Podcast of Ideas - World Cup special, episode 3
The team discuss England's prospects, Germany's exit and FIFA's interventions.
Adam Rawcliffe is joined by Alastair Donald, Geoff Kidder and Rob Lyons to discuss the latest from Russia 2018.
What do the team think about England’s dull defeat to Belgium? Have England landed themselves an easier path to the final? Is it right to celebrate Germany’s exit? Which are the standout games in the round of 16? And were FIFA right to criticise both players and supporters for ‘political’ gestures and chants?
