Only a victorious World Cup campaign will satisfy England captain Kane - Soccer News

We felt that, a little bit, at the last Euros. We got to the final and there was still a lot of negative noise around us. We knew that unless we won it that noise was going to continue, and it did, that's part and parcel of it. The success we've been building since 2018, semi-finals of the World Cup, a final, quarter-final, then another final, we've been knocking on the door, and we've consistently been one of the best teams in the world.

World Cup Streaming at Risk as Paramount Targets Warner Bros.

And for die hard wolrd cup fans, that matters a lot more than any Hollywood headline. If Paramount wins, they get all of WBD's sports assets in one fowl swoop - Eurosport included. Paramount already handles major live sports like the NFL and Champions League, meaning they actually have the capacity to fold mountain biking into a broader, more stable sports ecosystem.
