After Cristiano Ronaldo foolishly got himself for the first time for Portugal, we ask Daniel Storey how much of the World Cup 2026 he’s likely to miss.

Patrik Syk is on hand to assess Sweden’s seemingly slim chances ahead of a huge double-header that will decide their World Cup fate.

We turn the focus of Heavy Metal Football Statistics onto goalkeepers with some surprising findings, and some not so surprising, particularly in the case of Robin Roefs. 

We have news from Spain where Luis Rubiales was egged by his uncle, news from Norway where Erling Haaland ordered 70 cheeseburgers to celebrate a win, and a gentle nudge in the direction of the games we’ll be watching this weekend.
