It's the Socceroos vs Mo Salah, France look untouchable and we have a $30m player in our camp | World Cup chat with Niav Owens, SBS host of the FIFA World Cup

from Two Good Sports · host iHeart Australia, Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny

It's about time we talked about the World Cup. The Socceroos have (arguably) defied expectations and made it through the group stage. Now we play Egypt in the first knockout round on Saturday morning. Is it winnable?  Niav Owens thinks so, and she knows her football. The host of SBS' World Cup coverage joins us to chat our chances of progressing to the round of 16 and meeting Messi and Argentina (unless Cabo Verde pull off the biggest ever World Cup shock), why this squad is so exciting, and what the A-League does with a $30mil player when Barcelona come calling.  Plus, Harry Kewell captured our hearts in 2006 and now he's doing it again 20 years later, how we can shut down Egyptian superstar Mo Salah, Norwegian crowd rowing vibes and World Cup knockout-round tactics. And of course France are looking unfairly good, England haven't quite got into gear, and why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a football expert. The only place to watch the FIFA World Cup is on SBS and SBS on Demand.    Harvey Norman love sport.
