THUNDERCLAP: France start slowly, Iceland shut out Messi and Peru miss a big chance

We’re in the studio again, even though it’s Sunday, because the World Cup doesn’t stop for anyone. We marvel over Iceland and their warrior-like performance against Argentina, with Rúrik Gíslason getting a lot of attention. From Pete. It’s very intimate.

Elsewhere there’s heartbreak for Peru BUT IT’S NOT OVER YET, we try to fathom what we’ll do if England actually win this damn thing and we gear up for for Brazil, Germany… and Mitro.
