Welcome to The Full Time Report. Episode seventy-six. Here we go. England have a medal, Bukayo Saka has a hat-trick, France have a new chapter to write, and the Premier League transfer window has decided that a World Cup final eve is a good time to get properly silly. Chelsea have agreed a deal worth one hundred and seventeen million pounds for Morgan Rogers, though the medical is still to come. Manchester United have already started pre-season with a defeat to Wrexham. And Arsenal are looking at the rather awkward bill that comes after sending a huge part of their squad deep into a World Cup. The timing matters here. This is Sunday the nineteenth of July, and Spain against Argentina is still to come later today. So this is the last morning before the final, but it is no longer a preview show. The bronze-medal game has been played, the first real pre-season signals are on the board, and the clubs are beginning to count the cost of the tournament. We will get through all of that, with the usual mix of what happened, what it tells us, and what I would be careful not to overread.
