England 4-2 Croatia, Cape Verde Stun Spain & Messi's Hat-Trick

The World Cup is up and running, and so are England. Issy and George break down a cagey first half and a frankly unbelievable second half as England beat Croatia 4-2, including Harry Kane's penalty (taken twice, thanks to encroachment), a Jude Bellingham goal, and a man-of-the-match shift from Elliot Anderson up against Luka Modric. Then it's the big Round One report card: Cape Verde's 40-year-old goalkeeper holding Spain on their World Cup debut, Messi's hat-trick, Germany's seven-goal statement and a flying France. The hosts get into the Messi v Ronaldo debate, reveal the Brazil v Morocco prediction result (George leads 2-0), and George reports back from the World Cup in America. We add Virgil van Dijk and Vinicius Jr to our Ultimate World Cup XI, check in on the sweepstake (good news if you have Scotland), and lock in this week's prediction: Norway v Senegal, with Erling Haaland tipped for the Golden Boot.

Season Finale! Issy Wins The Title, West Ham Go Down & We're Off To The World Cup | UFH Ep28

This is it - the season-one finale. Arsenal are champions (and apparently have 300 million new fans overnight), and the final day settled the relegation battle. Issy was there to see West Ham go down - with a record: West Ham now hold two of the three highest points totals ever for a relegated team. Big commiserations to all the Hammers fans. Then the big one: the prediction game that's run all season comes down to the final weekend, and the final week counts DOUBLE. Issy went in five points clear on 31, George on 26. In the Women's Champions League final in Oslo, Barcelona thumped OL Lyonnes 4-0 - both hosts called the Barcelona win, two points each. Then Spurs beat Everton 1-0 on Premier League final day - George nailed the exact score for four doubled points, but it wasn't quite enough. Final score: Issy 33, George 32. Issy is your season-one champion by a single point. We hear from Harry, a brilliant Crystal Palace fan, dig into Thomas Tuchel's punchy England squad (Trent, Foden, Palmer and Gibbs-White all left out), play Football by Numbers: The Premier League Edition, and send the season off in style. This is the last episode of the season, but it is absolutely not goodbye - the Ultimate Football Heroes Podcast is going to the World Cup. Tell your mates!
