The show began in the 2009-10 season in what was originally biweekly but can now be found every day the tournament is on. The team are often joined by the likes of Kate Mason, Jules Breach and Vithushan Ehantharajah, who provide the same laughs, gaffes and silly quizzes mixed in with insightful football knowledge perfected over nearly 13 years of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the matches the team will be previewing is the upcoming blockbuster clash between the Netherlands and Argentina. Albiceleste captain Lionel Messi is likely to lead the way, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.betfair.com\/sport\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/netherlands-v-argentina\/31949820\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netherlands vs Argentina betting odds<\/a>&nbsp;of 15\/2 to register a goal and an assist at any point in the match. The Oranje will have their chances too, though, with Memphis Depay at 4\/1 to have two or more shots on target. Whatever the result on Friday, the Football Ramble team will be covering it from all ends, which listeners can tune in to the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The last 8 is about to begin!

The podcast provides a range of analysis on the pitch, discussion about the serious issues off it, all mixed together with a fair amount of what Rushden called \u201cnonsense\u201d.
