Ramble Reacts: Fathers against VAR

Stak
About this episode

Marcus, Vish and Pete jump on the mic straight after Tottenham’s chaotic stumble into the next round, thanks to Charlie Kane revving his motorbike around the streets of Marseille.


Elsewhere, two late Liverpool goals saw off Napoli and Atlético followed up on bottling the Champions League by bottling the Europa League. Somehow, we also stumble on England’s 55-man long list for the World Cup which apparently includes Callum Wilson, Danny Welbeck and 2001’s Michael Owen.
