  • 3rd Place: England ALMOST Throw It Away: 4-0 Up, Then CHAOS vs France (Rabona TV)

    08:32|
    England were 4-0 up at half time… and ALMOST threw it away AGAIN. France roared back to 4-3 and came within inches of leading before England won a 10-goal classic 6-4 to take third place. Plus: Kylian Mbappe breaks Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup goals record. Full breakdown below. This was the maddest game of the tournament, with the most goals in a World Cup match since 1982. England raced into a 4-0 half-time lead in Miami: Declan Rice curled one in after just 134 seconds, Ezri Konsa headed home a corner, and Bukayo Saka struck twice before the break against a France side that barely showed up. Then everything flipped. Kylian Mbappe scored in the 48th, Bradley Barcola made it 4-2 on 54, and Mbappe's second on 66 minutes brought France within one; a goal that also took him past Lionel Messi as the all-time leading World Cup goalscorer on 22, with Messi able to respond in Sunday's final. France had chances to level and even lead before Saka's 87th-minute penalty completed his hat-trick, Ousmane Dembele struck deep in stoppage time, and Jude Bellingham had the final word at 90+8 to seal 6-4. England finish third, their best World Cup since 1966, days after their semi-final collapse against Argentina. And, Bellingham becomes the first Englishman to score seven at a World Cup. It was also Didier Deschamps' last game after 14 years in charge of France. I break down the chaos, the records, and what it all means.

  • Rabona TV's World Cup FINAL Predictions: Messi vs Yamal, Who Wins It ALL?

    14:42|
    It all comes down to THIS. Spain vs Argentina in the World Cup 2026 final — Lamine Yamal vs Lionel Messi, the tournament's best defence against the champions who refuse to lose. My full in-depth preview and prediction below. Who wins it all? Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the 2026 World Cup has its dream final. Argentina, the defending champions, are chasing what no nation has done since Brazil in 1962, back-to-back World Cups, dragged out of scare after scare by a 39-year-old Lionel Messi and his late, decisive magic in what could be his final World Cup match. Spain arrive unbeaten, having conceded less than anyone left, chasing a stunning World-and-European champions double, with 19-year-old Lamine Yamal ready to turn the final into his coronation. It's legend vs heir: Argentina's late-game ruthlessness against Spain's suffocating possession, and Messi's La Masia past against the very nation where he became a legend. I break down both roads to the final, the key tactical battles, the Messi vs Yamal duel, and give you my score prediction and my World Cup champion. 00:00 - Welcome00:24 - France vs England02:30 - Spain vs ArgentinaWatch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnY8DbRISx8FOLLOW RABONA TV FOR SHORT-FORM CONTENT DURING THE WORLD CUPhttps://www.instagram.com/Rabona.TVhttps://www.tiktok.com/@rabonatvCheck out The 90th Minute’s Daily show, Match Day: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute

  • Day 32: England’s TOTAL COLLAPSE as Messi Claims Another Victim (Rabona TV)

    09:12|
    England's TOTAL COLLAPSE. Five minutes from a first World Cup final in 60 years, England surrendered their lead and Lionel Messi struck twice at the death with two assists to send Argentina through 2-1. Messi claims another victim as the champions reach a SECOND straight final. Full semi-final breakdown below. England did everything right for 85 minutes. Anthony Gordon fired the Three Lions ahead early in the second half, they'd contained Messi, and a place in the final was in their grasp. Then they sat back, and it cost them everything. Messi, quiet all afternoon, came alive in the closing minutes: first drawing England's defenders and releasing Enzo Fernandez to smash home an 85th-minute equaliser, then drifting to the right wing to whip in a pinpoint cross that substitute Lautaro Martinez headed in during stoppage time. Two goals in six minutes, both made by Messi, and England's 60-year wait for a final goes on in the most agonising way imaginable. Argentina — the death-defying defending champions who have now survived scare after scare this tournament — march on to face Spain in New Jersey on Sunday, chasing a feat no nation has managed since Brazil in 1962: back-to-back World Cups. I break down England's fatal retreat, Messi's decisive cameo, and what it sets up in the final.00:00 - Hello00:42 - England vs ArgentinaWatch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIu3u9JJRxEFOLLOW RABONA TV FOR SHORT-FORM CONTENT DURING THE WORLD CUPhttps://www.instagram.com/Rabona.TVhttps://www.tiktok.com/@rabonatvCheck out The 90th Minute’s Daily show, Match Day: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute

