What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. The good oil for Cobramers State. Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. Grown, harvested and first cold pressed in northern Victoria.
Welcome back, or welcome in if you're joining us for the first time. Sam Edmund, Tom Morris sitting in for Gary and Tim here on SEN Breakfast. Into the second hour we go. The McCafe menu, by the way. Try McCafe's new drinks range. Cora Mabilio from Champion Data. Mark Bosnich shortly with a FIFA World Cup update. Plenty of footy news ahead of us, but it has just finished in Atlanta. And for a nation well familiar with crushing sporting defeats, even for them, this is just pure devastation for England. They're going home. They're out. It's Argentina 2, England 1. That's how it finished. It'll be Spain and Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. They are absolutely shattered, the English, at the moment.
They led this game one goal to nil, 85 minutes in. So there was five minutes in stoppage time to go. Enzo Fernandez with a long-range strike and then Lautaro Martinez with the header, as you mentioned, Tommy, in the 92nd minute. They came with a furious charge, Argentina, and England couldn't live with it. And they're going home. 2-1, the loss in the semifinal.
They're going home, not it's coming home. Sammy, morning to you. Morning to everyone listening.
What was the immediate result and scoreline of Argentina vs England?
If you've just joined us. Heartbreak for England seems to be a common denominator in world tournaments, whether it's football or cricket. But Argentina, you've got to respect what they did. I know they scored twice. They hit the post a couple of times as well in the last 15 minutes. It was unreal to watch. Proper entertainment. Tears at the end, Lionel Messi. Tears of joy, tears of agony.
There's tears all over the pitch at the moment. Lionel Messi is, I guess, as jubilant as you've ever seen him. He's celebrating hard out there. He knows what a battle they've been in. David Beckham. Oh, poor Becks. Poor old Becks. His son, one of his sons. Yeah, absolutely shattered, as you can imagine. Not a lot of sympathy coming through on the 40 Wings temper text. Definitely a moral victory for England. I don't care what sport it is. I just love it when England get their pants pulled down, says Steve, and nothing better than seeing the Poms getting beaten in any sport from 195.
How did England's late collapse unfold in stoppage time?
So, yeah, not a huge amount of sympathy coming through on the text.
So Argentina versus Spain, the final, that looms large. That's about Monday morning. Yeah.
It would have been better if England had made it, though, wouldn't it? 5M. There's some real theatre in that.
So they won in 2022.
Which Argentina players produced the decisive goals and key moments?
Then they won in 1986 and 1978. So it would be their fourth win if they can win it. Spain has only won once in its history, in 2010. I think they've won a Euro along the way or two. I'm surprised that Spain hasn't won more, given the amount of star players they've had. But just part of me feels really sad for England for the same reasons we discussed before. Part of me thinks, what about the drama? Yeah. The drama was unbelievable. It was so, so good. Yeah.
And Thomas Tuchel, the England manager, will face a whole heap of questions as well for his approach and the tactics in the second half when England went in front. They just straight away, as you said, Tommy, parked the bus and they invited some trouble and trouble was exactly what they got. So anyway, Mark Bosnich is our guru, of course. He's going to join us. Former Aston Villa, former Socceroo gloveman, kept in for all the biggest clubs around the world, Manchester United. He's going to join us at 8.25 this morning. Done a fine job with Jordan Kanellis on the main channels, calling the action for ACN.
