Phil Thompson | England vs Croatia Preview & Tuchel's Potential Bellingham Issue

The World Cup is in full swing, and there’s plenty to unpack this week.

With Natalie away covering Scotland, Simon Crabtree steps in as host alongside Sam and former England defender Phil Thompson as they break down the biggest talking points from the tournament so far and look ahead to England’s opening clash with Croatia.

The team begin by discussing Brazil’s victory over Morocco, their chances of lifting the trophy, and David Ornstein’s comments on Casemiro.

They then turn their attention to England vs Croatia, analysing the leaked England XI, debating potential changes Thomas Tuchel could make, and discussing whether Jude Bellingham deserves a place in the starting lineup.

There’s also a discussion around Scotland’s start to their campaign, how far they can go in the competition, and Roy Keane’s explosive and 'harsh' remarks about John McGinn.

To round things off, the panel assess the job Graham Potter has done with Sweden, react to Jürgen Klopp’s damning comments on the drinks breaks, and answer the question every England fan wants to know: is football finally coming home?
