THE HIGHLIGHT REELbest, worst, and most recent take — at a glance.
BEST TAKEJUL 15, 2026
ARIGHT

Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham form the best partnership in this World Cup at the moment. While Messi is a huge problem, England also has weapons to compete against Argentina.

Kane and Bellingham each scored 6 goals at the 2026 World Cup — the first pair of teammates in World Cup history to both reach that mark in a single edition — accounting for 12 of England's 13 goals. Their partnership was widely covered as historically dominant and arguably the tournament's standout attacking duo. England did face Argentina in the semifinal but lost 2-1 in stoppage time, with Messi assisting both goals, validating Cowherd's caveat that Messi was 'a huge problem.'

WORST TAKEJUN 20, 2026
FWRONG

Netherlands is winning the World Cup. As a fledgling soccer expert, I can sense things many others can’t.

Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 after extra time on July 19, 2026, with Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal. Netherlands did not win the tournament, making Cowherd's prediction definitively wrong. The prediction was fully resolved well before the July 20 deadline.

MOST RECENTAUG 20, 2026
PENDING

The Patriots will not win 14 games because of their schedule, not because of Mike Vrabel's offseason moves or moral concerns

Awaiting result — this take gets a grade once it resolves.

The USMNT will win two knockout stage games over the next seven days despite only winning one knockout stage game ever in their history. The door is still open for them.

The USA has a favorable path to make a deep World Cup run, comparable to an easy March Madness bracket with teams like Richmond, Creighton, VCU, and Virginia Tech. Path matters in tournament success.

KAT stunk and Wemby was unbelievable. The Knicks lost because of player performance, not referees. Jalen Brunson is wearing down and is now a minus in the series against the Spurs.

Nothing quite like Conference Championship Saturday. I'll take the Buckeyes and the Bulldogs to get the job done. Fade or Follow @HardRockBet #HRBPartner
