## Resource

Adrian Durham is poolside in Miami with Stuart Pearce and Jim Proudfoot for another packed World Cup Daily. Portugal march on, Ronaldo lives to fight another day, and European Football Expert Andy Brassell takes an insightful look at the era-defining Ronaldo v Messi debate - why it still matters and how both icons pushed each other to greatness. We look ahead to Argentina v Cape Verde - can Cape Verde pull off the unthinkable, or is Messi ready to steal the show again? There’s also a fiery VAR debate about whether football really needs a Snickometer. Plus: more England reflections after the DR Congo drama and how smart is their plan to tackle the altitude of Mexico?
