Former Premier League footballer Neil Taylor joins Chris McHardy to cover the weekend's football as Argentina and England advance to the World Cup semi-finals.

There's a look back at the unusual head-to-head between England boss Thomas Tuchel and two-goal hero Jude Bellingham. Has this needle come just at the right time to up their performances? Was Erling Haaland too tired for Norway?

Defending champions, Argentina will be England's opponent in the semi-finals. Are they too reliant on Leo Messi or can the GOAT go back-to-back? Switzerland had their chances but a moment of madness from Breel Embolo cost them - was it the right decision?

And would a 64-team World Cup be a welcome spectacle? If FIFA has its way, it's about to happen.

All this and much more on The Score.

Former Premier League title-winner with Leicester City, Danny Simpson joins Chris McHardy for this week's Monday Night Football.


There's a look at Dubai-based football legend, Andrea Pirlo's on-off negotiations to become the Italy head coach. Sticking with world football, we dissect FIFA president Gianni Infantino's angry social media post where he claims, "Politics should be kept out of sport". Hmmm.


Brighton's Danny Welbeck is about to make a shock move to Chelsea... doubt his former team-mate, Danny Simpson, doubts the move and says their old club Manchester United, is missing a trick. 
Elsewhere, we predict the landing spots for free agents such as Mo Salah, Jadon Sancho and John Stones.

Monday Night Football: Big shocks in the transfer window

Marc Archer is in the hot seat alongside Chris McHardy for this episode.

We're picking through the stories still spilling out of The Open from last weekend, including the revelation that Bryson DeChambeau threatened to call US President Donald Trump because he was angry. We also hear from Rory McIlroy, who isn't shy about calling DeChambeau out.

Speaking of golf, there's a quick look at what the future holds for LIV Golf and PIF.

LeBron James is sticking around for a 24th season, but where is King James going to land? One team may have accidentally given us a clue. Marc also reveals that he's about to spend the weekend with NBA royalty including - quite possibly - Michael Jordan.

Elliot Anderson's move to Manchester City is official, while we wonder if he's really worth £117m?

McIlroy vs. DeChambeau... FIGHT!

Eddie Taylor joins Chris McHardy for another look at the biggest stories in sport.

With the dust completely settled on the World Cup and Spain being crowned champions, we decide the winners and losers of the competition. We cover everything from the greatness of the Azteca Stadium to the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo exiting the tournament early.

After newly signed Morgan Rogers claims Chelsea "are the biggest team in London," we wonder which team actually is? Plus, is Rogers really worth £117m?

We remember the genius of the late, great Kevin Keegan, and Eddie hosts another music-based sport quiz.
