Jimbo is joined by Jay Harris, Liam Tharme, James Horncastle, Joshua Kloke and Wael Jabir after a historic day 3 in Qatar.
Saudi Arabia shock the world by coming from behind to beat Argentina. How far can the Saudis go? How much did the lack of a plan B expose Lionel Scaloni?
We look ahead to Wednesday’s action as The Athletic’s Joshua Kloke previews the biggest game in the history of the Canadian national team as they prepare to take on the number 2 ranked team in the world Belgium. Canada don’t have a new kit but will they look the part?
France also come from behind to make light work of Australia, with Olivier Giroud equalling the all-time France scoring record. And elsewhere there’s plenty of goals saved above average from Ochoa, Denmark and Tunisia.
Plus some fretting over Kane’s ankle and Ronaldo’s employment.
