In this third podcast of our summer World Cup series, Anita recaps day four of the action which featured Costa Rica (Joel Campbell) v Serbia, Germany (Mesut Ozil) v Mexico (Carlos Vela), and Brazil v Switzerland (Granit Xhaka and Stephan Lichtsteiner).

Granit Xhaka was given a terrible rating of just 3-4 after his performance against Brazil.

German national team manager Joachim Low revealed that Mesut Ozil has undertaken a number of extra training sessions in order to be fully fit for their opening World Cup game on Sunday against Mexico.

Hateful former Arsenal-man-turned-pundit, Stewart Robson, has admitted what we all knew to be true – that he wanted Arsenal to lose under Arsene Wenger.

Unai Emery has hailed Granit Xhaka as the Swiss midfielder put pen-to-paper on a new Arsenal deal.

German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has called for the press and public to ‘show more understanding’ over Mesut Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan’s meeting with Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Arsenal have reportedly made an offer of €20m for Bayer Leverkusen’s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, with the Germans holding out for €22m.
