  • The Back Page
    Jul 3 2026

    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.

  • Monday Night Football: President Trump Reinstates Suspended US Star
    Jul 7 2026

    Former Premier League and Wales footballer, Neil Taylor joins Chris McHardy for a special Monday Night Football.

    FIFA has ditched any pretense of being morally upstanding by bending to President Trump's request to rescind Florian Balogun's red card. Have Gianni Infantino and co. just opened Pandora's Box? CNN Sports reporter Amanda Davies joins us on the line to discuss the repercussions of this act.

    England inflicted Mexico's first ever defeat at the Azteca Stadium in a roller-coaster game. Should they be more modest though? After all, they're ranked 4th in the world and should've beaten the co-hosts. The match also featured a broken wrist for Jordan Henderson... who didn't even play.

    Where do Brazil go next after being humbled by Norway and Erling Haaland? Can the Scandinavian dark horses advance beyond the quarter finals?

    All this and much more on The Score.

    Jul 9 2026

    Eddie Taylor joins Chris McHardy for another episode of the show that takes a sideways look at the sports world.

    Egypt are dumped out of the World Cup by Lionel Messi's Argentina, but have the controversial decisions marred an otherwise superb game?

    There are updates on the Tour De France as UAE Team Emirates-XRG find themselves in the unusual position of chasing the race leaders. Novak Djokovic continues to prove age is just a number after his latest epic battle at Wimbledon, while wildcard entry Arthur Fery stuns ninth seed Flavio Cobolli to book a place in the semi-finals.

    And, of course, there's another quiz from the brain of Mr Eddie Taylor.

    Carl van Rosenvelt joins Chris McHardy for all the latest on Wimbledon, World Cup, Tour de France and more.

    We start things off with the live updates of the semi-final clash between Coco Guaff and Karolina Muchova. And there are the results from Stage 6 of the Tour de France, as Tadej Pogacar mounts an epic comeback.

    Then we move to the World Cup to look at Cape Verde's goalkeeper, Vozinha and his unreal Instagram following. Speaking of the World Cup, we have the breaking news about Jarrell Quansah's red card being upgraded to a two-match suspension. Will Keir Stramer - or Donald Trump - step in again?

    But FIFA big boss Gianni Infantino is under pressure from European MPs.

  • Monday Night Football: Tuchel vs. Bellingham
    Jul 14 2026

    Former Premier League footballer Neil Taylor joins Chris McHardy to cover the weekend's football as Argentina and England advance to the World Cup semi-finals.

    There's a look back at the unusual head-to-head between England boss Thomas Tuchel and two-goal hero Jude Bellingham. Has this needle come just at the right time to up their performances? Was Erling Haaland too tired for Norway?

    Defending champions, Argentina will be England's opponent in the semi-finals. Are they too reliant on Leo Messi or can the GOAT go back-to-back? Switzerland had their chances but a moment of madness from Breel Embolo cost them - was it the right decision?

    And would a 64-team World Cup be a welcome spectacle? If FIFA has its way, it's about to happen.

  • The Back Page: Can Messi's Argentina overcome Kane's England?
    Jul 16 2026

    Eddie Taylor joins Chris McHardy for a look at the biggest sports headlines around.

    Spain edged past France to make the World Cup Final - but was it a Spanish masterclass or a French surrender? Either way, Didier Deschamps is out at Les Bleus, and a former France superstar is ready to take the reins.

    There's all the build-up to the big one as the old enemies England and Argentina lock horns again for a place in Sunday's final. Our roving reporter, Gary Meenaghan takes a break from his 14-hour cross-country journey to give us his thoughts ahead of the game.
