25 June 2026
Available for over a year
Steve's American Road Trip rolls on - this week he's in Boston, necking the local beer and watching England take on Ghana. He swings by Graceland, gets stuck into some properly oversized American food, and brings us up to speed on all the World Cup news...
.
Back home, Bob takes Steve's lawnmower for an unauthorised spin, and Paul's got some shocking news from Sampson Electrics.
The lads run the rule over the Golden Boot race, weigh up Scotland's chances, show some love to underdogs Cape Verde, and size up football's managerial heavyweights from Ancelotti to Advocaat - but could any of them do it on a Tuesday night in the Imperial League?
Marcelo Bielsa, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi all get a mention in another packed edition of Games Gone.
Join us every Thursday throughout the summer for World Cup-themed episodes and keep an eye out for bonus livestreams taking you right to the heart of the tournament.
