The first week of the 2026 World Cup ends with the last of the 48 national sides getting started, including Portugal and England.
Jordan Pickford is expected to start in goal for the Three Lions, as he starts on a path that might just see him become only the second Everton player to win the World Cup.

Ronaldo doing his best impression of Brian Glover in Kes

As always Liam. If he doesn't score I fear Danny Murphy might actually cry.

Maduake starts for England. What is Tuchel on?

The grass?

DR Congo not settling for a draw.
A throw back to the days when both teams wanted to win. Enjoying this

Personally I think Ronaldo has more say than the manager of Portugal, Martinez should have hooked him at half-time. Portugal were fancied with the squad they have, unless they drop Ronaldo, they're going nowhere.

Two great headers.

Well in DR Congo. Ronaldo, instead of looking around wondering what happened - Retire. The shot of the DR Congo fans, in the square in Portugal, surrounded by a multitude of Portugese fans - marvellous.

Sound Keith - will drop you a message mate.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:06:08
Well, struggling to play footie so far...
Lots of backwards shite.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:12:24
Very fortunate penalty call.
Very lucky call on the goalie moving.

I can't get my head around these hydration breaks to be honest, it's pathetic unless the temperature is completely stifling, interfering in the game and having some bird talk us through a blackboard.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:23:29
The penalty stutter should be banned, goalkeeper is bound to react to it, also encroachment is always going to occur if the taker stutters his shot.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:24:23
These hydration breaks are an abomination
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:28:30
Hydration break completely ridiculous, roof closed air conditioning on, its an advertisement break
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:28:34
They look so disjointed to me England
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:29:46
Is Bellingham really that good? Surely that has to be a goal.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:31:26
Refs a bit of a Dick
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:31:39
How many hoofs is that now from Pickford?
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:35:39
That was coming. Too much space between the lines of the team
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:36:06
1-1 can't really argue with that, Croatia look more than capable.
England to me have too many individuals.
Still struggling to catch the Bellingham hype I'm in agreement, I seena good player but nowhere near the greats of the past or even present.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:36:28
Too many mistakes by Madueke.
He has been poor.
Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:39:03
Michael he wasnt even a regular starter for Arsenal.
