The Netherlands 2-2 Japan is the pick of the bunch from a brilliant selection of games at the 2026 FIFA World Cup so far. Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk was on the scoresheet, as was West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, but the Japan were an equal match.
David Cartlidge and Jonathan Johnson join Dotun to dissect that game. Plus, Germany dominate Curaçao (but not without a brief scare) & Türkiye start their World Cup campaign in the worst possible way with defeat to Australia.
