Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 7.102 Pete Donaldson

It's beans, beans, beans. We're having some beans, beans, beans. We should start the football ramble and do a little sort of harmony.

0

7.363 - 7.663 Jim Campbell

Go on then.

0

8.445 - 21.686 Pete Donaldson

I got... Yeah, but you can sing. I can't sing. Yeah, I can't really either. Can you give us the notes for a harmony, please? Football ramble. Ramble. Ramble.

0

22.107 - 26.494 Jim Campbell

It's not bad. It's fine. It's okay. Let's do one more. Let's do one more.

0

27.098 - 34.175 Luke Moore

Ramble. Ramble. Ramble. I'm slightly off there.

34.195 - 36.6 Jim Campbell

That was a harder note to do. Shall I start one? It's in thirds.

36.681 - 43.888 Luke Moore

You've got to do it in thirds. Ramble. I don't know what that is. My voice is too deep.

43.908 - 47.853

Give us a note. My voice is too deep. Come on. I've got a big fucking ball.

47.873 - 51.958 Jim Campbell

We have all the time in the world. I could do Louis Armstrong. Do you want to hear it?

Chapter 2: What surprising outcome occurred in the Ecuador vs. Germany match?

367.821 - 371.127 Jim Campbell

They awarded the penalty and they overturned it because there was a foul on the build-up.

0

371.147 - 375.836 Luke Moore

A really obvious foul as well. Like a proper sort of, you know, just essentially just kick to the shin.

0

375.856 - 379.322 Jim Campbell

But you think kicking the head would be obvious. Fair. You can't take that for granted.

0

379.342 - 384.632 Luke Moore

So, I mean, by that measure, the standard improved quite dramatically. It did. So that's something.

0

384.612 - 387.977 Jim Campbell

I also found this game to be tremendously entertaining.

388.178 - 391.803 Luke Moore

Yes. It was one of the most competitive games we've seen in the whole tournament, I think. Oh, Ecuador.

391.823 - 394.247 Pete Donaldson

I mean, Beccaseza just set them up for some bloody hard work.

394.568 - 399.055 Jim Campbell

Don't just say his name fast because you're not sure about it. Say his name properly. Beccaseza. Beccaseza. Is that how you say it?

399.075 - 404.263 Pete Donaldson

Well, it's Italian. Beccaceza. But it's Beccaseza because he's been in Argentina. So he's Beccaseza.

Chapter 3: How did the refereeing decisions impact the game?

531.97 - 532.571 Jim Campbell

No, you're not.

0

532.731 - 550.816 Pete Donaldson

Your cot's going to fall out. No, I was going to my mother's nursery and I was wearing shorts. Like, remember Aldi did that range of shorts that had like Aldi branding on them. So I've got a pair of Aldi shorts. Don't look at me like I should know that. And I got in the nursery and I was like, you can see all my business here. Sorry, everybody.

0

550.876 - 561.149 Jim Campbell

I'm in the nursery. Greg's do clothes as well. I do. What, in the shop? I'm not sure if they do them in the shop. It was a Primark JV. So we established on the Luke and Pete show last week that Pete's ideal outfit is like a barrel.

0

562.09 - 572.583 Pete Donaldson

Yeah, just because you remember in the 80s, remember the 80s, like the short hand from being destitute is you'd wear a barrel with straps over the shoulder. Even though it doesn't really work as clothes and you never see the image anymore.

0

572.603 - 573.885 Jim Campbell

Barrels aren't cheap.

573.865 - 574.746 Pete Donaldson

No, exactly.

574.766 - 584.455 Jim Campbell

How do these men end up in these barrels? I don't know. These days the barrels are expensive because there's hardly any of them left. They used to be everywhere back in the day. But imagine Pete gets a gig, touchline reporter for the World Cup.

584.515 - 586.797 Pete Donaldson

I forgot my claws have been confiscated.

586.857 - 599.628 Jim Campbell

Or your bag was lost on British Airways. Or they're too thin and they've split. See, I'm a business. So across now is touchline reporter Pete Donaldson who's going to give us some team news. Cuts to Pete, barrel, braces and a little barrel hat.

