Steve Bracknall, Paul Sampson and Bob the Bucket host a live stream reacting to the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stages.
They reacted to all the action from the final round of the groups, as England confirm their Round of 32 vs DR Congo, but will Tuchel's right back problems continue to haunt them? Scotland's run comes to an end with Steve Clarke resigning as manager.
