World Cup Podcast: Saudis celebrate and Ronaldo's free

Ed Leahy and Paul Corry join Mikey Stafford to look back on Day 3 of the World Cup as the Saudis struck a blow for the little guy and Cristiano Ronaldo was freed from his Old Trafford prison.

Argentina were many people's fancy to crown Lionel Messi's career with the greatest accolade, but their 2-1 defeat to a very well-organised Saudi Arabia has raised serious questions.

Mexico and Poland did them a favour by drawing 0-0, while in Group D we got another stalemate between Denmark and Tunisia, while the lads watched live as France came back from a goal down to begin their defence with a 4-1 win over Australia.

On the day when Roy Keane gave his blunt opinion about the World Cup in Qatar, the Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand made headlines with hsi own comments about his conflicted emotions around the tournament.

Ronaldo's departure from Manchester United by mutual consent made headlines away from the World Cup, but where will the free agent wind up after the tournament?

The lads have a look ahead to tomorrow's matches, which sees a few heavy-hitters, Spain, Germany and Belgium, get their tournaments underway, as well as finalists last time out, Croatia.
