...
Gabriel Clarke first asked Tuchel for his thoughts on the game, to which the manager said the team were 'not good enough' and 'lucky' to have won the game.
Clarke then asked Bellingham for his reaction to the managers comments, where he replied 'whatever' and added that they 'wont win every game playing a thousand passes'.
Is this another case of the media creating rifts in the England squad or is this simply tempers flaring after the game? Is Clarke to blame for asking this question?
Finally the boys give their predictions for the Argentina game as a 39-year-old Lionel Messi continues his incredible form and look to defend their World Cup trophy.
Joining co-hosts Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan to discuss all this is former England captain John Terry as well as former Premier League and Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy.

As England prepare for their quarter final match vs Norway, questions over FIFA's involvement in refereeing and sporting decisions are growing. England right back Jarrell Quansah, who received a red card in the match against Mexico after VAR interference, is set to miss the next two games England play this World Cup.

This comes right off the back of Egypt's head coach calling out FIFA for 'rigging' the game in Argentina's favour, after losing the game 3-2 and many calling the decisions awarded to Argentina 'suspicious'.

Host of the show Simon Jordan is joined by former England captain John Terry and former England and Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas to debate whether the supporters and players can ever trust any FIFA judgement after the Folarin Balogun red card situation, how far England can go in the tournament and what they will need to do to stop Erling Haaland...

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.
