Our World Cup 2026 coverage is produced by a small editorial desk — match reports, tactical and data analysis, and a clear, graded prediction on every game. Here's who covers what.
Rohan runs our World Cup desk and writes the marquee match coverage. He cares less about reputations than about what the form and the matchups are actually telling us, and he keeps one eye on what every result means for the fan following from India.
Aditi turns the numbers into a read on the game — expected goals, scoring patterns and the tactical detail behind a result. She shapes how our model frames a match and is happiest explaining why a scoreline did or didn't make sense.
Daniel follows the African sides closely, from Morocco and Senegal to Ivory Coast and Congo DR. He writes about the players, the styles and the storylines that don't always get the airtime they deserve at a tournament this size.
Sofia covers the heavyweights — Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France and the rest — with a feel for the rhythms of the South American and European game. She likes a clear opinion, backed by what actually happened on the pitch.
Kenji tracks the Asian and Oceanian contenders — Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia and more — and the quick, pressing football many of them bring. He has a soft spot for the underdog and the tactical surprise.
Marcus files our fast post-match reports: what happened, who decided it and what it changes in the group. Clear, quick and to the point, with the key moments and the numbers that matter.
