We are a week into the greatest show on earth - and the World Cup has already delivered some incredible moments.
Lionel Messi’s hat-trick for Argentina was just glorious and it also sets up a sensational shoot-out with Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. The big-name strikers are out in force, already off the mark and it could be the most hotly-contested Golden Boot in World Cup history.
England’s six-goal thriller with Croatia was a statement victory for Thomas Tuchel as the Three Lions were among the big nations like France, Argentina and Germany to make an impressive winning start.
This is the biggest World Cup in history with 48 teams. It is the most lavish and outrageous and it certainly feels we now have lift off in the United States because you can feel the interest growing.
