England are through the group stage — but has anyone actually seen enough to trust them yet? What is the best XI, are the substitutions helping, and how much should performances matter if the results keep coming?

Marshy, James and Tan discuss England’s selection choices and tournament expectations before moving into ageing stars, favourite World Cup matches and goals, fan culture and the memories that make international tournaments different from the weekly club game.

Part England review, part wider conversation about what makes a World Cup stick with supporters.

Who’s cooking and who’s crumbling as the World Cup starts to take shape? Are Cape Verde and Japan the real deal, what happens if England need an alternative to Kane, and is Morocco’s press a sign of where modern tournament football is heading?

Part two of the Vanbrugh session moves into the teams changing minds around the tournament, old-school width versus modern build-up, substitutes becoming genuine finishers and which sides are beginning to look more dangerous than expected. It is a wider look at how the competition is evolving beyond England alone.

England have beaten Croatia — but what did the performance actually prove before Ghana? Should a winning team be changed, how much should the defensive concerns matter, and when does tournament pragmatism become too cautious?

Doheny, James, John, Tan, Grant and Marshy go through England’s selection, shape, defending and game management after the opening win, as well as what needs sharpening before the next group-stage test.

The debate moves between sticking with what worked and making changes before the weaknesses become more costly.
