Jimbo welcomes Raphael Honigstein and Charlie Eccleshare into the pod as Argentina book their ticket to the World Cup final.
Croatia are overcome by La Albiceleste in the first semi-final on Tuesday, with Messi continuing to dazzle in Qatar. Does Argentina effectively playing with 10 men and luxury Lionel show the differences between elite club competition and the World Cup?
France or Morocco await for Argentina in the final. Can the holders succeed where Spain and Portugal failed in finding a way to the Africans’ goal? And how will brothers Mbappe and Hakimi fare against each other?
Plus we dive into the foreign manager debate and whether Thomas Tuchel would fancy a crack at the England job.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
