Let the knockouts commence: South Korean scenes and Aboubakar’s blaze of glory!

Marcus, Lars and Jim convene at Ramble HQ After one final portion of the World Cup group stage banquet.

We discuss an incredible night for South Korea and Cristiano Ronaldo’s great generosity – plus the happiest man to ever be sent off in a World Cup, a very teary Luis Suárez and a very punchy Edison Cavani.

We also find out how FIFA are well-prepared to make sure the group stage format is never this good again.
