Wayne Rooney signs up to BBC forfeit if England World Cup quarter-final scenario plays out

Wayne Rooney has promised to perform Norway's iconic row if they beat Brazil and reach the quarter-finals and end up potentially facing England. The Manchester United and England icon vowed to do the Viking Row in the River Mersey in the North West should they stun the record holders. Erling Haaland scored the winner late on as the Europeans edged past Ivory Coast in Dallas. Antonio Nusa broke the deadlock to give Stale Solbakken's side the lead on the stroke of half-time but United's Amad scored a wonderful solo effort to restore parity. The game looked set to head to extra-time but Haaland was on hand to steer home his 60th goal for Norway , becoming the fastest ever international talisman to reach that landmark. BBC presenter Gabby Logan joked that Rooney had been practicing the post-match ritual, which has become a breakout star from this summer's World Cup, and the pundit made a promise if Norway reach the last eight. "They're preparing to do their iconic row. Wayne has been practicing; he hasn't promised to deliver it tonight, but before the end of the tournament. If Norway end up beating Brazil, there is a possibility, if England get through, they'd face England," Logan said. Rooney replied: "If Norway get to the quarter-finals, I will go in the River Mersey and I'll row down it."

As the Icelandic clap did at Euro 2016, Norway's Viking Row has taken the World Cup by storm with supporters stealing the show with the phenomenon. It has since gone mainstream with Martin Odegaard leading the orchestra post-match while Ryder Cup star Viktor Hovland broke out into his own rendition during his Traveller's Championship PGA Tour event win last weekend. Traditionally, it starts with the blowing of a traditional Norse horn before everyone sits down on the floor in a formation resembling a Viking longboat. The leader bangs a drum, which has become the fabric of the chant at the World Cup across North America. The drum starts slowly at first and quickens with every beat while the fans row their arms back in unison and chant, "row". Rooney, who has been a regular for BBC since being relieved of his duties as Birmingham City manager in 2024, says he will perform the action in the River Mersey, a major river in the North West, should they beat Brazil. The 40-year-old will learn his fate after the showdown on July 5 (8pm kick-off) when the two nations showdown at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Rooney may be hoping that Haaland doesn't stun Carlo Ancelotti's side and book their place in the last-eight. But should the FIFA-ranked 31st nation in the world do so, the Everton academy graduate may be relieved that he will be forced to honour his bet in the summer and not in the winter when the temperatures of the Mersey waters plummet. In doing so, he wouldn't be the first member of the BBC Sport broadcast team to fulfil a promise after Gary Lineker presented Match of the Day in his boxers after Leicester City's famous Premier League triumph in 2016. Logan said: "You heard that here first! It's not exactly presenting Match of the Day in your underpants, but I think it's a fairly good thing to commit to. I'm pretty sure we'll hold you to that as well."

