Host Mikael Silvestre is joined by fellow FIFA Legends to reflect on their World Cup memories and analyse the action from Matchday 1! First up, 1998 semi-finalists Aron Winter and Edwin van der Sar relive their experiences from the last time the FIFA World Cup visited the United States in 1994 and what they feel the Netherlands must do this summer to go the distance, building on their opening game draw with Japan. Ballon d’Or winner George Weah is also on the show and shares his pride in watching his son Timothy play in this year’s FIFA World Cup. He also explains the vital work the FIFA Players’ Voice Panel is doing to work against racism in football. Finally, Mikael catches up with four-time FIFA World Cup player for Saudi Arabia, Sami Al-Jaber. They discuss early World Cup dreams, Saudi Arabia’s 2026 performance and prospects, before an emotional look forward to his country hosting the tournament in 2034.
