Is this the most inclusive World Cup ever, or the most divisive yet?

Following a wide-ranging press conference from FIFA president Gianni Infantino, we break down his response to the controversies surrounding the tournament and examine the reaction to his comments.

We also discuss the growing debate around Ben Stokes' future as England captain after fresh remarks from managing director Rob Key, while former Everton manager David Moyes joins us to assess England and Scotland's chances at the World Cup and give his verdict on Everton being ordered to pay Burnley £35 million in damages. Does the ruling set a dangerous precedent for English football?

Plus, Gordon Ramsay discusses football's battle to win over the American sports audience, and former USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter reflects on his unique World Cup journey and the continued growth of the game in the United States.
