🎙️ World Cup Weekly: Star Wars

The second week of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has delivered history, drama and perhaps the clearest indication yet of who might be lifting the trophy next month.

In this week’s edition of World Cup Weekly, we discuss a remarkable seven days that saw Lionel Messi break yet another World Cup record, while Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in football history to score in six different World Cups, adding another extraordinary chapter to one of the game’s greatest careers.

On the pitch, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland continue to look unstoppable. Mbappé is once again proving why he is football’s biggest tournament player, while Haaland has announced himself on the World Cup stage in spectacular fashion as Norway emerge as one of the competition’s most intriguing contenders.

We also analyse England’s frustrating goalless draw with Ghana, a performance that has raised questions about whether Gareth Southgate’s side can genuinely challenge for the trophy. Was it a minor blip, or a warning sign ahead of the knockout rounds?

Elsewhere, one of the stories of the tournament so far continues to be Cape Verde, who followed up their draw with Spain by producing a thrilling 2-2 draw against Uruguay. Are they becoming the surprise package of World Cup 2026?