Best World Cup Goals: The Top 50 Goals Of The Tournament So Far

In the biggest edition of the World Cup yet, we've already seen more goals than ever before — and we've already witnessed some bangers and golazos in just group play. Lionel Messi continued to do what he does best and make history, but several other superstars have already showed out, too. Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland already have multiple braces, while Ousmane Dembélé scored a hat trick in France's final match of group play. But which goals have been the best so far in the 2026 FIFA World Cup? We are here to let you know which goals are the best of the best. On a night when Lionel Messi scored an astonishing three goals (his first-ever World Cup hat trick), the first one stood out the most. Algeria gave Messi too much space in the middle of the field, and he made them pay. Argentina's captain and superstar delivered a magical goal to open his account at the 2026 World Cup. Messi picked up the ball in midfield and was able to turn toward the goal. He dribbled forward, put the ball on his left foot and put the ball in the top corner. It was a moment of magic from Messi, who had a goal ruled out for offside in the early minutes of the game. Two more goals ensued, but this set up what would be an unforgettable night in Kansas City. After tying the record for most goals in the history of France's men's team, Kylian Mbappé set the new mark in style. Mbappé picked up possession after Michael Olise was fouled, but the referee played the advantage. From there, he unleashed a laser past Senegal keeper Édouard Mendy for a record-setting goal. It also put a ribbon on France's win over a quality Senegal team. Sweden got on the board in the seventh minute in its World Cup opener through midfielder Yasin Ayari, who hammered home a shot from just outside the top of the 18-yard box. His first of two goals against Tunisia was a knuckleball that barely moved through the air. It went around the goalkeeper and into the back of the net. Balogun's coming-out party was on June 12 at Los Angeles Stadium against Paraguay, and his second goal of the game for the USA was the cherry on top. The AS Monaco striker delivered a dominant first-half performance, imposing his will on Paraguay's defense. He had already scored when midfielder Malik Tillman put him through on goal. He fought off one defender, dribbled past another and then used his weaker left foot to place a shot perfectly in the top corner. Haiti was only playing for pride against Morocco, but that doesn't mean its goals should count for less. Wilson Isidor scored one of the top goals of group play when his strike from outside the box somehow found the back of the net, perfectly shooting for the top left corner of the net to give Haiti a 2-1 lead over Morocco at the time. It only took Ousmane Dembélé 20 minutes to record a brace in France's win over Norway, with his left-footed shot from outside the box finding the net. It was the type of goal that showed the PSG star's previous woes at the international level might be behind him, as he buried a pretty impressive shot en route to a hat trick. Eldor Shomurodov found an ambitious way to score in the 10th minute of Uzbekistan's match against DR Congo. He was able to get the ball in the box after a good run, getting his left foot on it and somehow elevating it over the pursuing defender. The ball hung in the air for a couple of seconds as well, getting over the outstretched reach of the DR Congo goalie to give his side a 1-0 lead. Colombia dominated Uzbekistan for 39 minutes, but it needed a moment of brilliance to finally break through against a stingy defense. Colombian star Luis Díaz played a great lofted pass down the field as right back Daniel Muñoz made a run into the Uzbekistan box. Muñoz, who plays for Crystal Palace, only needed one touch to use the momentum of the pass to carry it past Uzbekistan goalkeeper Utkir Yusupov. Sweden was down 1-0 to Japan, a result that would have left its fate uncertain for the knockout rounds. Enter, Anthony Elanga. The Sweden winger picked up the ball on the right wing and curled a beauty into the far post with his weaker foot. It was a potentially massive goal. Japan wasn't able to upset Brazil in the round of 32, but it gave it a good scare thanks to Kaishū Sano. In the 29th minute, Sano worked his way though Brazil's defense before firing off his strike as he was falling down from outside the box. The goal gave Japan a 1-0 lead, which it held for a good portion of the match. Kerim Alajbegovic stepped up when his country needed him against Qatar on Match Day 3. The 18-year-old attacker, who plays his club soccer for RB Salzburg in Austria, picked up a pass from midfielder Ivan Basic. He dribbled around one Qatar defender and then unleashed an impressive strike from 25 yards out that beat goalkeeper Mahmud Abunada. The exclamation point at the end of the United States' win over Paraguay came from Reyna, who put his impressive technique on display in the final minute of the match. Reyna, a source of controversy at the 2022 World Cup, came on in the 82nd minute for Tillman. The USA was keeping the ball while seeing out the win over Paraguay when the ball moved up the field down the right wing. Alex Freeman gave the ball to Reyna for what was the 26th pass of the attack, and Gio hammered it home with the outside of his right foot. No Lionel Messi? No problem. Giovani Lo Celso buried the free kick outside the box in the first half of Argentina's match against Jordan as Messi watched from the bench. Rafik Belghali had one of the goals of the tournament when he won a ball off the corner flag before weaving through the Austrian defense and firing a banger that helped Algeria level its match against Austria. The Germans opened their account quickly against Curaçao, to the surprise of no one. One of the best teams in the field facing the smallest country in the tournament was always going to be a mismatch, and it only took Germany six minutes to take the lead. Midfielder Felix Nmecha