World Cup Weekly: Chill and Relax...

🎙️ World Cup Weekly: Chill and Relax

The first round of matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is complete—and what a start we've had.

In the first edition of World Cup Weekly: Chill and Relax, we look back at an opening week packed with goals, shocks and talking points. We discuss England's thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia, Germany's ruthless 7-1 demolition of Curaçao, and whether either side has already laid down a marker for the rest of the tournament.

We also examine some of the biggest surprises from the opening fixtures. Brazil were held by Morocco, Spain were frustrated by Cape Verde, and Belgium could only draw with Egypt, raising questions about some of the pre-tournament favourites.

Elsewhere, we discuss Scotland's winning start against Haiti, the impressive performances from host nations Mexico, Canada and the United States, and whether the expanded 48-team format is already delivering more competitive football than many expected.
