The Transfer Flow Podcast

The Round of 32 delivered chaos. We break down Balogun's red card and what it means for USMNT vs Belgium, why England's win over DR Congo left us with real concerns, and how France are quietly the scariest team left in the tournament. Plus Brazil survive Japan, Mexico's altitude threat to England, and transfer talk on Said El Mala to Liverpool and Chelsea's move for a Spanish left back.

England and Brazil got screwed by the World Cup draw. We break down who's got the best route to the final, who's got the worst, and how things changed after the group stage. Things are bad for Brazil, things are looking up for the USA, and England are about to find out what the Azteca feels like. Then we get into transfers: Elliot Anderson's £116m move to Manchester City, Gonzalo Ramos swapping PSG for Milan, and Arsenal's interest in Bruno Guimarães.