picked up the ball just outside the 18-yard box on the left side of the field. He played a pass to star Florian Wirtz — among the top-25 players in our ranking of the World Cup's 100 best — who pushed a slick pass back to Nmecha. The Borussia Dortmund man finished a clever one-two with a beautiful curling finish. South Korea controlled its opening match against Czechia but found itself behind in the second half after the Czechs took a first-half lead. Hwang In-beom was all over the pitch in this match, but his equalizing goal truly stood out. He was played into the 18-yard box by PSG midfielder Kang-In Lee, then he stopped on a dime, put the ball on his right foot and chipped Czechia goalkeeper Matěj Kovář. It was a brilliant goal that the Koreans needed badly. Earlier on Monday, June 22, Lionel Messi scored twice to get to 18 World Cup goals, the most ever. It took Kylian Mbappé hours to respond. Michael Olise teed up the France captain on the right wing, and Mbappé put the ball on his weaker foot and hit it brilliantly into the back of the net. It was Mbappé's 15th World Cup goal, which signals he will not stop chasing Messi and maybe take over his lead one day. Canada's fourth goal in its 6-0 win over Qatar proved to be emotional for all gathered in Vancouver as it occurred mere moments after Ismael Kone was carted off the field with a serious leg injury. Nathan Saliba, who came on for Canada for Kone, took a bending free kick that landed just inside the woodwork past the Qatar keeper. Instead of a usual celebration, Saliba held up the jersey of his teammate in what will be a lasting image of Canada's World Cup run. Ousmane Dembélé's first goal of his hat trick against Norway was also pretty impressive. The France star junked out a Norwegian defender along the edge of the box before firing a shot to give his team an early 1-0 lead. Gueye subbed on in the second half of Senegal's win over Iraq and scored one of the top goals of the group stage just minutes later. He scored on an impressive strike from outside the box, finding the top shelf as he perfectly bended the ball for a goal. The Real Madrid star came into this tournament knowing he needed to be at his best for Brazil. After Morocco took a first-half lead, he stepped up. Vini Jr. picked up the ball near the touchline after a pass from midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. He cut inside onto his preferred right foot and nearly put the ball through the net with his finish. Congrats, Ousmane Dembélé. Not only did you score a hat trick in France's win over Norway, but all three goals also received pretty high placement on this list. His hat trick came in the first half, making it all the more impressive. Ermin Mahmić wasted no time making his presence felt for Bosnia and Herzegovina, even with his team down a player and down multiple goals. Moments after coming into the game, the substitute slammed a volley past Swiss keeper Gregor Kobel, who had punched the ball right into Mahmić's wheelhouse. Even in Bosnia's eventual loss, this was one of the game's best moments. Egypt entered its first game of the tournament against Belgium as a big underdog, but it got off to an early lead through a fantastic strike from Emam Ashour. Ashour, who plays for Al Ahly SC in Egypt, got a pass from birthday boy and Egypt captain Mohamed Salah about 25 yards from goal. Then, he unleashed a powerful strike that went past world-class goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. After falling behind because of a Harry Kane penalty, Croatia grew into its matchup against England very well and was rewarded. A long ball was played forward to Petar Sucic, who laid the ball off to Martin Baturina. Baturina delivered a great strike that England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could only get a hand to. Uruguay conceded a free kick at least 30 yards from goal, and it didn't seem like Kevin Pina was going to take aim at goal from that distance. Instead, Uruguay only put two players in the wall, which separated and let Pina's shot go straight through into the back of the net. It was a shocking moment in Miami but a brilliant hit from Pina. Canada fell a goal short of forcing a draw against Switzerland to win Group B, but Promise David's goal in the second half of that match nearly helped Les Rouges win the group. He was able to get his foot out and connected on a difficult cross for a Canadian goal. Austria midfielder Xavier Schlager lost the ball in midfield, and Jordan immediately began a counterattack. Noor Al-Rawabdeh fed winger Ali Iyad Olwan on the left wing, and he dribbled the ball 50 yards into the 18-yard box before curling a fantastic goal into the far post. It was a fantastic way for Jordan to score its first-ever World Cup goal. Morocco delivered a brilliant goal to open the scoring in its star-studded matchup with Brazil. Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz picked the ball up and found Ismael Saibari in between Brazil center backs Gabriel and Marquinhos, two of the best defenders in world soccer. With his first touch, the Moroccan striker lifted the ball over Alisson, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, for a brilliantly executed opening goal. The goal is quintessential Messi – collecting at the top of the box, a quick shift to the left and letting it rip – but its significance is what stands out. Messi doesn't have many more "firsts" in him, but this goal gave him three on the night for his first hat trick at the World Cup. With 16 goals in his sixth appearance at the tournament, he tied Germany legend Miroslav Klose for the most ever scored at the men's World Cup. Austria got a goal at the buzzer to level its match against Algeria, scoring a much-needed goal to help it advance. The score was a result of two headers, with Sasa Kalajdzic getting the goal for Austria. Down 1-0 after Virgil van Dijk gave the Netherlands a lead, Keito Nakamura stepped up with a massive goal for Japan. And what a hit it was. Nakamura picked up the ball just inside the 18-yard box, got