Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by David Walker and Nick Miller on the latest World Cup Adjudication Panel. On the agenda: the least enviable venue to watch England vs USA, the most timeless World Cup fixture possible, a technical dismantling of Bebeto’s iconic USA '94 goal celebration and a sensational commentary moment involving a pigeon.
Meanwhile, the panel decide which is the most "in the shop window" team of the tournament and declare a winner between the BBC and ITV's opening title sequences.
