## Summary

The Guardian's football cartoonist David Squires has published his latest illustrated feature, casting a satirical eye over the major stories of the 2026 World Cup. The cartoon centres on England reaching the quarter-finals (the last eight), contrasted with the hosts the United States being knocked out of the tournament.

The strip picks out talking points including a memorable England match staged in Mexico and a novelty item themed around Donald Trump, alongside nods to FIFA and Belgium. As a comic illustration rather than a written report, the piece offers commentary through drawings, and the page also promotes Squires's cartoon prints and his book, Chaos in the Box.
