Chris Brown joins Chris McHardy for a special edition of Monday Night Football.

World Cup fever is in the studio as we look at the weird and wonderful stories coming from the United States. There's the heartwarming story of New Zealand's Tim Payne who has turned into a viral superstar overnight. 

We hear from the ex-Chicago mayor who explains why the Windy City decided AGAINST hosting games at this World Cup. Regarding the actual playing side, we get misty-eyed thinking about this potentially being the last dance for Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

There's also a regional focus as Rimal Al Sahra SC GM Sam White calls in to discuss the Southampton FC connection and how they're providing a platform for young players.

All this and much more on The Score.
