World Cup: Spain suffocate bargy Argies with Mark Schwarzer
Spain has won its second men's World Cup after comprehensively outplaying Argentina. The South Americans embraced the dark arts, but all the tricks were no match for the Spanish class. Lionel Messi has possibly played his final World Cup game, but this young Spanish group is definitely just getting started. We also unpack an odd half-time show and ask Mark Schwarzer how we will remember the 2026 World Cup.
Featured: Mark Schwarzer, Socceroos legend.

World Cup: Craig Foster on the worst and best of the Cup
This World Cup has been a footballing feast. The big stars have shone, the little guys have punched above their weight, the Socceroos gave us reason to dream and ultimately we will have a highly anticipated final between the top two ranked nations. So, why is there still a sense of unease? The US presidential pardon. The hydration breaks. The sense of an erosion of trust. Craig Foster joins us to talk about what we've loved and what we have not.
Featured: Craig Foster, football pundit and human rights activist.

World Cup: Argentina deal agony to England as Tuchel wears the heat with Mark Schwarzer
It felt like a familiar story, England leading one-nil in a major semi-final before losing momentum and eventually the game. Manager Thomas Tuchel is already the focus of much blame, while Lionel Messi and Argentina showed they are never beaten. We pull apart a semi-final that crackled with animus before casting ahead to a final between Spain and Argentina.
Featured: Mark Schwarzer, Socceroos legend.
