The Full Time Report — Ep.55: Dembele detonates, Cabo Verde dream, and Arsenal test Newcastle

Welcome to The Full Time Report. Episode fifty five. Here we go. Dembele has just turned a supposed Haaland versus Mbappe night into his own personal highlight reel, Cabo Verde have done the beautiful absurd thing and reached the knockouts with three draws, Uruguay are packing early, and the transfer desk is looking at Newcastle like a buffet. So, cup first, Premier League money later.

Episode guide

Ousmane Dembele steals the France spotlight with a first-half hat-trick, Cabo Verde reach the knockouts after three draws, Uruguay go home early, Belgium and Egypt settle Group G, and England plus Portugal get a proper group-stage finale. The Premier League desk then turns to Arsenal's reported Bruno Guimaraes pursuit, Tottenham's Newcastle shopping list, Chelsea's defensive rebuild and Manchester City's huge Elliot Anderson push.

Show notes

  • France beat Norway 4-1 as Dembele scored three times before half-time, while Mike Maignan saved a second-half penalty.
  • Spain beat Uruguay 1-0, which sent Uruguay out and opened the door for Cabo Verde's historic three-draw route into the knockouts.
  • Belgium beat New Zealand 5-1, Egypt drew 1-1 with IR Iran, and Senegal thumped Iraq 5-0 to squeeze through as one of the best third-placed sides.
  • England face Panama with top spot still in play; Portugal need a cleaner night against Colombia after a mixed group stage.
  • The transfer section keeps the rumours clearly caveated: live-window reporting, not confirmed deals, unless the clubs have said so.
