The World Cup has officially hit chaos mode.
Scotland are out, but the Tartan Army may have still won the tournament vibes. Ross reflects on Scotland’s exit, Steve Clarke moving on, and why Ange-ball might be exactly the madness the national team needs next.
Then the boys dig into a knockout stage that suddenly feels wide open. France look terrifying, Spain are quietly finding form, Germany are already gone, and Argentina may have a real path back to another final. Meanwhile, the USA face Belgium without Balogun after a brutal red-card decision, Mexico get England at the Azteca, and VAR somehow manages to stay right in the middle of everything.
From awful penalties to hydration-break arguments, smart-ball controversy, Harry Kane diving accusations and surprise semifinal sleepers, this World Cup has stopped making sense — and that might be exactly why it is getting fun.
