In the episode, we previewed the World Cup final game between Spain & Argentina (In hindsight, congrats to La Roja on their victory) and put our chips on who wins the midfield battle.

Plus, our player of the tournament, the surprise package nobody saw coming, and how African sides went from their group-stage heroics to R32 heartbreak. We have also got the wildest World Cup stories doing the rounds, from stolen kit, denied visas, and grass selling for more than your rent, before we shift continents for a full WAFCON preview and the Super Falcons' hunt for title number 11.

All that, plus the football transfer gossip and NBA trades shaking up the summer.
