Can Kane keep saving England?

England left it late but got the job done, thanks to Harry Kane. Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic's Carl Anka and Liam Twomey after England's emotional come-from-behind win against DR Congo as our England correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke poses the question; is Kane England's greatest player ever? Away from England's win, the USA and Belgium also progressed to face one another in the Round of 16. Henry Bushnell reports from the USMNT's win over Bosnia & Herzegovina including a controversial red card for Folarin Balogun, while Belgium had to come from 2-0 down to see off Senegal. And ahead of the Day 22 action, Matt Slater joins us from Toronto ahead of Portugal taking on Croatia to discuss how the cities he's visited have connected with the tournament as well as what tournament preconceptions he had that he may have changed his opinion on. Host: Adam Leventhal With: Carl Anka and Liam Twomey Featuring: Jack Pitt-Brooke, Henry Bushnell and Matt Slater Executive Producer: Guy Clarke Producers: Mike Stavrou and Liam Warburton Hosted on Acast.

Man United’s transfer plans after Ugarte injury

This was always going to be a World Cup centred episode, but we had hoped the news would be a little happier. Manuel Ugarte has sustained a significant knee ligament injury and while, of course, it will have an impact on United's summer transfer plans our immediate thoughts are with the man himself. Elsewhere in the tournament, there hasn't been an awful lot of action for United participants. Bruno Fernandes has played every minute of every Portugal game, something no other United player has done for their nation, and Kobbie Mainoo is one of four yet to make it onto the pitch. Mateus Cunha is possibly the most encouraging story so far; Brazilian fans are learning to love his style just as Reds did last season and, notwithstanding a difficult test against Japan, here's hoping we'll see his celebrations a few more times. Not that anyone from TotD has drafted him! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why are England struggling to convince?

Despite a 2-0 win over Panama with Jude Bellingham playing a crucial role, Thomas Tuchel's England still lack conviction. Joining Adam Leventhal to get stuck into England's final group stage performance are Tim Spiers and Art De Roche, with Jack Pitt-Brooke sharing his thoughts from the MetLife Stadium. With the group stage now completed there's also discussion around some of the big talking points as Lionel Messi moves onto six goals at the tournament, nine of the 10 African sides have reached the knockout stage - and Scotland head coach Steve Clarke resigns, with Jordan Campbell providing reaction in Boston. Plus, ahead of the knockouts beginning there's some bracket projections before our Canada correspondent Josh Kloke previews Canada's tie with South Africa. Host: Adam Leventhal With: Tim Spiers and Art De Roche Featuring: Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jordan Campbell and Josh Kloke Producers: Guy Clarke and Liam Warburton Hosted on Acast.

Live from Wimbledon Day 3 - Gauff, Krejcikova classics light up SW19

We start by reacting to Deadline Djokovic and his rapid victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas. How much will that efficiency help him later on in the tournament? We then move on to the two standout matches of the day - Barbora Krejcikova’s thrilling win over French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, and Coco Gauff winning the last six points to survive a final set tiebreak against Solana Sierra. We discuss what makes Krejcikova’s forehand so great, the return of Andreeva’s on court petulance, and how Gauff’s improved serve helped her in some key moments. In part two (25:40), we cover Aryna Sabalenka having to step up to beat McCartney Kessler in straight sets, some possible reasons why Jannik Sinner remains short of his best, and the end of Dan Evans’ professional tennis career. We end the show with some news (54:40), including reports of a knee injury for Serena Williams, and the decision to move the WTA Finals to Indian Wells instead of Saudi Arabia this year.

England poised for Panama as France thrill + Cape Verde qualify!

Drama on Day 16 as Bielsa’s Uruguay are eliminated and Dembele enters the Golden Boot race. Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Laurie Whitwell and Tom Williams for company in LA as the picture for the last 32 becomes clearer. England are through to the next round but will they finish 1st. 2nd or 3rd? The clash with Panama will decide that, as Thomas Tuchel deals with some injury problems. France top their group after thrashing a much changed Norway, with the Ballon d’Or taking home the match ball. Senegal are still in the mix after scoring banger after banger against Iraq, while Scotland’s hopes hang by a thread. Spain help eliminate Uruguay, allowing Cape Verde to progress to the next round. Nick Miller was there in Houston. And Belgium and Egypt also go through while Iran have to wait a bit longer after a crazy conclusion in Group G. Hosted on Acast.
