"England are winning the World Cup!" | England v Croatia Reaction | With Guest Rebecca Lowe | Should Ronaldo be dropped?

Fox Sports' Rebecca Lowe joins Sam Matterface and Alex Crook for an exclusive conversation - giving her unique perspective on the 2026 World Cup from the heart of the action in America. One of the most respected voices in football broadcasting on either side of the Atlantic, Lowe gives her insight on how the tournament is resonating with the American public.

Sam and Alex deliver their full England v Croatia reaction - did Jude Bellingham nail down his place as the first name on the teamsheet? Did England show enough to be considered genuine World Cup contenders? And with questions at the back, should Marc Guehi come into the starting XI?

Portugal's laboured draw raises one of the biggest questions in football right now - do they need to drop Cristiano Ronaldo? Sam and Alex give their verdict. Plus Canada's demolition of Qatar, France finding their feet in the second-half, and what it all means for the group stage.

Looking ahead: Scotland v Morocco and Brazil v Haiti previewed, plus verdicts on Netherlands v Sweden, Germany v Côte d'Ivoire and Spain v Saudi Arabia before those games kick off.

And the tipping competition -Sam is flying after his Colombia to win and over 2.5 goals selection landed, opening up a 35.3-point lead. Alex needs to respond.
