On the podcast today: England serve up a tough watch in the form of a goalless draw against Ghana. The first half must surely be one of the least eventful 45 minutes of football ever played.

Ghana defended brilliantly, while England’s subs made hardly any difference. With so little to discuss, won’t somebody think of the podcasters?

Elsewhere; Cristiano Ronaldo belatedly arrives at the World Cup with a brace against Uzbekistan, the first player to score in six World Cups.

Plus Croatia pip Panama, there’s a preview of the upcoming stack of games and your questions answered.
