Natalie Sawyer is joined by former Scotland assistant manager Mark McGhee and commentator Joe Shennan following a monumental night of World Cup football as Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal crashed out and Belgium hammered the hosts, the USA.

The team debate whether we have officially seen the last of Cristiano Ronaldo on a World Cup pitch after Portugal's heartbreaking exit to Spain and whether never winning a World Cup has damaged Ronaldo's legacy.

They also delve into the drama surrounding Belgium’s 4-1 win over the USA, asking if justice was finally served after the Folarin Balogun red card saga as Donald Trump even weighed in - we'll hear from him in the episode.

PLUS they also give their reflections on England’s historic victory over Mexico at the Azteca, dissecting how Thomas Tuchel’s side dug deep to overcome the elements and the hosts in their own backyard.
