Episodes
The knockouts are underway! And bloody hell let's hope it gets better from here.
Marcus, Luke and Jim unpack what might be the worst game of the tournament so far between Canada and South Africa (sorry Canada). We do give Jesse Marsch and his men their dues and then do an in-depth analysis of every nation's World Cup music, because why not?
Elsewhere, conspiracies continue to swirl around Algeria and Austria while South Korea...
Marcus, Luke and Jim jump back on the pod for a big ol' easay after England's underwhelming meander / clinical, professional job (delete as you see fit). Still, at least Jude Bellingham proved he remains the absolute business!
Elsewhere, Croatia qualified for the knockouts (because of course they did), that little Argentine wizard was at it again and Algeria & Austria abandoned any sort of gentlemen's agreement and played ou...
Marcus and Jim were live on YouTube to look ahead to England's final game of the groups vs Panama! Get it done lads, because you'll never guess who we'll have if we finish second...
They react to the completely surprising news that Reece James may be out for the rest of the World Cup. Who replaces him? And if Elliot Anderson is out, will Jordan Henderson make England history? Plus, we worry about the Panamanian wrestler at left-...
Wouldn't you bloomin' believe it, Cape Verde have qualified for the knockouts! Delight for the Cape, but despair for Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay who head home. Can we take one of their four stars away from them for that?
Marcus, Pete & Jim are here to revel in the Cape Verdean joy. Plus, a Mexican fan sticks his head in a candyfloss machine and Channing Tatum pops up at the Norway match, because why the hell not?
Pete, Jim and Luke - AKA your favourite barbershop trio - are here to celebrate a magical win for Ecuador, who beat already-qualified Germany even though they spent half the game getting kicked in the head.
Elsewhere across a chaotic night of action: Sexy Hervé can’t right the Tunisian ship, Japan legend Keisuke Honda brings some unrivalled commentary gaffes and we establish a fair price for getting sportswashed. Game&rsqu...
Oh, Scotland… Steve Clarke and his men have been doomed to a painful wait in third-place purgatory. Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim review where it all went wrong for Scotland against Brazil.
Elsewhere, we share our thanks to the Ghanaian witch doctor, aka Nick Hewer, for lifting the curse he placed on Harry Kane. Plus, Mexico beat Czech Republic and Switzerland beat Canada. However, the lads explain why it isn’t all ba...
Well, that was a tough watch. Queiroz-ball (and My Fizzy Aunt) was in full flow last night as England were forced to settle for a goalless draw with Ghana.
Marcus, David & Pete try to bring us some positivity after that drab affair. Plus, Merlin the Mexican duck meets the president, Darren Fletcher makes a fool of himself (again) and a listener gets in touch with some breaking Flo Rida news.
England are back in action tonight! After putting those Croatian slugs to the sword, it's Ghana's turn to face the wrath of Tommy Tuchel's boys.
Marcus and Luke are here (lamppost flag in hand) to preview the big one. What's England's best centre-back partnership? Is Declan Rice actually fit? And is it coincidental that Luke's very own Gosport is the hottest place in the UK today? Makes you think.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland all had their fill once again. Is Erling Haaland somehow underrated? Marcus, Luke and Jim battle with that idea on today’s Ramble.
Elsewhere, Marcus and Luke disagree on whether Argentina will be able to deal with tougher tests later in the tournament. Plus, could Algeria and Austria both try and lose their final group game?

More superhero stuff from The Cape! Pete, Vish and Jim carnival into the studio off the back of another miraculous Cape Verde performance, which could help secure their passage to the next round. Yes, you read that right.
Elsewhere, Spain dish out a particularly Spanish brand of gubbing, bucking our new theory that key Schengen Area protagonists continue to disappoint this World Cup. Plus: Egypt end their 100-year wait for a win...
When it comes to Germany, we’re not neutrals. But despite the disappointing ending, we enjoyed the spectacle of their 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.
Today, Marcus and Luke reflect on that, plus Spells (predictably) explains why Hervé Renard has improved Tunisia despite their panelling at the hands of Japan. Elsewhere, Curaçao get a famous point and the “naked” Guru’s prediction is looking a bit better afte...
Teams are going out? Already?! Here we were thinking there was a round of 48 after this, but Marcus, David and Jim get in the studio to react to Haiti and Turkey's exits. For the latter, it was in especially dismal, dare we say England-like fashion...
Elsewhere, did Scotland respect Morocco too much? The US and Mauricio Pochettino's hair continue to impress with another victory which seals their spot in the knockouts. And last b...
Never fall asleep during a World Cup match, that was the lesson that Luke learnt last night. We need to thank Switzerland, Canada, Qatar and Bosnia for providing eleven goals and three red cards. The other teams need to take a look at themselves.
Join Marcus, Luke and Pete on today’s Ramble so you can lose your mind.

England are up and running! And WHAT a second half against Croatia. Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim cannot get enough of it.
Things we also can't get enough of: Harry Kane's big bonce, Jude Bellingham's goal, Anthony Barry's straight-talking half-time interview, and Pete trying to steal Marcus' debit card at the Ramble Watch Party.
Plus, the good Doctor Congo delivers against Portugal! But what on earth was Cristiano Ronaldo doing...
The wait is nearly over, England are in action tonight! Who else would you rather spend the pre-match time with than Marcus and Jim?
The lads are here to preview England’s revenge mission against Croatia. What’s more, they are excited about the potential of this squad. Who would have thought? Hop on the England bus now and get us in your ears.

Well, it's fair to say Lionel Messi has still got it. A hat-trick on his return to the world stage. Should we really be surprised?
Marcus, Jim & David are here to revel in his sheer brilliance as he nicks another of Cristiano Ronaldo's records. HAHAHA. Plus, FIFA threaten legal action against a Canadian weed shop and an important update on a fishy Kevin Keegan rug.

We’ve had our first big slip of the World Cup! Today, Pete, Luke and Jim celebrate Cape Verde earning an impressive point against Spain (and a few Instagram followers at the same time).
Elsewhere, is Romelu Lukaku Belgium’s only hope after they drew with Egypt? And was Iran 2-2 New Zealand a good or bad game? Plus, Pete leaves some very important luggage on a train…
Messrs Speller, Campbell and Moore are back with more dynamic World Cup dispatches. Last night, Germany poured a metric boatload of salt all over those little Curaçao slugs and cast shuddering doubts over this expanded tournament format – then again, Curacao scored, so 48 teams maybe good?
Elsewhere: weird decisions from Ronald Koeman handed unsurprising package Japan a draw, the Rocky Curse strikes again and we saw a rare...
Stevey Clarke's Scots are up and running at the World Cup! John McGinn with the goal that clinched the win. Definitely worth the 90 minutes of sleep, eh Jim?
Pete, Jim & Vish (with the assistance of a few cans of Carabao) pulled all-nighters and were richly rewarded by some cracking football. Plus, Guy Mowbray unzips Brazil & Pete re-ignites a very confusing feud with Tim Cahill.
We've had our first gubbing of the World Cup! And from the 'main hosts' USA against Paraguay! Marcus, Luke and Vish react to a historic day for both the US and Canada after Jesse Marsch's men drew with Bosnia and Herzegovina – all enhanced by Michael Bublé, of course.
Elsewhere, England get robbed in Kansas City and move their training next to a notorious dogging site, while Scotland fans are already making their mark in B...