  • Day 31: France COMPLETELY SILENCED by Spain’s Brilliance! (Rabona TV)

    08:23|
    France were COMPLETELY SILENCED. Spain produced a masterclass to win 2-0 in the World Cup 2026 semi-final, smothering Mbappe, Dembele and Olise and booking their place in the final. Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro did the damage. Full recap below. This was Spain at their brilliant best. In Dallas, La Roja took the lead in the 22nd minute when teenager Lamine Yamal was fouled by Lucas Digne and Mikel Oyarzabal calmly dispatched the penalty. Spain doubled the lead just before the hour, Pedro Porro finishing a slick give-and-go with Dani Olmo past Mike Maignan. But the real story was at the other end: the tournament's best defence strangled the most feared attack in world football, restricting Mbappe, Dembele, Olise and Doue to a barely-there 0.3 expected goals and never letting Les Bleus into the game. Yamal comprehensively outshone Mbappe — winning the penalty and even having a goal chalked off for offside. Spain march on to their first World Cup final since they lifted the trophy in 2010, chasing a stunning world-and-European-champions double against England or Argentina in New Jersey on Sunday. For France, the 2022 runners-up, it's a first defeat of the tournament and a drop to Saturday's third-place playoff, while Mbappe's chase of Messi's all-time World Cup goals record stalls on 20. I break down how Spain did it, the Yamal-Mbappe duel, and what comes next.00:00 - Hello00:25 - Spain vs FranceWatch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUzl6WwbXMoFOLLOW RABONA TV FOR SHORT-FORM CONTENT DURING THE WORLD CUPhttps://www.instagram.com/Rabona.TVhttps://www.tiktok.com/@rabonatvCheck out The 90th Minute’s Daily show, Match Day: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute

  • Rabona TV World Cup Semi-Finals Predictions: Who Reaches the FINAL?

    11:25|
    The World Cup 2026 semi-finals are SET - France vs Spain and England vs Argentina - and I'm predicting exactly who reaches the July 19 final in New Jersey. Two European giants collide, w World Cup rivalry is renewed, and a Messi vs Mbappe final is a possibility... again. Full predictions below. For the first time since FIFA rankings began, the top four teams in the world make up the final four. First, in Dallas on Tuesday, France vs Spain pits the tournament's most feared attack — Kylian Mbappe (fit after his ankle knock and chasing Messi's all-time World Cup goals record), Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise, against the best defence left standing, a Spain side that has conceded just ONCE all tournament and beat France in both 2024 and 2025. Then on Wednesday in Atlanta, England vs Argentina reignites one of the sport's great rivalries. England, chasing a first final since 1966, lean on Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane but must cope without the suspended Jarell Quansah; Argentina, the defending champions, have survived three straight knockout scares as Lionel Messi hunts back-to-back glory. Win both, and we get the 2022 final rematch everyone wants: Messi vs Mbappe. I break down every key battle, the team news, and give you my two finalists.00:00 - The Final Four00:57 - Spain vs France5:57 - Argentina vs EnglandWatch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lNAEORIK0YFOLLOW RABONA TV FOR SHORT-FORM CONTENT DURING THE WORLD CUPhttps://www.instagram.com/Rabona.TVhttps://www.tiktok.com/@rabonatvCheck out The 90th Minute’s Daily show, Match Day: https://www.youtube.com/@The90thMinute
