Despite concern that Russia may field the worst team ever by a World Cup host nation, they've rolled to a pair of convincing victories and look like they'll have the chance to play a fourth game in this tournament.
We discuss the Russians' 3-1 win over Egypt and our sadness for Egyptian star Mohamed Salah during our World Cup Day 6 recap on the Planet Futbol podcast. Additionally we sit down for a lengthy chat with U.S. Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro, who explains how the 2026 World Cup bid was won by the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
