Less than 48 hours from kickoff and the World Cup is already delivering. Jason Longshore breaks down the pre-tournament storylines: Lionel Messi scoring a penalty at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn as Argentina cruised past Iceland, a chaotic US women's win in Brazil that ended with red cards raining down on the Brazilian bench, and the controversy surrounding Somali referee Omar Arten being denied entry into the United States. Jason also covers the managerial carousel in Spain with José Mourinho heading back to Real Madrid and Marco Silva taking over at Benfica, Atlético Madrid's very entertaining response to Real Madrid's 150 million euro bid for Julián Álvarez, and England's women heading to the playoffs despite winning five of six qualifiers. Then Madison Crews and Sofia Cupertino join for a Panini World Cup sticker pack opening, plus a preview of where the crew will be for the opening days of the tournament.
