The third game of Group G at the 2026 World Cup ended goalless as 10-man Belgium misfired once again and could only manage a draw against fellow winless side Iran. Belgium defender Nathan Ngoy received a red card in the 66th minute for a professional foul on Iran and Olympiacos striker Mehdi Taremi after conceding possession on his own halfway line. Taremi did have the ball in the net during the first half, but it was ruled out for offside following a VAR review. Squandered c

Saudi Arabia and Spain entered the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta today with one goal in mind: win the match and move into first place in Group H. Both teams began their second 2026 FIFA World Cup match with one point after their opening fixtures, which ended in Spain vs Cape Verde (0-0) and Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay (1-1). Spain wasted no time in attempting to score, dominating possession throughout the opening six minutes. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia had little choice but to de

Coming into the contest, Germany knew exactly what was at stake. Victory would guarantee progression into the knockout rounds and maintain the momentum generated from their emphatic opening victory against Curaçao. From the opening whistle, they played with the authority of a side expected to challenge for the ultimate prize. Germany dominated possession early, moving the ball with speed and precision as they sought to stretch and exhaust the Ivorian defence. Joshua Kimmich d

Everything about Houston feels oversized. NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, sits in a city known as “Space City”, which feels fitting for a game where both teams were trying to find a bit more lift than they managed in their opening matches. Over 72,000 were inside the ground, over two million across the city, and somehow still enough room to fit San Francisco, Boston and New York inside it by area. Space, everywhere. On the pitch, though, there was likely to be less o

Brazil finally kickstarted their 2026 World Cup campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over a Haiti side that had proved difficult to beat. Goals came from Cunha and Vinícius Jr in the first 45 minutes, with Cunha finding the net twice inside the opening forty minutes. It was star man Vinícius Jr’s second goal of the tournament as he looks to propel Brazil towards a sixth World Cup triumph. It was a well-taken finish, and it will be interesting to see how much of a threat he

Paraguay 1-0 Turkey: Ten-Man Paraguay Stun Turkey Paraguay upset Turkey with a 1-0 victory despite playing the entire second half with 10 men. Matías Galarza put Paraguay ahead in the second minute with a left-footed effort from outside the box. Miguel Almirón was dismissed just before half-time for covering his mouth while speaking during a scuffle between the two teams. Turkey dominated possession and peppered the Paraguay goal with shots throughout the contest but ultimate

Canada moved to the top of Group B after a professional 6-0 thrashing of the Asian Cup champions Qatar, hitting six without reply in an action-packed encounter in Vancouver. Cyle Larin poked the hosts ahead early in the first half and, from that point on, the floodgates opened and showed no sign of closing. Juventus striker Jonathan David scored a first-half brace after Homam El Amin was sent off. Qatar felt the full force of Canada in the second period as Nathan Saliba conve

Mexico became the first country to progress to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they edged past South Korea in Guadalajara. After a dull first half, El Tri took the lead shortly after the restart when a goalkeeping error allowed veteran Luis Romo to poke home for the hosts. A last-gasp save from Raúl Rangel secured the victory and booked Mexico’s place in the Round of 32, where they will play in Mexico City. Mexico Become the First Country to Qualify for the K

The first of this year’s second-round matches saw Czechia pegged back by a late South Africa penalty, with both teams now requiring a win in their final group games to have a chance of progressing in the tournament. Teboho Mokoena’s 83rd-minute spot-kick cancelled out Michal Sadílek’s early opener, injecting life into what had otherwise been a drab affair. Sadílek put Czechia ahead with the quickest goal of the World Cup so far. Just five minutes and seven seconds had elapsed

Colombia made a winning start to their 2026 World Cup campaign with a solid 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan. Led from the front by Luis Díaz, Los Cafeteros produced a dominant display throughout to kick off their first World Cup appearance since 2018. Uzbekistan, coached by 2006 World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro, defended resolutely at times but were ultimately second best in both possession and goalscoring opportunities. Story of the Match The Colombian side, although pe
