We carry on our celebration of the 2014 World Cup, as we watch Canada's 31... 5? win over Spain. Who knows, we're still not sure about Schrodinger's Conversion. We talk about nothing other than the game, so don't worry about that.
The theme music for this is a new version of "World In Union", remixed by Davoli.