Chapter 4: What were the reactions to the disallowed penalty in the match?

830.731 - 842.556 Pete Donaldson

Same Birdman as before? No, because that's Colombian. Oh, it's Colombian? Of course it is, yeah. Jiminy Cricket. Well, unless he's flown to a new nest. He could have just emigrated, I guess. Maybe he's invaded another person's nest.

0

842.797 - 844.16 Jim Campbell

Like a cuckoo. Like a birdman's nest.

0

844.18 - 845.202 Pete Donaldson

Like a cuckoo. Cuckoo, yeah.

0

845.182 - 852.15 Jim Campbell

A cuck nest. A cuck nest. That's where cuck comes from, isn't it? Really? Yeah, cuckoo. Because cuckoos invade other people's nests, don't they?

0

852.33 - 863.242 Pete Donaldson

Where does cuckoo come from? I think that's something different. Different guy. Different guy. Well, Ecuador last reached the knockouts in 2006 when they lost 1-0 to England. As things stand, we will be facing them, Ecuador.

863.282 - 871.452 Jim Campbell

David Beckham scored that goal in 2006, guys. He held one from a long way out. That's a win and end. Might have been. Might as well have been. Might as well have been.

871.472 - 883.548 Pete Donaldson

Yeah, I remember it well. Yeah, well, elsewhere, Curaçao were beaten quite handily by Ivory Course from Arsenal and Nicolas Pepe got a double at the centre. Debutants Curaçao home. It was all pretty rudimentary stuff, wasn't it, Jim?

883.568 - 888.975 Luke Moore

Yeah, I think if Pepe keeps playing like that, he could get a big money move somewhere. LAUGHTER

888.955 - 912.533 Luke Moore

a couple of nice finishes Diamande looked very threatening again I mean yeah this is always going to be a stretch for Curacao I wasn't just trying to get anything from it but this is massive for Ivory Coast the first time they've reached the knockout stages in the World Cup and they've been really unlucky with groups in the past and they've done brilliantly here how do you how do we assess Curacao's campaign I mean obviously you don't want to be patronising about them but they got a point they scored a goal

Chapter 5: What were the highlights of the Japan vs. Tunisia game?

1538.197 - 1540.62 Pete Donaldson

There's a lot of Sunderland players knocking them in. We need to start Endor. Yeah.

0

1540.6 - 1563.739 Jim Campbell

they're going to have a terrible start to the season though they're all going to be knackered exactly Henderson plays for Brentford Pete yeah I know but he's from Sunderland that doesn't count so we go we haven't got any Sunderland players in the squad do you know who was also born in Sunderland Lionel Messi he was raised by the Navy confusing made in the Royal Navy made in the Royal Navy

0

1563.719 - 1576.485 Pete Donaldson

Skiri's own goal takes the tally of Oggies in this World Cup to 12, equaling the total in 2018, which is the record. Two in this game. We're not even out of the bloody group stages.

0

1576.506 - 1580.614 Luke Moore

Yeah, but there have been 400 more games than in any other regular World Cup, though.

0

1580.594 - 1589.99 Pete Donaldson

More teams, more games, more records. I still feel like it's higher. I still feel like if you sort of worked out the mean game per own goal, I think it's still way higher as well.

1590.01 - 1595.419 Luke Moore

Sure. I think it comes from Genesi being dazzled by that orange kit, right? Both those own goals.

1595.479 - 1617.722 Jim Campbell

There's got to be a point where you have to say, this is too distracting. it's too distracting to be that bright I believe those suffering from colour blindness are delighted with it because it means it's easy for them but I think it does come to a point where it's a bit too I was saying to Marcus the other day you might have been there Peter a team should experiment with wearing a Vantablack kit

1617.702 - 1619.744 Pete Donaldson

Oh, like as black as anything can be.

1619.844 - 1625.009 Jim Campbell

So it would almost be like playing against a vortex. You wouldn't be able to get any depth of perception.

Chapter 6: How did the hydration breaks affect gameplay in this World Cup?

2962.205 - 2983.774 Pete Donaldson