it under control and then unleashed an impressive right-footed hit to beat Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. The most impressive part was that Nakamura's momentum was going away from goal when he struck the ball. After missing a penalty in the ninth minute against Austria, it looked like it might not be Messi's day. He only needed one goal to pass Miroslav Klose and become the World Cup's all-time leading goalscorer. Instead, about 30 minutes later, he delivered a classic Messi goal. Facundo Medina was on the left wing and played a low cross near the penalty box. Messi was right there, ready to pounce, and unleashed a fantastic left-footed shot that beat Austrian goalkeeper Alexander Schlager. Ritsu Doan played a one-two in midfield and then found Daizen Maeda through on goal. It was a wonderful team move that saw Japan take a lead against Sweden. Yasin Ayari, have a day. The Brighton midfielder and Swedish national star delivered two goals, the second of which got commentator Maurice Edu to proclaim, "Bangers only." Ayari could have represented Tunisia internationally, as his father is from the country. What an occasion for him to score twice. Tunisia didn't stand much of a chance on Saturday night against Japan, especially if Ayase Ueda is going to score goals like he did. Ueda delivered a cracker from outside the box that gave Tunisian goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen no chance. Iliman Ndiaye knew Senegal needed style points in its win over Iraq, and he gave his side a fifth goal in style. Coming on as a second-half sub for Switzerland, Johan Manzambi broke open what felt like a stalemate with a brilliant finish. Swiss midfielder Rubén Vargas looped the ball across the net that a Bosnian defender attempted to clear out via a header. Instead, the ball falls right in front of Manzambi, who twists his body past his marker and slams it past an outstretched Nikola Vasilj. Cunha's second goal against Haiti once again set up Vinícius Júnior, this time on a counter-attack. The Real Madrid star sprinted down the pitch with the ball at his feet to then slide a pass to the Manchester United playmaker, who initially took a wide touch. But Cunha found the narrow angle and slammed it into the roof of the net as he tumbled onto the pitch. Cyrienco Summerville is likely on the move this summer after West Ham United were relegated from the Premier League. His price tag will have gone up after his goal against Japan. Ryan Gravenberch found Summerville on the right wing, and he cut in on his weaker left foot and unleashed a curling effort that beat Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. It was a fantastic effort that gave the Netherlands a lead that wouldn't last. Down four goals to the Netherlands, at least Anthony Elanga gave Sweden a brief lifeline. Alexander Isak slipped a wonderful throughball into Elanga from the halfway line. The Newcastle United playmaker raced down the pitch and finished it off with shot past Dutch keeper Bart Verbruggen. Austria took an impressive lead against Jordan in its first match after a wonderful strike from Romano Schmid. Austria kept possession impressively before midfielder Xavier Schlager teed up Schmid from just inside 25 yards out. He delivered a wonderful strike into the top corner, which gave Jordan goalkeeper Yazeed Yazeed Abulaila no chance. Ibrahim Mbaye gave Senegal hope in stoppage time against France with a great run down the right wing, which ended with France left back Theo Hernández on the floor. Mbaye drove at Hernández and cut right so quickly that the defender fell to the ground. From there, he unleashed a powerful finish past France goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who assumed the shot was going toward his far post. Mbaye is only 18 years old and played for PSG in France. It didn't take Morocco long to secure the lead against Scotland. Just 70 seconds into the match, Ismael Saibari scored on an impressive strike to give Morocco a 1-0 lead in the second minute. Mohamed Salah picked up the ball on the right wing about 45 yards from goal and could not be stopped. The Liverpool legend, who will be leaving the club this summer, drove toward the 18-yard box and played a 1-2 with Mostafa Ziko, the scorer of Egypt's first goal. Salah got the ball back and finished very well past New Zealand goalkeeper Max Crocombe to give Egypt a crucial lead. Türkiye entered its matchup against Paraguay in need of a good start. The Turks needed a win after losing to Australia in their opening match and with their next game coming against the United States. Instead, Matias Galarza finished a great move from Paraguay and finished well in the bottom corner from 25 yards out. It was a great finish and shocker to open a crucial game for both sides. It was the fastest goal scored at the World Cup. Two substitutes combined for England for its fourth goal against Croatia. Bukayo Saka seized possession on the right wing and saw Marcus Rashford in acres of space on the left wing. Rashford was composed and faked a shot with his left foot to put it on his favored right. From there, the finish was inevitable. Gueye scored a brace in Senegal's 5-0 win over Iraq, doing so after subbing into the match in the second half. Australia's second goal over Türkiye sealed what will be one of the most notable upsets of the summer. Late in the second half, İsmail Yüksek turned it over in midfield with dire consequences. Connor Metcalfe retrieved it for Australia and ran to the edge of the box, where he shot low and hard inside the bottom right corner to beat keeper Uğurcan Çakır. Kylian Mbappé made history during France's World Cup opener against Senegal after getting on the end of a brilliant pass from Michael Olise. Mbappé tied Olivier Giroud for the most goals ever for France's men's national team. Olise picked up the ball on the right wing, put it on his favored left foot and played a brilliant ball through to Mbappé. From there, France's captain finished very cleverly past Senegal goalkeeper Édouard Mendy.

