17:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Portugal v DR Congo (Kick-off 6.00pm). Joanne Cantwell presents all the action from the opening match in Group K, held at Houston Stadium in the USA. UEFA Nations League holders Portugal qualified by topping a group containing Republic of Ireland, Hungary and Armenia. Their top scorer was once again Cristiano Ronaldo and, even at the age of 41, it would be a surprise if he wasn't regularly involved in what will surely be his final opportunity to win this competition. Their opponents may not have anyone of Ronaldo's reputation, but the majority of their players have experience of playing in one of Europe's top leagues, including Premier League players such as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Noah Sadiki and Yoane Wissa. They reached the finals by defeating Jamaica 1-0 in an inter-confederation play-off, with Burnley's Axel Tuanzebe scoring the winner in extra time |
| 20:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | England v Croatia (Kick-off 9.00pm). Joanne Cantwell presents coverage of the Group L match at Dallas Stadium in the USA, as both sides get their campaign under way. These two teams last met at the European Championships held in 2021, with England winning a group stage encounter 1-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to a second-half finish from Raheem Sterling. They also met in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when Croatia came from behind to win 2-1 in extra-time and reach their first major final. Kieran Trippier scored a fifth-minute free-kick in that meeting to give England the lead but The Checkered Ones replied in the 68th minute thanks to Ivan Perisic's goal to take it to another 30 minutes. Mario Mandzukic then scored with 11 minutes of extra time to play, ending the Three Lions' quest to reach their first World Cup final since 1966 | |
