The Netherlands turn up as the USA exit, and Demba Ba on England-Senegal

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo’s joined by Michael Cox and Tim Spiers as the knockout stages of the World Cup get underway.

Argentina make their way past a spirited Australia with Lionel Messi turning it on. But is it their defensive steel that could take them all the way?

The Netherlands impress as they brush aside USA with the wing-backs flourishing and Memphis Depay opening the scoring from a 20 pass move. As for America, Paul Tenorio tells us the striker search starts now.

England battle Senegal and the ITV curse on Sunday. Demba Ba tells us why Gareth Southgate should fear conceding the first goal. And penalties.

Plus France take on Poland. But the Polish press aren’t feeling too proud of their team back home.
