What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
From Los Angeles, it's Totally at the World Cup, Day 12, and here's what we're talking about today. Argentina-Austria brings Messi-mania. France beat team from Mesopotamia, with two more from Kylian Mbappe in a game featuring a two-hour hydration break. With Erling Haaland banging in a pair too in Norway's win over Senegal, we salute the aces with braces and look ahead to Tuesday with more familiar faces, Kane, possibly more rain, and possibly more pain. Monday evening in LA. Tuesday morning, I'm guessing, in UK as another totally football show gets underway from the World Cup. We've got Tom Williams with us. We've got Duncan Alexander with us. And welcome back, Laurie Whitwell.
What key performances did Messi and Mbappe deliver in their recent matches?
Lovely to see you, Laurie. Thank you for having me again. No, not at all. I think everyone was so delighted with your first appearance.
They were thrilled with my appearance last time. So, you know, left it a few days. Right. What are the appetite? But now I'm back.
England are on the field tomorrow, as you know.
I do know that.
So we're going to be previewing their game. We're also going to be hearing about your latest adventures here in USA land. What have you been up to this time?
Well, I went to Vegas since I've last seen you. Tough gig. Yeah. Honestly, editorial decision to send me wasn't my idea. Right. Go and find out what Vegas is like when the World Cup's on.
So specifically, you went to see a USA game in a very unusual circumstance. This is stadium swim. Stadium swim. We like stadiums. We like swimming. In Vegas, you can do the two things at the same time.
Bring them together. People were doing it as well. They were in the pools. They were cheering their team. They were drinking. with USA cowboy hats, sparkly ties, USA dungarees. There was lots of stars and stripes everywhere you looked. But yeah, it was a good atmosphere.
I'm sure it was. I mean, it looks fantastic in a way. Not for everyone, probably, but yes.
Theoretically, you can do that at Fulham now, because they've got a swimming pool.
They do, don't they? Or this Monday, you could do that in that France... Yes. The France-Iraq game. Yeah, we'll be getting on to that with that massive rain delay. Is there going to be more of that in the days to come? What we also saw was that it was raining goals. Raining goals, Tom, on this Monday. All the different kinds of rain.
what a go and boot race we're set up for yeah incredible Messi got a brace today Mbappé got a brace Haaland got a brace woof yeah I mean we reflected on this after the first round of matches how great it was that practically all of the superstars turned up for the first matches and they've all turned up again today which one do you remind me Cristiano Ronaldo was slightly underwhelming in his opening fixture. But, I mean, everyone else showed up and, yeah, and they've produced the goods once again. It's been another incredible day.
All right. Don't forget David and Undab. They have been magnificent. Leo Messi, though, leading the way. Argentina have scored five goals and he has claimed all of them, Laurie.
Yeah. Yeah.
How did England prepare for their match against Ghana?
I mean, broke the record today, didn't he? Went above. Miroslav Klose, Mr. Penn even doing so, could have had another hat-trick back-to-back. Yeah, that was my moment of the day in terms of him. I don't know if I'm going too early there, James.
No, let's have a moment of the day.
Yeah, love that. Okay, so which of his... Is it one of his two goals you're going to go for? It's his first one, yeah. I mean, the second one was brilliant just because it felt like, how's he scored from there? You know, that kind of determination that he's got late in the game. But that first one... I just thought the way that Argentina built up into that moment, they clearly know their roles in this team. Almada, I wondered if he'd had a shout from Messi to leave it. He's a brilliant dummy, but I think he checks his shoulder.
What unique experience did the host have in Las Vegas during the World Cup?
I think he knows that he's in space behind him so he can get onto Medina's pass. Medina's pass sorry and slot it into the back of the net but I was a little bit he was giving a lot of space I wasn't anticipating that much space there was Paul Wanner who was sort of letting him run sort of free we didn't really track him didn't want it enough is where I'm building to this one there James I don't I know you do the puns better than me but I thought I'd try and chip in so yeah but it was a great moment and obviously I think the whole world have been perhaps waiting for this and enjoying it
