Argentina's SHAME, Trump's Circus... A fitting end to toxic World Cup?
7/20/202645 min
Fresh from hosting the World Cup Final, Gabby joins Nedum & Mark live and direct from New York to discuss the fallout from what many described as a fitting end to a toxic tournament.
After Argentina’s full-time antics overshadowed Spain’s big moment, the guys get into post match brawls, players turning their backs on the trophy and Mark goes in two footed on the first ever Half-Time show in World Cup Final history.
Elsewhere the new mile world record holder, Great Britain’s Josh Kerr, joins us to talk about his miracle mile after smashing the record and bringing it back home to the UK.
