Game's Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast

Reaction to England vs Norway and Argentina await - Live Stream Highlights!

13 July 2026

Available for over a year

Steve Bracknall joins us live from Miami - straight off the back of England's 2-1 win over Norway - for a special Games Gone livestream with Paul and Bob.

Steve sets the scene after a sweltering Miami night as England edged through a nervy encounter to set up an epic semi final clash with Argentina.

We get into Jude Bellingham's extraordinary tournament - four player of the match awards and six goals - and ask what on earth the Norwegian manager was thinking taking Erling Haaland off.

We also chat controversies: the disallowed Norway goal, whether England's opener actually hit the spidercam, the disallowed Djed Spence penalty, and Gabriel Clarke's post-match interviews with Tuchel and Jude.

Elsewhere: the Golden Boot race is genuinely one for the ages - Bellingham, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are all in the hunt. We run the rules on the Royal sweepstake - Terry has France, MOT Mick has Argentina, Sampson has Spain, Steve has England....

Plus Chaos at the Oak, where Terry and June's new table booking system has locked out the regulars.

We’re releasing special World Cup-themed episodes every Thursday across the tournament.
