The Full Time Report — Ep.46: Kane Lights Up Dallas, Ronaldo Stalls, and Arsenal Start Asking Questions
Thursday June eighteenth. England finally got their World Cup started, and they did it in the most England way possible: Harry Kane scored twice, Jude Bellingham hit a beauty straight after half-time, Marcus Rashford finished it off, and Thomas Tuchel still has a defensive review session waiting after a four two win over Croatia. Elsewhere, Portugal stumbled into a one all draw with DR Congo, Ghana nicked a stoppage-time winner against Panama, Colombia beat Uzbekistan three one, and the transfer desk keeps bubbling with Arsenal looking at Bradley Barcola, City dreaming very big in midfield, and United still trying to get Ederson over the line.
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.
