What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Welcome to The Good, The Bad and The Football, sponsored by Midnight, the betting app that's built different. Joining us today, ex-England legend, Liverpool legend and scorer of one of England's greatest ever goals. But most people these days all know him for his rapping. John Burns, welcome pal. When we talk about World Cup songs, we're going to do a thing called family fortunes later on. So we asked fans of the show, the subscribers, to vote on things.

What were the highlights of England's victory over Croatia?

And we're going to do England's greatest World Cup song, but we're saving it for the end of the pod. So I'll chat to you more about that later. A little teaser there, Paddy. A little teaser, yeah. Now, before we get into it, I was watching the game last night, as we all were, on my own. So normally, you know, England game, I'll have a few people round or I'll go to a mate's house and what have you. Half time came, do you know what I had? You think a beer and a bag of crisps, some nuts. Solero. Ice cream. A Solero, lads. Is that ice cream? Yeah. Oh, it's a lolly. Ice lolly. An ice lolly. It's got the ice cream in it, though, hasn't it? It's got the ice cream in the middle. No, you're on about a twister. No, I'm not.
No, I'm talking about the colours.

Why is there a debate about dropping Cristiano Ronaldo from the Portugal squad?

There's mango on it and then inside's ice cream. I couldn't tell you last time I had one. But when you revisit a lolly or something that you've not had for years and you forget how good they are. Now, if you're going to the freezer and you're getting a lolly out that you've not had for years, what would be a lolly where you go, this takes me back?
John Barnes 1:40
I wonder why it's been in the freezer for years, to be honest with you. Well, them's the ice ones. You know, you always have a box of them ice ones. No, but look, you're talking about a summer, aren't you? Because in the winter, you never have a lolly watching a football match, would you?

What factors contribute to a successful Premier League Combined XI?

John Barnes 1:50
During the season when it's in the winter.
No, but I would have a Cornetto. in winter yeah i don't see that as i see because he's got a bit of biscuit wrapped around a corner so i see that and the kids like these oreo club sandwiches that's not that's a bit of an ice cream but you can i have no idea what you're on about i did have an ice cream the other day in london it was unbelievable but if i was going to the free i used to love a feast you know the chocolate feast with a bit of chocolate in the middle
John Barnes 2:14
Absolutely sensational, Oli. Dolce de leche ice cream is what I used to have. And they don't do it anymore in Tesco's. I should maybe not have said that, I don't know. Because what they do, and they do it in Tesco's, what they do is they take away things that are too popular. And because you are so popular, they don't do it anymore.
Hang on a minute. This feels like a conspiracy theory to me. You're telling me if something's popular at the supermarket, the supermarket go, we're making far too much money on that. No, no, no, no, no, no.
John Barnes 2:38
You know why? Because they don't buy anything else. Can't forget they've got lots of stuff and you're just going to buy this one ice cream the rest of the afternoon.
And it's not their own label. It's somebody else's.

How do players' past performances influence their current selections?

So they're making money for somebody else.
John Barnes 2:47
I'm telling you, Park and Dahl, Dolce de Leche, they stopped doing it. There was a five pound bottle of rosé wine as well that they stopped doing. A little rosé wine. And because maybe I bought all of it. Seriously, if you go along the aisles and if people just buy the one thing, they have to stop doing it because nothing else gets sold. Do you know what?
I actually think you're onto something. Because I used to buy for the kids, they were called micro fries. They're like in a little red box. You put them in the microwave a minute. The kids, look, they've stopped doing them. Sorry, fries to go, they're called, these ones. They do the McCain jobs in the box where you shake the box. These were in little individual things, one shape. They were called fries to go. And you're absolutely right. I used to stock up and I used to see everyone get it. Stop doing them. Yeah. He's on to something.