Manchester United team vs Sunderland predicted as Carrick makes changes with Sesko call made

Manchester United have three games remaining in the Premier League season. United secured Champions League football last weekend but the Reds will want to finish the campaign on a high. Michael Carrick hinted on Thursday that changes could be made to give some fringe players an opportunity to impress. However, a raft of changes is unlikely. Lisandro Martinez is back from his three-match suspension and could start. Harry Maguire has not let Carrick down this season and should keep his spot. Ayden Heaven has done nothing wrong but Carrick could be tempted to pair Leny Yoro with the experienced defender. Yoro was playing well up until his injury and deserves a run-out against Sunderland. Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw have nailed down the full-back positions. Click here to find out the latest Manchester United news in our daily newsletter Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo will start in midfield. The Brazil international is in the last stretch of his farewell tour and deserves to start every game, fitness dependent. Attacking midfield is where changes are more likely. Bruno Fernandes is still on the hunt for the assist record and he is the key to this United team. Benjamin Sesko had to be taken off after colliding with the advertising hoarding against Liverpool and Carrick said after the game United were being careful with him. This makes him the obvious option to drop out. Bryan Mbeumo could then move from right wing to centre-forward. He has done well in that role previously and after struggling for form recently, a return up top could be just what is needed. Amad's mistake gave Liverpool a route back into last weekend's game. He needs to play his way out of this form and a return to a stadium that holds happy memories for him could get him back on track. Matheus Cunha will start on the left ahead of Patrick Dorgu. United predicted XI vs Sunderland: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo

How Manchester United should line up vs Leeds in Premier League fixture

Manchester United finally return to Premier League action against Leeds tonight. United have waited 24 days to play a competitive fixture again after drawing against Bournemouth before the international break. During the break, Michael Carrick oversaw a training camp in the Republic of Ireland. Carrick hopes the trip will help United to end the Premier League campaign strongly and secure Champions League football. United are third in the table, putting them in a superb position to return to Europe's elite competition with seven games remaining. Leeds are scrapping to retain their top-flight status, but they will visit Old Trafford having not been beaten in their last four matches in all competitions.

