The Football Daily Podcast. At the People World Cup 2026. With Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith. Hello and welcome to the Football Daily with me, Rick Edwards, and this gentleman, Lloyd Griffith. The headlines from... Hello. Oh yeah, sorry. Did I do that again or are you happy with that? I'm happy, yeah. Didn't think the hello was a little bit late? No. Okay. The headlines from today. Scotland beaten 3-0 by Brazil. That means they finished third in their group. Still have got a chance to qualify. Brazil topped that group. Morocco finished second. Switzerland beat Canada 2-1 to top Group B. Bosnia and Herzegovina beat Qatar 3-1 to secure third place in that group. South Africa beat South Korea 1-0 to finish second in that group.
It's not a great result for Scotland, actually, because it means that South Korea finished third with a better goal difference than Scotland. Mexico have topped the group, winning all three of their games. They're the only team to do that so far. They beat Czechia 3-0. Now, we have actually just finished a lovely chat with Kasper Schmeichel. Oh, a lovely man. Really nice man. Came over to our house. When he arrives, see, handshakes. Truthfully, the firmest handshake I've ever experienced. And everyone has agreed with that.
Have they?
Have they? Absolute crime. Oh, you've had harder, have you? Didn't. Like a vice. It was just a normal handshake. Yeah, you didn't notice. It was just two goalkeepers shaking hands. But I guess for you. Don't think he realised that. Essentially, you know, the hand of a grandpa.
A civilian.
A civilian. Civilian grandpa. Hand of a grandpa. Yeah, it just felt like a normal handshake to me. It did feel like my hand was sort of turning to dust in his grip. Yeah, it was painful. Bless you. Thank you. The other thing was, the only brief I think I gave you before the interview, because I knew you'd be excited because you love goalkeepers. Love them. And I just said, whatever you do, don't start showing him all your photos of goalkeeper clubs. Yes.
How do players recover from mistakes in high-stakes tournaments?
And at the end of the interview, what did you do? Well, we were just chatting about gloves and he was, you know, because the conversation... I don't think he brought the gloves up, did he? No, he did. He did, actually. Did he? Yeah, because we'll hear later, but he talked about getting gloves sent over from Germany and he seemed to know quite a lot. So I was like, are you into your gloves? He went, yeah, I am, actually. Is he into his gloves? Yeah, I think he might be. Well, you never know. I know goalkeepers that don't care. They just, I don't care, as long as they're white. I wear gardening gloves. we've seen it i mean not for a few hundred years but we've seen it um and then i was like actually i'm a bit of a goalkeeping glove nerd as well and i showed him the photos of a lot of gloves i've got a lot of his dad's old gloves which i've spent far too much of my future children's inheritance on on ebay just trying to get them so uh and oh we were honestly you couldn't stop us we were just like comparing couldn't stop you well we were just he was looking over at lizzie
No, no. He was like, wow, look at this legend. That's what he said. He'd go, wow, look at this guy. Have you seen his gloves? Yeah, and actually, we've got quite a few. I said, I've got quite a few of your dad's gloves. And he went, yes, I have. Yeah, it was good. And I was like, oh, OK. Well, I mean, yeah. What a creepy thing to say to a man, though. I've got quite a few of your dad's gloves. Yeah, obviously. Just take that in isolation. That is an insane thing to say to someone. If his dad was a surgeon, very weird. I've got some of your dad's gloves. Yeah, but that's fine. I didn't say it like that. You just did a bit.
