0.031 - 8.094 Marcus Speller

Open wide for some soccer, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. Mexico are through and Canada gubbed Qatar. It's Friday, 19th of June.

Chapter 2: What surprising events occurred in the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches?

8.154 - 30.131 Marcus Speller

I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Luke Moore. And I'm Pete Donaldson. Hello, everybody. It's Friday. Who cares when it's the World Cup? Every day's Friday.

0

30.191 - 38.928 Pete Donaldson

Every day does feel the same. It does. For us, every day feels the same, doesn't it? I'm going to have a bit of World Cup and a battered sausage. Oh, yeah. That's how we know it's Friday. It's every Friday.

0

38.949 - 47.242 Luke Moore

Because a dance and battered sausage WhatsApp message comes through about, what, 6.30? Yeah. I can't get enough of it. Did you walk into the chip shop now and they just go, here he is, just wrap it up for you?

0

47.262 - 53.889 Pete Donaldson

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy has returned to me a pair of Bluetooth headphones on more than one occasion that I've left there. How are you doing that?

0

53.909 - 57.133 Luke Moore

Aren't you taken away? What? Aren't you taken away? You're not even eating in there, are you?

57.153 - 63.88 Pete Donaldson

Yeah, but I left, I think I took them out to receive my fish and chips and I left my Bluetooth headphones twice in the fish and chips shop.

63.9 - 71.949 Luke Moore

You know, there's nothing more brutal as a British person than walking into an emporium, whether it be a chip shop or a pub and going, the usual, and they go, what's that? Yeah, nice.

71.969 - 73.732 Pete Donaldson

So you don't get too overconfident about it.

73.752 - 76.856 Luke Moore

No, I know, I know. So he'll just, what do you have? Just battered sausage?

Chapter 3: How did Canada perform in their World Cup opener?

608.574 - 609.556 Luke Moore

So it can work either way.

0

609.596 - 611.94 Marcus Speller

So Jesse Marsh is going to be around with a manager?

0

611.96 - 620.03 Luke Moore

I mean, I have to... He'd like to think so. I'll tell you what, wouldn't put it past him. On the Marsh thing... Like, I'm broadly not a supporter of the man.

0

620.23 - 621.792 Marcus Speller

No, I think he's an idiot.

0

622.312 - 639.047 Luke Moore

But I do think he is within his rights to be annoyed about the situation. He's obviously going to be upset that a player he's worked very closely with has been badly injured. I don't know what his view of the challenge was. He may not have all the information because he may not have seen it back or whatever.

639.508 - 643.291 Luke Moore

And him and Lopetegui had a bit of a coming together at the end and marched him to get pissed off.

643.311 - 646.414 Pete Donaldson

It looked like they were friends for a bit, didn't they? And then they just sort of turned on each other.

646.394 - 656.93 Luke Moore

What it looked like to me was Lopetegui was trying to explain something quite complicated in the second language, and Marsh was listening for ages. And then he just got pissed off. He just threw his hand away, didn't he? Ah, shit your fucking mouth.

656.95 - 658.395 Marcus Speller

I'm not going to go to West Ham.

Chapter 4: What were the implications of the red cards during the matches?

834.075 - 838.985 Luke Moore

There was four of them. Everyone lost their minds. That was one of the most amazing occasions.

0

839.065 - 840.549 Marcus Speller

It was so good. The Battle of Nuremberg.

0

840.749 - 842.653 Luke Moore

Maneesh scored the winner. They won 1-0 Portugal, didn't they?

0

842.633 - 846.62 Marcus Speller

Was it the most keenly contested thing that's ever happened in Nuremberg? I wouldn't have thought so, no.

0

846.76 - 852.871 Luke Moore

I wouldn't have thought so. Would you say that was keenly contested? The game was. I'm talking about football.

852.911 - 853.492 Marcus Speller

I know you are.

853.853 - 861.747 Luke Moore

I stick to football. Have you ever known anyone with more dog whistles than Marcus? He hasn't even got a dog. He can't fit them in his mouth.

861.767 - 866.756 Marcus Speller

I know, exactly. Hasn't even got a dog. But it's all about the whistles. It's like an airhead siren.

866.876 - 867.477 Pete Donaldson

Yeah, it is.

Chapter 5: What are the chances of Canada advancing in the tournament?

982.566 - 986.353 Marcus Speller

I don't own a dog currently, but I always grew up in a house with a dog for many, many years.

0

986.373 - 988.096 Luke Moore

Would Winston have ever rubbed his nuts on anyone?

0

988.597 - 1005.272 Marcus Speller

If requested enough. Right. Which, of course, he wasn't. There was a trick in it. There was a trick in it. He was a bloody good boy. Pete's face is the treat. Oh, dear. Anyway, should we talk about Johan Manzambi? He scored the opener three minutes after coming off the bench. They used their bench wisely.

0

1005.633 - 1011.707 Luke Moore

Yeah, let's put it another way. Manzambi has just secured himself a £55 million move to Chelsea. Definitely.

0

1011.687 - 1013.351 Marcus Speller

Definitely.

1013.752 - 1016.959 Luke Moore

By scoring two goals off the bench for Switzerland against Bosnia.

1017.16 - 1019.746 Marcus Speller

Yes. Yakin looks great, doesn't he?

1019.846 - 1041.486 Luke Moore

He looks good. The highlight of the game for me, by the way... He looked happy as well. He did. But the... He looks a bit like Zlatko Dalic. Yeah. It's like a very reminiscent of that. Anyway. I forget his brother's name. I don't know. Okay. Stop asking me questions. You know I don't know the answers on the show. That's Jim's job. Sorry.

1041.907 - 1052.946 Luke Moore

The highlight of the game for me was that overhead kick from Ndoi. I've never seen an overhead kick like it. As in, obviously the keeper saves it, so it'll be forgotten.

Chapter 6: How did Switzerland turn their performance around against Bosnia?

2304.925 - 2310.135 Luke Moore

He looks a bit like... I think he looks very good. He looks like Chuck Norris. Oh, he does! In Walker, Texas Ranger.

0

2310.176 - 2314.424 Marcus Speller

He absolutely does. He does. Yes, I like that shout. The belt buckle, he's got it all.

0

2314.504 - 2316.208 Pete Donaldson

He's got it sorted. Have we ever seen him looking happier?

0

2316.548 - 2316.709 Marcus Speller

No.

0

2317.19 - 2329.872 Pete Donaldson

This buckle can't end. He's done no coaching of the team. No. He's just knocking about. He's just wrangling cattle. He's just coming... It's just a montage of him in, like, a Hollywood film coming out of, like, dressing rooms going, hmm?

2329.893 - 2335.882 Luke Moore

They come down in the morning, the hotel, anyone seen the gaffer? No. In the background through a window, he's riding the bull.

2336.182 - 2346.118 Marcus Speller

Do you know what, right? You know in those training sessions that they would say, like, I don't know if Hodgson did this or some other managers, where they would quite literally put a tyre rope around, like, the two defensive midfielders. Right, yeah, yeah.

2346.138 - 2348.401 Luke Moore

And so you've got to... Saki used to do that.

2348.421 - 2357.906 Marcus Speller

Oh, did he? Right, okay. All right, so the best at it, right? The best at it. Potter's thinking, boys, I'm going to do that. All right, where's the rope? Don't worry. Blassoos them. Wild hogs.
