About this episode

England's World Cup campaign is up and running after a 4-2 victory over Croatia.

Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith react alongside Paul Robinson, who was at the stadium to witness England's opening win. The team discuss Jude Bellingham's standout display after admitting he had a chip on his shoulder heading into the tournament, while Harry Kane once again showed why he's England's talisman on the biggest stage.

They are also joined by Royal Oak Sunday League manager Steve Bracknall, who made the trip to watch England at a World Cup for the very first time. Fresh from what he describes as the best day of his life, Steve shares his experiences of following the fans and soaking up the atmosphere around the match... from his bed.

Plus, with Kane, Messi and Mbappé all on the scoresheet already, why is Cristiano Ronaldo still waiting for his first World Cup goal?
