Ronaldo’s last dance takes a misstep

Canada experience

Sean O'Shea and former Swansea City and Wales international Neil Taylor bring you the latest news and stories from the World Cup and beyond.

Fellow World Cup co-host Mexico is the first team guaranteed a place in the knockout stages after squeaking past South Korea. We give you the backstory on Cape Verde's viral sensation, their 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha. There's also an update on whether his mum's visa issues for watching her son play in the US have been resolved. Plus, there's time for a quick look at the club football scene as transfers continue and the Premier League fixtures are released. All this and much more on The Score.

Ronaldo’s last dance takes a misstep

Sean O'Shea and ex-Premier League star Stephen Ward bring you all the latest news and stories from the World Cup. England took a little while to find their groove against Croatia, but looked much improved in the second half. Could they go all the way? By comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked off his campaign with Portugal as they laboured to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo, which begs the question: should the 41-year-old still be starting for his country? We do our daily count of Cape Verde's Instagram sensation Vozinha's follower count as it reaches ridiculous heights. We also look at the latest transfer dealings and managerial moves from around the world too. All this and much more on The Score.

Messi takes over the World Cup

Sean O'Shea and ex-Premier League star Neil Taylor are on hand to talk about all of the results and stories colouring the World Cup this summer. There's an early look at the race for the Golden Boot as Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and hat-trick hero Lionel Messi open their accounts. Who else can rival these three greats? Then we wonder where all the good goalkeepers have gone as there have already been some howlers so far. We also assess England's chances of a deep run in the competition as Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions kick-off their campaign. There's even time for Neil Taylor to tell us what it's like to play in the US with Wales and getting humbled in a friendly by France.  All this and much more on The Score.

Monday Night Football: World Cup Special

We look at all the latest World Cup results, including Curacao's first-ever goal in the Finals, Sweden's masterclass and Ivory Coast's dramatic late winner. It's early days, but we also look at the best moments from the tournament so far, which includes the Netherlands' fans' synchronised shuffling. Then there's a little detour from the big show for a look at the world of club football that keeps spinning: Real Madrid strengthens its ranks in a savvy financial manner, and Manchester United announces a new TV show that goes beyond the pitch.

Then we stay stateside to talk to CNN correspondent Don Riddell about the build up to Thursday night's World Cup kick-off. Speaking of the world's greatest game, FIFA head honcho Gianni Infantino says we all just need to "relax". Hmm. And Keith Waters from the Mena Tour joins us to discuss a new venture in golf.
