Salt on the senses | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Messrs Speller, Campbell and Moore are back with more dynamic World Cup dispatches. Last night, Germany poured a metric boatload of salt all over those little Curaçao slugs and cast shuddering doubts over this expanded tournament format – then again, Curacao scored, so 48 teams maybe good?

Elsewhere: weird decisions from Ronald Koeman handed unsurprising package Japan a draw, the Rocky Curse strikes again and we saw a rare Muted International Celebration™ in a dominant Sweden win.

Plus, we learn more vital info about the Mexican duck - and Marcus has decided its culinary-related fate.
