## Resource

Mbappe and Haaland have their much-anticipated head-to-head in the World Cup in Boston. Jimbo meanwhile faces off against Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams poolside in LA. Who will top the group between Norway and France? Intrepid Norwegian fan Martin Sliepnes has an idea. Thursday’s drama comes in New Jersey where Ecuador save themselves from elimination with a late winner against Germany. Netherlands set up a last 32 clash with Morocco while Japan and Sweden also progress to the next round from Group F. As do Australia and possibly Paraguay after their goalless draw in Group D. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
