Episode WORLD CUP DAY 23: England kick off farce and Cape Verde drama

0:00 37:46

What a night of drama! FIFA threatened to change England's kick off time against Mexico due to storms only for discussions to break down, Matt Lawton joins Tom to offer the latest on a bizarre and farcical situation at this tournament.

Drama on the pitch too as Cape Verde come agonisingly close to beating Argentina, scoring some stunning goals in a 3-2 defeat. Paul Hirst reports from that thriller and James Gheerbrant watches Egypt beat Australia on penalties.

In part two Tom catches up with Martin Samuel to discuss England's hopes, French brilliance and his general tournament reflections.
