Game's Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast16 Jul

Football's Not Coming Home - ENGLAND crash out to Argentina & Messi Masterclass

The dream is over. Steve's American adventure comes to an end as England fall to Argentina in the semi-final, and the wait for a first World Cup since 1966 rolls on. Was it Tuchel's tactics that cost them, or did the players bottle it? Paul, Bob and Steve deliver the full post-mortem.

In the rest of the episode, we look at Infantino's rumoured 64 team expansion to the World Cup, Jurgen Klopp's imminent appointment as the new Germany manager and Roy Keane reigniting his war of words with Alf Inge Haaland.

Back at the Oak, Firestick Dean's business is down, Parksey is in hot water and rumours swirl that Steve's marriage to Nikki hasn't survived his time Stateside.

Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal and Harry Kane all feature in a bittersweet episode of Game's Gone.

Join us for our final World Cup episode next Thursday with a look at the World Cup final, race for the Golden Boot and review of the tournament...
