Best thing since sliced veg: England put Wales to the sword and Louis van Gaal sharpens his knife

Definitive proof last night: it’s always good to have a Marcus in there!

Marcus, Jim and David discuss England’s 3-0 victory over Wales and just how responsible Chesney Hawkes was for that second half storm. We also deliberate who Southgate should go with in the knockouts after Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden impress. And it isn’t over for Gareth Bale in a Wales shirt, but should it be?

Meanwhile, USA and their swashbuckling midfield progress – how far can they go? Plus, Senegal prepare to batter the England band with some brilliant drums and Dick Advocaat rides again!
