Now, time to thank our partner of this episode, XTB. Now, boys, the game is starting and you know what that means. Your investing should too. If you think about it, football and investing actually have a lot in common. It's about backing your picks, playing the long game and hopefully making some smart decisions along the way.

69.227 - 71.65 Lewis Bowden

We can see you. We can see your lovely face.

71.67 - 75.195

So we're like, the voice is in your head. We talk to you.

75.435 - 80.242 Lewis Bowden

We can also see what kind of disgraceful shirt that is for the England preview.

80.282 - 81.704

You want to see us sexy, don't you?

81.824 - 85.489 Jack Mate

We're in a Spanish shirt, is that? You're going to have to speak one by one if I can't see you.

Chapter 2: How is the England football team preparing for the World Cup?

141.151 - 147.281 Jack Mate

I thought Jamal was good when he came on, but they looked so bad without him. Like Torres, absolute garbage.

0

147.582 - 153.973 Lewis Bowden

Do you think it's just a slow start for the Spanish or are you confident they're going to still make the final in your opinion?

0

154.253 - 155.335 Jack Mate

I still think they'll win it.

0

156.344 - 160.491

Damn, he's doubling down. What do you think of the Cape Verde keeper, though, Brian? He was unbelievable, no?

0

160.651 - 181.744 Jack Mate

Yeah, I thought Cape Verde did basically what they could. They probably should have scored, actually, at the end from the corner. They should have scored at the end, yeah, 100%. Oh, I don't know, actually. It was a tough header, but I thought they played well. They did well. Thoughts on Qatar scoring a goal? Yeah, I mean, I'm amazed they scored a goal, to be honest. Fair play to them.

181.977 - 187.425 Tom Garratt

Who's been your play of the tournament so far? Like standout performance, best goal. What have you really enjoyed so far?

187.805 - 193.173 Jack Mate

I think the best game I've watched so far is Ecuador against Ivory Coast.

195.436 - 196.318 Lewis Bowden

Interesting. The 1-0.

196.578 - 208.991 Jack Mate

Yeah, that was really fun, I thought. I think Ecuador hit the bar like four times in the first half. Best goal. Oh. Give me some I can't think. What do you not think?

Chapter 3: What are the latest updates on the England squad for the World Cup?

756.984 - 757.585 Tom Garratt

Is that why?

0

757.705 - 784.951 Jack Mate

I really think he suits the England style. He's just so direct. We need players who are going to run beyond Kane. To be fair, Saka doesn't do that as much as Manueki. Obviously, Saka's a better player, but... Everything about Saka the last few days is weird, what I've been reading. I just... I don't know. I thought he was fine. Yeah, but the reports are like mecking out like it's bad.

784.971 - 787.016 Jack Mate

I don't know.

0

787.036 - 790.102

It could be fatigue as well, just from like a... Yeah, it's weird.

0

790.122 - 790.583 Jack Mate

Who knows?

790.904 - 797.378

Who knows? But do you know what? I really think Madweke up against Perisic, who's how old now?

797.578 - 798.641 Jack Mate

He's got to be 25. A million.

798.741 - 810.514

25. Yeah, he's like a million years old. He's 37, boys. Do you know what I mean? I know he'll have cover with Cavadi on that left-hand side, but I just think a direct runner like Madweki can happen.

810.654 - 814.418 Jack Mate

I think Madweki's going to be really important for England this tournament.
