Match Of The Day: World Cup Season 2018 Full Episode Guide
The best of the action from the tournament's opening game in Moscow as Russia and Saudi Arabia both seek to overcome a troubled build-up and poor recent World Cup history. Hosts Russia have not progressed beyond the group stage since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991 and they went into this World Cup as one of the lowest-ranked sides. Opponents Saudi Arabia have qualified for the first time in 12 years but their optimism has since been punctured by the resignation of coach Bert van Marwijk over a contract dispute and a subsequent lack of form. Presented by Dan Walker, with commentary from Guy Mowbray and Jermaine Jenas.
Gary Lineker is joined by Alan Shearer and Jermaine Jenas in Moscow to look ahead to one of the world's great sporting showpieces. They reflect on a youthful England side's prospects and analyse the teams most likely to challenge reigning champions Germany. Can Brazil lay to rest their ignominious 7-1 home thrashing by the Germans in the 2014 semi-finals? Will Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli be able to harness the attacking brilliance of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain? What of Spain, France, Belgium and Portugal, and which team and players can spring a surprise over the next month?
