Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
The opening round of the World Cup group stage is complete, and Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are here to break down all the biggest talking points from the tournament so far.
England got their campaign off to the perfect start, with Jude Bellingham delivering a standout performance and silencing any doubts about his place in the side. Roy, Gary and Ian give their player ratings and assess who impressed most in England’s opening match.
Thomas Tuchel’s tactical approach and in-game management proved decisive, but how will he set England up for their next fixture? Will Marcus Rashford and Djed Spence come into the starting XI, or will Tuchel stick with the same side that got the job done in the opening game?
The spotlight was on Lionel Messi, who once again reminded the world of his brilliance with a stunning hat-trick to launch Argentina’s World Cup campaign in style.
Later in the show, boxer Ben Whittaker joins the panel ahead of his upcoming fight. He opens up about whether boxing press conferences are really as heated as they appear, the hardest punch he’s ever taken, and the reality of chasing the sport’s biggest money fights.
ITV7 returns to test the team's knowledge, before we finish with some of your community questions.
