England frustrated by Ghana and Ronaldo is 'back'

England are held in Boston by Carlos Queiroz's stubborn Black Stars with Tuchel's side struggling to create opportunities. Jimbo is joined in LA by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Megan Feringa to discuss Day 13 at the World Cup. Harry Kane spurned a huge chance to win it at the death and keep pace in the Golden Boot race, whilst Ghana will feel aggrieved that they weren't awarded at least one penalty with Prince Adu being taken down by both Konsa and Pickford. In the other game in Group L it's the end of the road for Panama who despite a spirited performance, lost 1-0 to Croatia in Toronto. Meanwhile in Houston, Portugal beat Uzbekistan 5-0 and Cristiano is back with a bang. Natalie Gedra was there and drops in from Houston to speak Ronaldo and the Seleção. And in Guadlajara Colombia beat DR Congo 1-0 to go top of group K ahead of their game with Portugal on Friday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vinicius inspires Brazil on bleak day for Scotland

The Tartan Army have to play the waiting game after defeat to the Selecao in Miami. Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Phil Hay on the sofa in LA after Day 14 of the World Cup. A 3-0 loss for Scotland leaves them hoping to be one of the best 3rd placed teams. But the margin of defeat puts that in doubt and raises questions about manager Steve Clarke. South Africa’s shock victory over South Korea propels them into the round of 32 and reduces Scotland’s chances of qualification too. Bafana Bafana will play Canada in the round of 32 on Sunday, after the hosts lose 2-1 to Switzerland. Meanwhile Bosnia are look almost certain to play USA after their young guns down Qatar. Maher Mezahi watched Morocco progress to the next round after being a scare by Haiti while Ben Mabley is in Osaka looking ahead to Japan v Sweden. Plus traveling in self-driving cars and hiking with Rob Delaney. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bobbleheads on Spikes: The (Selfish) Case for Rules, with David Epstein

What the World Cup Can Teach the American Fan, with John Green and Daniel Alarcón

We are numb, as Americans, to the attention of the globe and the power structures of our sports leagues. But what if love of country could be simple again? And what if fans had more power than we thought? Pablo feels the football osmosis from the (banned) bestselling author and his old friend turned MacArthur Genius, as they offer a liberal-arts education in the beautiful game — from the fault in our superstar interviews to the damage wrought by Alexi Lalas upon our would-be Neymars and Messis. Plus: a pump-up speech that Ted Lasso would never, ever fantasize about. • Subscribe to "The Away End with Daniel Alarcón and John Green" • Previously on PTFO: How John Green Turned Celebrity into Obsessive Optimism • Subscribe to The Athletic Hosted on Acast.
