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.

Year 3 is the 'POP year' for many great quarterbacks where they take off. Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and Josh Allen all had breakout third seasons, and Caleb Williams is expected to follow this pattern.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is the clear NL MVP over Shohei Ohtani. It's not a legacy debate but a regular season award, and Crow-Armstrong has the speed, power, and everything else that matters.
