The end of a totally unpredictable group stage, plus knockout-round predictions with Steve Nash

Brendan and Rebecca put a bow on the group stage of this entertaining, bizarre, and totally unpredictable World Cup. Then basketball legend (and footy superfan) Steve Nash joins them to discuss his global World Cup allegiances (Canada, England, Wales, AND the U.S.), his thoughts on why Gio Reyna is on the bench, and to make some knockout-round predictions. Steve shares Rebecca’s affliction with the “Southgate flu” and comes together with Brendan despite their Spurs–Arsenal rivalry. Finally, Brendan and Rebecca talk out X-factors and nerves for Saturday’s pivotal USA–Netherlands showdown.
