Episode 2 of Marvellous Throw-In is here.

Tom and Ed are back with less echo, more structure and roughly the same amount of nonsense. This week, Tom opens with Joke Corner, Ed tries to turn Tom’s wave of Instagram goodwill into actual podcast subscribers, and the boys debut a very real, very unofficial fake sponsor read for SpaceX.

There’s also World Cup chat, England beating Croatia, Bielsa rejecting the media circus, Messi, Haaland, Mbappé, Ronaldo and Harry Kane, plus a football knowledge test where Tom has 20 seconds to explain Viktor Gyökeres, Botafogo, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Xabi Alonso’s inverted wing-backs and the UEFA coefficient.

There are funny footballer names, monarch poems, brotherly abuse and a serious plea to like, subscribe and comment because apparently it’s “no skin off your nose”.
