U-S-Aces, Tunisian trauma, and a hampered Holland | Bonus Episode!

from Any Given Thursday

We've got a special bonus episode for you on 3 World Cup topics we simply couldn't resist. First, we break down how the United States turned up to the tournament in such style, running circles around Paraguay in a 4-1 victory. How did Poch get the lads humming and what were the tactical moves that allowed them such freedom? We also look ahead to their second match against Australia, who shocked Turkey in their opener. What different threats will the Aussies pose? Then, we discuss the first sacking of the tournament – Sabri Lamouchi, after his Tunisian side was humiliated 5-1 to Sweden in a shocking performance. What happened to Tunisia and what comes next with new man Herve Renard swooping in as replacement? Finally, David allows Maxwell to rant about his beloved Oranje for a few minutes, bitterly complaining about their approach in the final 20 minutes against Japan, Ronald Koemen's tactical prowess, and the state of Dutch coaching. Cheers to Mauricio Pochettino!
