What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
From Los Angeles, it's Totally at the World Cup as the second week of action gets underway.
What historic win did Canada achieve against Qatar?
Canada rock when they play Qatar, 6-0 in Vancouver, but lose Ismail Kony to a broken leg. The Swiss on a roll as they get out of neutral with a 4-1 win over Bosnia.
How did Switzerland perform against Bosnia-Herzegovina?
And with Mexico becoming the first side to put their place in the last 32, it's been a big day of action.
What are the implications of Mexico's qualification for the knockout stage?
Thursday night in Los Angeles, very much Friday morning in the United Kingdom. This is totally at the World Cup. On board today, we have that Tom Williams. And Duncan Alexander. Hi to you both.
What is the latest news on the USA and Scotland's qualification chances?
Hello, James.
Hello.
Tom's been down to the sofa today.
How did Ismael Kone's injury impact Canada's victory?
Check out a bit of the action there. Switzerland against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Duncan, you and I have been marvelling at the host nations who continue their unbeaten run.
Like a parasite, I love strong hosts.
What was Jonathan David's performance in the match against Qatar?
So it's great to see them all progressing apace.
and Parasite of course which was named best film at the Oscars in this here town right a Korean film that was a win for Korea I mean should we call it a day or that let's call it a day I'll read out some results and then we can get into your moment of the day and then we'll hear what actually happened out on the football fields of World Cup 2026 the results though eh
It all began today with another contender for worst match of the tournament, Czech Republic against South Africa. Duncan will be giving us his thoughts shortly. The game then in Group B that Tom went to, Switzerland against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
How do Canada and Switzerland compare heading into their next matches?
4-1 for the Swiss that. Then all sorts of drama in Vancouver in the other Group B match. Canada 6-0 winners over Qatar. But what a terrible looking injury for their Ismail Koneh. And it finished off with the game down in Guadalajara as Mexico beat South Korea 1-0, as mentioned, booking their spot in the knockout stages as group winners already with a game to spare. Remarkable stuff. Let's get a moment of the day. What do you say, Tom Williams?
Going to go for Johan Manzambi's second goal for Switzerland against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the game that I attended at SoFi Stadium. Switzerland struggling to break down obdurate Bosnian opposition. Fairly sleepy encounter until this guy comes on in the 72nd minute. Within two minutes, he's smashed in a volley to put Switzerland 1-0 up. He then adds a second to make it 3-0 at the culmination of this lovely sweeping team move. No-look pass from Granit Xhaka, who was tremendous from start to finish. Cross comes in from fellow substitute Ruben Vargas and Manzambi's side foot's home. making him the youngest player in World Cup history to score two goals in a match after coming off the bench. And had Granit Xhaka not somewhat selfishly insisted on taking the Swiss penalty at the end of the game, he could have become the third youngest hat-trick scorer in World Cup history as well.
But not a bad day.
Not a bad day all the same. A star is born. Okay. We'll hear about your thoughts about the Swiss in general after an impressive performance from the Cantonaers, as I like to call them, Duncan, your moment of the day?
Yeah, my moment's a less stylish moment, I would say. It was in Canada's thumping 6-0 win against Qatar. It was the fifth goal. Al-Manai, a terrible day for the Al-Manai sphere because... And Sheffield Berg had a shot and it was going wide. But he was in, you know, you can see him there. He had time to control it. He had time to maybe kick it out of play, siphon it out of play. What he actually tried to do was launch out of the stadium and it sliced off his foot into the net.
And those are the best kind of own goal. When a defender could do any number of different things with the ball, but somehow conspires to just... thunder into their own air shades of wayne hatswell for the own goal heads out there yeah look it up if you're unfamiliar it will be wayne ten second wayne hatswell in the fa cup a few years ago my personal favorite own goal of all time all right similar not part of the same subgenre brass i think it's the ultimate when he yeah it's hard to do better face and breaks his own nose i think so yeah
