Russia2018 The Best World Cup Finals ever? - a podcast by Ant McGinley

A pitch invasion, an own goal, teenage wonderkid, dodgy VAR decision, goalkeeping howler AND a decent performance from Paul Pogba - the final match of this World Cup had a whole bunch of things you rarely see, all in 90 minutes. Plus there was a thunderstorm and a world leader trying to Dab. Speaking of which, Gary Neville lays down the law to the politicians and doesn't hold back. And while all the golden things are being dished out, we present the most prized award we can bestow - The Golden Bell. But who deserved it most in the end? We're taking a break for a few weeks but will be back with the silliest soccer stories and comedy clips in time for the start of the 2018/19 premier league season. On The Left Side is written and produced by Ant McGinley and Jim Salveson, with additional production from Sean Allsop.
