The age-old Cristiano Ronaldo question | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Another major tournament for Portugal, another debate on whether Cristiano Ronaldo should be starting for them. After his sub-par performance in Portugal's 1-1 World Cup draw with DR Congo, Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to once again question why Roberto Martínez is sticking with his 41-year-old captain up top.

Elsewhere, France get the better of Senegal in a thrilling encounter. Could this be the Kylian Mbappé World Cup? And Norway are well underway, but not without Iraq making it tricky for them.
