The World Cup is gathering pace, England have produced both one of the best performances of the tournament and one of the most forgettable, Scotland's qualification hopes hang in the balance, and Boston may never quite be the same again.

In this episode, Rebecca and Marilyn look back at England's thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia before giving their suitably sarcastic verdict on the rather less thrilling 0-0 draw with Ghana.

They also discuss Scotland's narrow defeat to Morocco, what it means ahead of the final group game against Brazil, and why calculators, goal difference and cautious optimism are suddenly every Scotland supporter's best friends.

There's also a round-up of the biggest stories from across the World Cup, including the first nations to qualify for the knockout stages, Canada's incredible 6-0 victory, and Lionel Messi breaking yet another World Cup goalscoring record as the race for the Golden Boot begins to heat up.

And of course, the Tartan Army Travel Report returns.

This week, Scotland supporters join forces with Norway fans, help empty Boston's beer taps, take over another baseball game in Miami, while Norwegian supporters somehow manage to interrupt a yoga session in Times Square. As usual, the supporters may be providing almost as much entertainment as the football itself.

Please note: This episode was recorded on Wednesday, before Scotland's final group match against Brazil was played, so any discussion about Scotland's qualification hopes reflects the tournament situation at the time of recording.

This is also Rebecca's final World Cup episode before heading off on her own travels. Rebecca and Marilyn will return together after the tournament to look back at all the drama, surprises, unforgettable moments... and whatever became of the Tartan Army.
