The Back Page

The Back Page

Eddie Taylor joins Chris McHardy for another episode of The Back Page on The Score. England squeaked past DR Congo and we wonder whether they have enough for a deep run in the tournament? Belgium and the USA also go under the microscope as they progress to the World Cup 2026 last 16. England Cricket is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons as former players call for an end to the fabled "Bazball". But who should replace him next? Oliver Glasner's move (sideways step?) from Crystal Palace to Nottingham Forest still has us scratching our heads? Surely, he should've been taking a step up. Plus, Spurs are giving Manchester City a run for their money in the summer transfer window. And there's a quiz from Eddie too! All this and much more on The Score.

Is Scotland's World Cup party over?

Tom Urquhart and Marc Archer are standing in for Chris McHardy for this episode. As Scotland are humbled at the hands of a free-flowing Brazil, we ask if the World Cup party is over for them? Are these hydration breaks really necessary? There's also a round-up of the big results as co-hosts Canada and Mexico head to the knockout stage in very different fashion. Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has his say on the... hot topic. We head to England to see how their preparation is going for the third test against New Zealand as Ben Stokes apologises for his late-night shenanigans.
