The Full Time Report — Ep.46: Kane Lights Up Dallas, Ronaldo Stalls, and Arsenal Start Asking Questions

Welcome to The Full Time Report. Episode forty six. Here we go. England are in the tournament at last, and if you wanted a calm, tidy, no-drama opening night, well, you picked the wrong country. It finished England four, Croatia two in Dallas: Harry Kane twice, Jude Bellingham straight after the break, Marcus Rashford from the bench, and somehow still enough defensive shakiness for Thomas Tuchel to spend the flight home looking like a man who has won and lost the same match.

Episode guide

England's World Cup opener finally arrived, and it gave us exactly the kind of mixed-feeling win that makes a tournament feel alive: Harry Kane scored twice, Jude Bellingham struck straight after half-time, Marcus Rashford finished it from the bench, and Thomas Tuchel still has plenty to tidy up after a 4-2 win over Croatia.
The episode also covers Portugal's 1-1 draw with DR Congo, Ghana's 95th-minute winner against Panama, Colombia's 3-1 win over Uzbekistan, the next World Cup viewing slate, and a transfer desk led by Arsenal's Barcola/Rogers links, Manchester City's midfield ambitions, and Manchester United's continued Ederson pursuit.
