Download Steve, Paul and Bob React to World Cup Group Stages - Live Stream Highlights!

Steve Bracknall, Paul Sampson and Bob the Bucket host a live stream reacting to the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stages.

They reacted to all the action from the final round of the groups, as England confirmed their Round of 32 tie vs DR Congo, but will Thomas Tuchel's right-back problems continue to haunt them?

Scotland's run comes to an end with Steve Clarke resigning as manager. And as Cape Verde continue to surprise (much to the delight of our Nikki who has them in the Royal Oak sweepstake) just how far can they go?

Plus the lads stick their neck out on who will win the Golden Boot - Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Erling Haaland or Ousmane Dembélé?

We'll be live streaming another bonus podcast reacting to the group stages via the Game’s Gone YouTube channel on Sunday 12th July.