You can also join our United Facebook page by clicking HERE and don't miss out on our brilliant selection of newsletters HERE. Regarding the team news, Harry Maguire is suspended after receiving a red card against Bournemouth, but Lisandro Martinez is set to return to the squad after recovering from an injury. This is how our writers think United should line up: Steven Railston Maguire could also miss the trip to Chelsea, depending on the outcome of the FA's charge for allegedly acting in an improper manner towards the fourth official against Bournemouth. Martinez returned to full training during the trip to Ireland, so he should be fit enough to start. Aside from an enforced one with Maguire missing out, the only change I would make from the team fielded before the break would be bringing in Sesko at the expense of Amad. Mbeumo, Sesko and Cunha are my early idea of the strongest attack for next season. Sesko has shown the quality to become a 20-goal-per-season striker, but he needs to be trusted to start to fulfil that potential. Jack Flintham With Maguire suspended, Martinez will need to step in to partner Yoro in defence. If fit enough, the Argentine has to take his chance. Dalot's absence from the Dublin training camp suggests he might not be risked tonight so Mazraoui is the logical alternative. The central midfielders pick themselves and should remain the same for the rest of this season. I would opt for Mbeumo as the lone centre-forward this evening, solely because Daniel Farke insisted they will try to take the game to United. His style is better suited to games against teams that leave gaps when attacking. Sesko off the bench has worked well for United this season so expect him to have a major say if called upon. Ross Jackson Martinez's return to training is a timely boost given Maguire's suspension. The Argentina international will be thrown straight back into the team alongside Yoro at centre-back. The rest of the team almost picks itself, but the big question ahead of team news dropping just over an hour before kick off will be who leads the line? Mbeumo gets the nod for me, but Sesko could have a big part to play off the bench given the problems Joshua Zirkzee causes Leeds in the reverse fixture when Daniel Farke's side were given something different to think about in the second half.

Amad Diallo sends message to Michael Carrick over Manchester United future

Amad Diallo has sent a message to Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) Amad Diallo has said the Manchester United squad believe Michael Carrick is the ‘right man’ to take over the club next season. Carrick has had a transformative effect on United’s fortunes this season since taking over after the sacking of Ruben Amorim in early January. The Red Devils have lost just one of their ten games since his arrival and now look set to qualify for the Champions League next season. Carrick’s contract expires at the end of the season, but he is now surely in the frame to become Amorim’s permanent successor heading into the summer. And the 44-year-old has got a huge vote of confidence after winger Amad suggested the squad are keen for him to stay on a longer-term basis. ‘Obviously it’s not for us as a player to decide, but he’s been very great, he’s been doing so much for the team,’ the Ivorian said. ‘He has a lot of experience, he knows the club and has the DNA. We think he’s the right man. We are really happy for what he is doing right now. Amad Diallo wants to see Carrick back in the dugout next season (Picture: Getty) ‘We have had a good experience with him, playing under him, it’s not for us to decide but we are going to try and take as much as we can from him.” ‘Since he’s arrived he’s been clear to everyone that he wants to win, he wants to reach the Champions League next season, and he’s been working with each player so he’s doing very well and we are really happy to have him as a manager. ‘Sometimes this kind of manager can bring the club where they belong. From a personal view he’s the right man but it’s not the players who decide.’ Michael Carrick is impressing as interim Man Utd boss (Picture: Getty) Fellow United forward Bryan Mbeumo also endorsed Carrick’s long-term appointment, saying: ‘We’ve got good experience with him, playing under him as well. It’s not for us to decide but we going to try to take as much as we can from him. ‘He knows the journey of the club, he knows how to talk to us as well, I think it’s been easier because he know the place so he has been great to work with. Carrick's record as United interim head coach Games: 10 Goals scored: 20 Goals conceded: 11 Form table since appointment: 1st ‘I think the club will decide at the end of the season, but my honest opinion is we’re really happy to have Michael Carrick as a manager and he’s doing well.’ Speaking recently, Carrick’s former teammate Wayne Rooney added himself to the list of names who want to see Carrick back next season. ‘100% he should [get the job],’ Rooney said. ‘I have said this. I knew this was going to happen with Michael Carrick. ‘I know him very well. I know his character, his personality. It needed a calm head, but someone who knows the place and the players needed some love, and he has given them that. ‘We have seen the players play with more quality, more together as a team, and they look like a very strong team. For me, why would you change? ‘He has got the best winning percentage of any Manchester United manager after that many games. For me, he has to get the job.’ United are back in action next Monday when they host Leeds United at Old Trafford.
