How does the episode open with sponsor message and World Cup investing tie‑in?
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. And this summer, XTB is making it easy to get started.
If you sign up with XTB, enter the code PITCHSIDE and deposit £50 within the first seven days of opening an account, you could get a free share of Nike.
Yep, a free Nike share and get it cheaper than a Nike jersey with XTB. You can't directly invest in the football chaos this summer, but you can gain exposure to some of the massive brands involved in it, like Nike. So while you and your mates are getting invested in all the football chaos, why not take your first step into investing too? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday, dear Louis. Happy birthday to you.
One more time. Happy birthday. No. Tom, well done for joining in the rendition of Happy Birthday there.
Do you have any kind words to say to your... I didn't want to ruin it because I'll be off, weren't I? Oh, you'd be out of sync, wouldn't you?
Do you have any kind words for your dear friend, Louis Bowden, on his day of birth?
I didn't actually know it was his birthday. Happy birthday, mate.
How old are you today?
I'm 28. Jesus, tough paragraph, isn't it?
Or as someone else said the other day, oh, we're petty, you're 34.
No, no, so actually, so Theo's last asked me, she was like, oh, Lewis, how old are you? And I was like, oh, 28. And she paused for a second and went, oh.
Oh, I was just about to say, the worst reaction is, oh.
Oh.
Yeah, it was like so hard. I was like, surely that reaction was terrible.
Nah, you look good, man, for your age. No, I don't. I'm getting a transplant. You are getting a transplant and you look far better.
This trip's aged well on you, man. Yeah, has it?
Has it?
Why do the hosts react to Lewis’s birthday and set the informal tone of the show?
He'll have the liver of an 80-year-old.
Mate, honestly, I've just came off the back of the world's worst flu. I've had diarrhea for six weeks. It's fucking brutal.
But that is obviously the famous New York diarrhea illness.
Oh, yeah, the classic.
I told you about that. Oh, Tommy, you all right? Yeah. Everything all right? He's caught. Oh, he looked like you were about to... Oh, mate, it's got straight across the... Oh, my God, it's got the internet. It's got straight through the mic. It's across the Atlantic. The quarterfinals are done, which means the semifinals are up next. England face Argentina. But before we get on to that, lads, you lot obviously want some tactical analysis from pitch side rather than some junk... gobblery gook and Reeves shouting over Lewis and Lewis saying let me finish let me finish for two and then 20 minutes so we brought in Tom to give us his tactical analysis on Jude Bellingham I thought of Jude Bellingham or the team no no do England as a whole because everyone knows how good Jude is yeah I think I thought we were crap
Thank you. But I never felt like we were going to lose at any stage. I thought we'd always find a way. I thought they looked really tired and I thought they were slow. Declan Rice is ill, obviously, but he should be fine for the game. He has what I have.
He might do, you know. By the way, if he has what I have, I am so impressed he managed to get out a bit.
It's food poisoning. Tom, can I ask, you know, because we sort of had this mini discussion in the last one. Is this not almost a credit to Norway? Did Norway just play good? Because if you go for each player around the England team, no one actually had a bad game.
Yeah, but no one – like, even Jude didn't have, like, a great game. He had two great moments, obviously, but none of them had a great game. None of them – I don't think anyone played that well. I don't think Pickford had a particularly good game. I thought they were quite – Norway shouldn't be dominating large parts of the game, in my opinion, and pinning us back. They shouldn't be able to do that.
