World Cup Podcast: Korea get samba'd but what is Neymar

John Brewin joins Mikey Stafford and Conor Neville minutes after Brazil were finished dancing on the dreams of South Korea to set up a quarter-final against Croatia, who needed a shootout to see off Japan.

Croatia, who have not won a knockout game in 90 minutes since 1998 will not be bullied by Brazil, who did not impress John with their elaborate celebrations to their first half goals, despite employing Neymar as a midfielder. Supposedly. They didn't impress Mikey either, because it looked like the Macarena.

Can Portugal rise above the telenovela that is Cristiano Ronaldo's fading club career and show what a talented team they are, with or without the clubless one. If not, they could well be eliminated by a Switzerland team who have added real entertainment value to the dependability with which they have been long synonymous.

Spain v Morocco is our last chance of a true underdog in the quarter-finals and it would be a jolt for the first World Cup in the Arab world for the North Africans to do it and they would seem to have the team capable of beating a wonderfully talented Spain who perhaps lack the killer instinct.

John gives an update on the hype in England while the lads all rhapsodise about Olivier Giroud, the handsome donkey who breaks scoring records while also performing the role of Kylian Mbappe's emotional support buddy.
