## Resource

What does it mean to captain the USA at a home World Cup? Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith sit down with Tim Ream to talk about leading the United States, the responsibility of wearing the armband, the legacy this team hopes to leave behind and whether he'll keep his famous blonde hair if the USA win the World Cup. The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell joins to look back on another day in the last 16 as Norway, France and Mexico all book their places in the quarter-finals, while Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé continue their tournaments with more goals. They also look ahead to England's knockout tie with DR Congo. Plus, Rick and Lloyd discuss which celebrity they can replace on the 'star wall' in the pub.
