The Rest Is Football · 2026-06-18

Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Harry Maguire, Joe Cole and World Cup winner Patrick Vieira reflect on a brilliant night for England as they opened their campaign with a 4-2 win over Croatia in Dallas.

Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane were at the heart of it all but they also look at Tuchel's selection in defence, his use of the substitutes, and the stern words he had for the team as they went in level at the break.

Plus we look at Cristiano Ronaldo failing to impress as Portugal limped to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo.
