The Full Time Report — Ep.58: Germany crack, Brazil breathe, and the market goes midfield mad

Morning, and welcome back to The Full Time Report. If yesterday was about late goals and the bracket taking shape, today is the morning after the penalty gods decided to get extremely weird. Germany, of all countries, have gone out of a World Cup shoot-out. Brazil spent forty-five minutes staring at a trapdoor before Gabriel Martinelli found the escape hatch. Morocco have turned the Netherlands into the second European giant of the night to pack early. And because football never lets you breathe, the Premier League transfer market is doing that thing where every midfielder suddenly costs the GDP of a small island. So brew something strong, or save this for the sofa later, because there is plenty to unpack.
