Dog champagne | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Cape Verde, take a bow gentlemen. The curtain falls on their first World Cup appearance, but take nothing away from them - they have been outstanding this tournament. So to give them the credit they truly deserve, on today's show we discuss a big fluffy dog wearing ear defenders in the stands.

Pete tells Luke and David why he isn't convinced those ear defenders were actually covering that dog's ears. Plus, the remarkable size of little Mat Ryan & a chaotic five hours for our England boys.
