Matt Forde is alongside 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit and comedian Jacob Hawley to unpack England's dramatic victory over DR Congo in the last 32 of the World Cup.
Despite the win there is serious concerns over England's defence and inability to break down a stubborn defence
But on the plus side, they do have Harry Kane, who everyone agrees is capable of taking England deep into the tournament on his own.
Away from England we ask Emmanuel if there is any weaknesses surrounding his beloved France side, and who would win in a fantasy match between this French team and Petit's World Cup winning side in 1998
And we pick our winners and losers from the last few days too!

Danny expresses his concern over the lack of creativity in the side and also shares concern for the lack of depth at left back which he fears could be exposed heading into the knockout stages.
Elsewhere, we ask if two goals against Uzbekistan is enough to change to perception on Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi magic continues and how far can Norway go with Haaland and Odegaard in their side?
