England's 4 AM Mayhem, Trump's FIFA call & Why Norway's not JUST Haaland
7/6/202634 min
Was the siege at the Azteca stadium England’s finest World Cup moment? Gabby & Nedum bask in the glory of an unforgettable night after some heroic defending and the brilliance of Jude Bellingham saw England defeat Mexico 3-2 and setup a quarter final clash against Erling Haaland’s Norway.
After knocking out Brazil, Norway reached the quarter-finals of the world cup for the first time we’ll also hear how Haaland wants them to be “More like Brazil”.
Elsewhere Donald Trump made his World Cup bow by calling FIFA President Gianni Infantino to have a friendly chat about Folarin Balogun’s red card suspension... We have questions.

First 90 secondsLars Sivertsen· Guest0:00
[upbeat music] This is a global production.
Gabby Logan· Host0:04
Is this the most brilliant England performance since the World Cup final of '66?
Nedum Onuoha· Guest0:10
Something that gets said a lot in football and in sports is, like, show personality, don't hide, and none of those England players were hiding. And because of how intelligent Bellingham is, he then makes the opposite run to the back post. I promise you, that is the quality that is so underrated.
Gabby Logan· Host0:26
If Balogun is the difference between Belgium and USA and is, and scores the match winner, you know, then you can see Trump claiming victory.
Nedum Onuoha· Guest0:34
It starts off with a suspended red card. Next thing may be is the referee. You know what I mean? [laughs] Maybe next thing you have, you have a bye all the way to the final.
Gabby Logan· Host0:40
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Sports Agents.
Nedum Onuoha· Guest0:52
Yeah, it was a, a crazy game. Um, we had, we had to fight.
Gabby Logan· Host0:56
[coughs] So how's your voice, Nadim?
Nedum Onuoha· Guest0:58
[laughs] What, what did you say, Gabby? What, uh- I, I'm doing all right. I am doing all right. It was a, it was quite a night, but I didn't have to do any shouting 'cause it was middle of the night.
Gabby Logan· Host1:07
That was from the sublime to the ridiculous, that post-match interview, wasn't it? Because, um, and even Kelly Somers who was interviewing him kind of had a giggle in her voice because [laughs] I felt like he needed water. I, I... We should probably explain, if you didn't stay up last night, the post-match interview with Harry Kane, which has now gone viral and is probably the subject of a kind of... It'll be number one in the charts, so some- somebody'll mix it with something. But, um, that was, that was the post-match atmosphere.
