World Cup News

Poland’s guard of honour is all but a formality. Marcus, Jim and Vish unpeel themselves from the ceiling after England’s latest drubbing. Mason Mount continues his rise from teacher’s pet to England mainstay, while Harry Kane’s bloodlust is as strong as ever. We also check in with our Junior Brave Boys, who continue to flourish under Aidy Boothroyd's dazzling brand of football. But it can always be worse: just ask Ireland. We discuss Stephen Kenny’s nigh-on-impossible task of filling the inimitable big Mick’s big shoes. There’s also oversized goalposts in Switzerland, disappearing refs, and Pep Guardiola staring at Ilkay Gundogan while he sleeps. All in a day’s work.

We beat them in the World Cup qualifiers, but San Marino have got Flo Rida for Eurovision and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the real quiz. Kate, Luke and Andy look over last night’s international football on today’s edition of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! We hail Brave Boy Ollie Watkins, who has not only made it to Wembley but made it out of Devon, while an old England favourite – Paul Gascoigne – catches our attention for very, very different reasons. Elsewhere, Luke puts the boot in Aidy Boothroyd, we check in with Scotland and their new Cuban revolutionary, Che Adams, and Rio Ferdinand has a very reasonable proposal for Newcastle United fans.
