Football Weekly Extra: Portugal and Sweden prepare for World Cup face-off

Ahoy listeners and welcome to what is almost certainly our best ever show during the international week.

On today's Football Weekly Extraaaa, AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, Philippe Auclair, Jacob Steinberg and Marcus Christenson for a look ahead to all the friendlies and World Cup play-offs coming up over the next week, including CR7/Portugal's clash with Zlatan/Sweden, Iceland's tussle with Croatia, Ghana's trip (or not) to Egypt, and England.

Plus, we've got Jonathan Wilson on the phone to tell us all about Uruguay's 5-0 win over Jordan and why he loves Chile; Dr Sid Lowe giving his prognosis on Leo Messi's hamstring; and we tell you everything you wanted to know about Martin Jol's new assistant at Fulham, René Meulensteen.

We have an extraordinarily exciting competition coming up on Monday's show, and to keep you even more entertained in the interim, be sure to check out Jimbo's European paper review which will be up on Friday morning.
