Rich is joined once again by Adam Parry to break down the World Cup after the opening two rounds of group stage matches.
Together, they highlight the standout teams who’ve impressed early on, as well as the sides that have delivered a few surprises along the way. They also dive into the influence of football’s biggest stars—Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé—as the race for the Golden Boot begins to take shape.
Plus, the pair explore how hydration breaks are giving coaches a tactical edge, assess the high standard of officiating, and discuss how less-fancied nations are proving they can compete technically and tactically on the world’s biggest stage.
